DOL 51 heated ammonia sensor, 140312

DOL 51 Industrial Ammonia Sensor

The DOL 51 is a high-fidelity electrochemical sensor specifically engineered for the continuous and precise measurement of ammonia concentrations in intensive livestock housing. Ammonia gas is a significant environmental stressor; even low concentrations can impair the respiratory defenses of poultry and pigs, leading to reduced feed intake, poor weight gain, and increased susceptibility to disease. Integrating the DOL 51 into your climate management system ensures proactive ventilation control, maintaining air quality at optimal levels for peak biological performance.

Precision Engineering for Harsh Environments

The DOL 51 is built to withstand the demanding conditions of modern livestock facilities, including high humidity and significant dust loads. It features advanced cross-sensitivity compensation, ensuring that the sensor reacts specifically to ammonia molecules without interference from other common farm gases. This provides farm managers with reliable data to optimize ventilation rates, which not only improves animal welfare but also significantly reduces heating costs during winter by avoiding excessive air exchange.

Installation and Mounting Strategies

To ensure accurate environmental readings, the DOL 51 should be installed in a location with representative airflow, ideally at the animals' head level where gas concentration directly impacts their health. Avoid mounting the sensor directly near air inlets or exhaust fans, as this can lead to skewed localized data. Critical Maintenance Note: During high-pressure washdowns or disinfection cycles, the sensor must be shielded with a waterproof cap or removed. Direct contact with pressurized water or corrosive chemical fog can permanently damage the sensitive electrochemical membrane.
