GAS DETECTION

Gas detectors are designed to detect the presence of various gases within a specified area, usually as part of a safety system. Gas detectors are extremely important as there are many gases that are harmful to both humans and animals.
Gas detectors have various benefits:
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM DETECTION
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless odorless and tasteless gas that is slightly lighter than air. It is toxic to humans and animals when exposed in high concentrations. Carbon Monoxide forms when there is not enough oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, for example, when operating a stove or an internal combustion engine in an enclosed space. Some processes in modern day, such as iron smelting, still produce carbon monoxide as a byproduct.
FREON ALARM DETECTION
Arenas use a variety of gases for the general operation & maintenance of the facility, including the refrigerant (ammonia or CFC/Freon) and often propane. These gases are safe when used properly and with well maintained equipment, but there is always the chance of equipment experiencing problems or operator error which can cause gas leaks. Rinks are also susceptible to air quality problems attributed to excessive levels of gases such as carbon monoxide.
Gas detectors have various benefits:
- Used to detect various types of gases - combustible, flammable, and toxic gases, as well as oxygen depletion
- They can be battery operated
- Transmit warnings that are detected when dangerous levels of gas vapors are detected
- Modern gas alarms can detect several toxic or combustible gases
