PureAire vs. BW Technologies by Honeywell
The following is a cost of ownership comparison for a BW Technologies by Honeywell gas detector, compared to a PureAire gas detector. BW Technologies by Honeywell monitors use disposable sensor cells. BW Technologies LP (BW) warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for a period of two years, under a normal monitoring environment.3 BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends calibrating the transmitter at start-up and BW recommends a calibration check on a regular schedule, once at least every 90 days.2 More frequent checks or inspections are encouraged to spot problems such as mud collections on the sensor head, accidental painting over the sensor head, etc.2 PureAire monitors use a proprietary renewable sensor cell technology that only requires replacing the electrolyte and membrane. The price for recharging a PureAire sensor cell is only $34 dollars and the frequency is between 6 months and 2 years per sensor.
Many of PureAire sensor cells can operate in 100% RH condensing environments with virtually zero drift. BW Technologies by Honeywell operates their cells to, 5 to 95% RH non-condensing environments, or 0 to 100% LEL non-condensing.1 Additionally, our renewable sensor cell can operate outdoors in an Arizona summer heat or a Montana winter without the use of coolers and cell heaters.
