Product Summary

The PureAire Hydrochloric Acid Fixed Gas Detector is purpose-built for continuous monitoring of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), a strong, corrosive mineral acid formed by dissolving hydrogen chloride gas in water. It’s a clear, colorless solution with a sharp, pungent odor and is widely used across multiple industries due to its highly reactive and acidic nature.

Hydrochloric Acid is commonly used in metal processing, chemical manufacturing, the food industry, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment. 

Safety Risks of Hydrochloric Acid – corrosivityIt can cause severe burns to the skin, eyes, throat, and respiratory tract. Inhalation Hazards –  Exposure to HCl vapors or mists can lead to coughing, choking, inflammation, or pulmonary edema in high concentrations. Reactive with Water & Bases – Violent reactions can occur, releasing heat and hydrogen chloride gas. Environmental Hazard – Corrosive to metals, damages equipment, and poses risks to aquatic life if released into water systems.

PureAire’s hydrochloric acid sensors are designed for long-term use, lasting up to 8 years in normal conditions. They are also rechargeable on-site with electrolyte, making maintenance simple and cost-effective while minimizing system downtime.

The PureAire gas detector offers a durable, dependable, and low-maintenance monitoring solution for any industrial applications involving hydrochloric acid.

The Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector is a fixed, compact gas monitor that’s built for continuous monitoring of Hydrochloric acid (HCl), protecting workers from toxic and corrosive gas exposure in the workplace.  Designed as a stand-alone monitor, the Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector can also be connected to any PureAire accessory, including the CloudConnect, horn and strobes, remote digital display, programmable logic controller, or SCADA system. PureAire also manufactures toxic gas detectors with a remote sensor. 

The heart of the Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector is the smart, renewable hydrochloric acid sensor cell programmed with specific gas and measurement range information. When servicing the sensors, they can be recharged with fresh electrolyte and dynamically gas-calibrated in the maintenance shop away from the transmitter.

Minimize Operational Costs with PureAire’s Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector

Industry-Leading Low Maintenance Costs

Looking to reduce your gas detection system expenses? PureAire’s Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector offers the lowest annual operating costs in the industry. Unlike traditional gas monitors that rely on expensive disposable sensors, PureAire’s innovative renewable hydrochloric acid sensors can be easily refreshed in the field with electrolyte, at just 20% of the cost of replacing sensor cells. Routine upkeep averages only $70 per year, delivering hundreds in annual savings compared to disposable sensor models.

Hassle-Free Stand-Alone Operation

No Complex Setup Required

Installation is quick and simple. The PureAire Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector functions as a fully stand-alone system—just mount it near your risk zone, plug it into any standard 115VAC 60Hz or 220VAC 50Hz outlet, and you’re ready to monitor. Built-in safety features like a loud alarm horn and bright LED indicators instantly alert personnel to dangerous gas levels. Plus, with dedicated alarm and fault relays, you can easily connect to external warning systems, while the 4-20mA analog output ensures seamless integration with SCADA and PLC systems.

Intelligent, Continuous Monitoring

Smart Sensor Technology You Can Trust

Engineered for reliability, PureAire’s Hydrochloric Acid Gas Detector is equipped with intelligent self-monitoring electronics that operate around the clock. In the event of a malfunction, the system’s analog output and fault relay provide immediate notification to your control room. The sensor includes an integrated microcontroller that stores calibration data and simplifies maintenance—you can detach it for service, then plug it back in with all calibration information automatically synced.
