Methane Gas Detection Systems
Designed for “Green” Environmentally Friendly Alternative Fuel
Vehicles.
Major heavy duty truck manufacturers
are rushing to develop engines that run on
CNG (compressed natural gas) and LNG
(liquefied natural gas).
T Boone Pickens has estimated there will be
350,000 converted heavy duty trucks in
service within three years.
Methane is a potentially explosive
by-product of LNG and CNG Fueled Engines.
The
Xintex® line of products
include everything you need for outfitting a complete and
safe methane gas detection
system:

Gas Detection System Example
Methane Gas
Detector S2B-M-X
 |
The Xintex® Methane Gas
Detector / Monitor, Model S2B-M-X-Display-D, constantly monitors the level of
highly explosive methane and goes into alarm prior to a
dangerous situation occurring.
This advanced
micro-processor, state of the art, Methane Gas Detector
is incorporated into the design and re-design of
vehicles using CNG or LNG as a fuel.
|
Product Design: The
stylish contemporary design of the Xintex Methane Gas
Detector Monitor is ideal for installation into a dash,
or similar panel. The 2 1/8” round housing, with 2 5/8”
square bezel compliments the interior design of trucks
and buses.
Advanced electronic
circuitry utilizes our exclusive digital signal,
eliminating the necessity of purchasing proprietary
cabling to sensors and panels. Equipped with Deutsch
Connectors, with heat shrink and boots. Installation at
the factory or aftermarket provides cost savings, versus
competitive models. Standard 18 gauge insulated wiring
may be incorporated into wiring harness. All connections
are through Deutsch Connectors for a plug and play
installation, thus saving costs and time at the factory.
Aftermarket installations are made easy as heavy bulky
proprietary cabling is not required.
Optional Xintex wiring
harness for sensors and remote status panels equipped
with Deutsch Connectors are available at additional cost
where desired.

Methane Gas Detection
Sensors
Xintex Methane Gas Detection Sensors are designed for
specific reaction to elevated levels of methane and
natural gas, while ignoring other hydro carbons, thus
insuring faster response time and elimination of false
alarms due to sulfated batteries, asphalt fumes on
recently paved roads, elevated gasoline fumes from
neighboring parked trucks, etc.
All sensors are pre-conditioned in our temperature and
humidity controlled rooms for a minimum of 7 days prior
to final calibration processes
