What is different about the Vaisala Optimus DGA gas analyzer?
The Vaisala Optimus DGA OPT100 gas analyzer is the culmination of decades of research into customer needs and existing devices, as well as leveraging our 80 years of experience in manufacturing sensors and measurement equipment for safety-critical industries and harsh environmental conditions.
No more false alarms
The gas analyzer's IR sensor has been developed and optimized in Vaisala's clean environment. Vacuum gas sampling means no fluctuations in data due to temperature, pressure or oil type, and the sealed and protected optical system prevents sensor contamination. Final result? A gas analyzer that completely eliminates false alarms.
A device that works anywhere
Stainless steel tubing, IP66 temperature controlled housing, magnetic pump and valves provide superior performance and durability - from the arctic to the tropics. Also, there are no consumables for maintenance or replacement.
Smart features for seamless monitoring
The Vaisala Optimus DGA OPT100 gas analyzer has a browser-based interface that completely eliminates the need for additional software. The device can be installed in less than two hours. Just prepare the oil and connect the electricity, it is ready to go. In case of any troubles, such as a power outage, the self-diagnosis function allows the device to independently restore all necessary resources.

1) The indicated error is the error of the sensors during calibration measurements of gas concentration. The error in measuring gas concentration in oil can also be affected by the properties of the oil and other chemical compounds dissolved in the oil.
2) Depending on which value is greater.
3) Reproducibility of ethane concentration measurements is based on averaging over five measurements.
4) Measured as relative saturation (%).
5) The upper range is limited by saturation.
6) Calculated concentration value (in ppm) is based on average solubility in mineral oils.
