A gas detection system detects the presence of harmful gases inside or outside of a building. These gases may be toxic to humans or they could be combustible and cause a deadly fire. When a gas detection system is interfaced with a control system, it can be used to turn on ventilation systems or shut down systems. Gas detection systems can notify people if action is required, such as evacuating the building. These systems also help maintain the productivity of your business.
Detection for Combustible Gas
Having a system in place that detects combustible gas is important for preventing dangerous fires. A gas that is combustible is any gas that will burn or ignite. Gas detectors that have catalytic or infrared sensors can be used to detect the presence of combustible gas. If a high level of combustible gas is detected by the sensors, equipment may be shut down and the air may need to be ventilated.
Detection for Toxic Gas
A toxic gas is a gas that may be harmful or dangerous for people to breathe in or be exposed to. A toxic gas detector uses electrochemical sensors or metal oxide semiconductors to detect the presence of a toxic gas. Some examples of gases that a toxic gas detector may react to are hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, oxygen deficiency, and more. If a sensor detects a high level of a toxic gas, the building may need to be evacuated for the safety of the occupants.
Applications for Gas Detection Systems
Gas detection systems are needed in a variety of applications. Many industrial and manufacturing facilities need gas detection systems to prevent workers from exposure to dangerous gases.
Some places that may need gas detection include:
- Welding Shops
- Nuclear Power Plants
- Automotive Plants
- Power Generation
- Oil & Gas Applications
- Chemical Plants
