Both are aspirated detection systems, meaning they pull air from strategically placed sample points into the unit, where sensors measure the concentration of refrigerant in the air and trigger alerts if a leak is detected. Parasense Refrigerant Tracking & Compliance Software Both systems are capable of monitoring up to 16-zones for more than 60 different refrigerants Both systems are capable of monitoring up to 16-zones for more than 60 different refrigerants and are capable of detecting leaks as low as 1 ppm – considered very early detection for the average leak rate.  With an increased industry focus on tracking refrigerant usage and regulatory compliance, MSA Safety is showcasing its Parasense Refrigerant Tracking & Compliance Software. This cloud-based software offers refrigerant management and tracking tools designed to help users reduce operating costs, understand and address their own compliance needs, and achieve sustainability and efficiency goals. Different HVAC-R products and network protocols AHR Expo attendees can learn more about MSA’s suite of FieldServer Protocol Gateways and how they can help customers with building automation and controls, refrigerant leak detection, and data management. These Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) gateways are secure, easy-to-configure devices that serve as entry points for data communication and processing between different HVAC-R products and network protocols to the cloud. Latest AHR Expo 2025 FieldServer Gateways are connectivity solutions supporting more than 140 protocols, including Modbus, BACnet, LonWorks, and KNX. These solutions, expert personnel and more will be featured at MSA Safety’s Booth #1361 in the Orange County Convention Center West Building.
