AIR CONDITIONING
of toxic and non-toxic gases to be swiftly identifi ed and repaired. Using a semiconductor or an infrared sensing element, they are programmed to detect a wide variety of gases and can be pre-calibrated to a specifi c mixture of refrigerant and air so that the sensor’s sensitivity meets the needs of its operating environment, including in extreme settings, like cold storage.
Given the way that modern buildings are managed, these
newer detection systems benefi t from advanced diagnostic and communications capabilities and have been designed for easier integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), ensuring they can be proactively monitored either directly or online. The use of active fi lters, meanwhile, helps extend their operational life expectancy. With regards to keeping occupants safe, modern detection systems feature LEDs that indicate the presence and status of each sensor, together with audio/visual alarms that alert those on-site. In terms of eradicating energy waste, these sophisticated sensors have delivered a return on investment in just two years. Overall, modern gas detection systems provide several important benefi ts. They minimise the risk of exposure by alerting occupants to leaks, and they ensure leaks can be addressed quickly, halting environmental damage, preventing equipment from being permanently impaired, improving energy effi ciency and reducing fi nancial loss.
With the average UK system losing around 60% of its gas
before anyone notices, detection systems are vital to prevent occupants from harm.
