Following the development of new patented technology for the measurement of gases that have an impact on the environment and in the climate, Danfoss Ventures and the Bitten and Mads Clausen Foundation have set up a new company, Danfoss IXA A/S, which will display its sensor technology for the first time from April 20 to 25 2009 at the Hannover exhibition, in Germany.

“Our sensor is able to measure gases in very harsh conditions and this is what makes it stand out from others. It measures several gases ie. CO2 and ammonia simultaneously and it is faster and much more robust compared to other sensors currently on the market,” said Jens Møller Jensen, Technical Director and the creator of the sensor technology.

According to Danfoss, the focus is also on the emission of shipping industry gases which have an impact on the environment, such as SOx and NOx. Since the sensor can also be used for measuring gases in, for example, exhausts on ships, the shipping industry is a priority in Vejle, which will be the location of the new company’s headquarters.
