MLD Gas Detector Now Features Expanded ATEX Certification

GVZ MLD Gas Detector Achieves Expanded ATEX Certification for Hazardous Areas

Safety in hazardous environments depends on more than accurate gas detection. It requires reliable technology, regulatory compliance, and products specifically designed to operate where explosive atmospheres may be present.

We are proud to announce that the GVZ MLD Gas Detector has achieved an expanded ATEX certification, further extending its suitability for installation in hazardous industrial environments.

This milestone confirms our commitment to providing gas detection solutions that combine advanced sensing technology with long-term reliability and compliance with international safety standards.

Why Expanded ATEX Certification Matters

ATEX certification is essential for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. For OEMs, system integrators and plant operators, choosing an ATEX-certified gas detector means simplifying system approval while ensuring compliance with European safety regulations.

The expanded certification broadens the range of applications where the MLD Gas Detector can be confidently deployed, providing an even more versatile solution for demanding industrial environments.

Advanced Gas Detection Powered by NevadaNano MPS™ Technology

At the heart of the MLD series is the innovative Molecular Property Spectrometer™ (MPS™) sensing technology developed by NevadaNano.

Unlike conventional gas sensing technologies, MPS™ analyzes the molecular properties of gases rather than relying on chemical reactions. This approach provides exceptional stability, long-term accuracy and virtually maintenance-free operation.

For OEMs and industrial users, this translates into lower operating costs, improved reliability and outstanding long-term performance.

• Factory calibrated with no field recalibration required
• Expected sensor lifetime exceeding 15 years
• Exceptional resistance to sensor poisoning
• Stable performance across changing environmental conditions
• Accurate detection of refrigerants, hydrogen and flammable gases
• Reduced maintenance throughout the product lifecycle

Typical Applications

Thanks to its expanded ATEX certification and advanced sensing technology, the GVZ MLD Gas Detector is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

• HVAC-R systems
• Commercial and industrial refrigeration
• Hydrogen production and storage
• Electrolyzers
• Fuel cell systems
• Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
• Industrial process plants
