FLIR G343 OGI Cameras
for Carbon Dioxide (CO2) /Hydrogen
Avoid An Outage With New Hydrogen Leak Detection Technology In Flir G343™
The FLIR G343 is an innovative Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) camera used to visualize possible carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas leaks in complex systems including enhanced oil recovery, carbon capture systems, and hydrogen-cooled power generators. Whether or not CO₂ is a byproduct of a production process or used as a trace gas, the portable, non-contact G343 is ideal for detecting CO₂ gas leaks without interfering or shutting down large-scale manufacturing operations.
Utilities now have a way to efficiently find hydrogen leaks while using very small concentration of CO2 as a tracer gas (3-5%). Imaging the tracer gas with the G343 OGI camera, allows operators to detect even tiny hydrogen leaks accurately, compared to the conventional methods.
This advanced cooled 320 × 240 (76,800 pixels) resolution camera can detect CO leaks from a safe distance, reducing inspection time by scanning large areas without interfering or shutting down large-scale manufacturing operations. Featuring a rotating, color LCD touchscreen, the G343 is ideal for detecting CO gas in complex systems.
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® allow you to connect to smartphones or tablets and effortlessly edit and store images in the cloud, or wirelessly transfer files using the included FLIR Ignite™ cloud service.

The FLIR G343 also measures temperatures from -20°C to 300°C accurately in real time, and FLIR’s patented High-Sensitivity Mode (HSM) makes CO2 leaks stand out more clearly while allowing you to efficiently scan thousands of components.
