How Gas Monitors Detect Equipment Malfunctions
The consistent and accurate monitoring of gas levels in places of work and domestic environments is of vital importance. Although there is a common perception that the need for gas monitors is limited to the mining industry and certain industries involved with the manufacture of hazardous chemicals, in reality the need for effective gas monitoring systems extends to a kaleidoscope of other applications such as refrigerant gas used in cooling rooms, carbon monoxide levels in car parks and LP gas levels in everyday domestic applications like cooking or heating.
In a modern society where science and technology has afforded us with countless benefits, it is clear that many of these technologies rely on artificially manufactured chemical compounds or rarely occurring natural chemical compounds to function effectively. However when you consider the delicate atmospheric balance that humans need for survival – consisting of roughly 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.9% Argon and 0.04% Carbon Dioxide – the dangers associated with affecting this balance through artificial chemicals which pervade everyday life are clear.
The improper use or malfunction of equipment or machinery such as refrigeration systems, internal combustion engines and liquefied petroleum gas appliances can alter the gas compositions in its immediate or greater surroundings – resulting in potentially poisonous and lethal atmospheric conditions for humans. This clearly underlines the immense importance of gas monitors. Health and safety regulations regarding gas monitoring have been in place for a long time but in the past these were often overlooked because of the often invisible nature of a gas leak and in some cases just because of blatant disregard for staff, the environment and for legal compliance.
With the ever expanding domestic and industrial sectors leading to an increase in usage and production of potentially harmful gases, authorities have been forced to implement legislation to impose compulsory installation of gas detection systems and regular testing of gas monitors. The world wide standard for mechanical refrigerating systems for cooling and heating is the ISO 5149 and includes various guidelines on refrigerant leakage prevention and detection. However the importance of gas monitoring extends beyond its safety features as it can have a significant commercial benefit in terms of cutting costs. Studies have shown that 70% of refrigerants ever manufactured have been used in refrigeration top up due to leakages. Additional electricity usage also contributes to overall cost as refrigeration and heating systems work harder to maintain the desired temperature when refrigerant levels are not at the required level.
Another factor addressed by proper gas detection is the damaging effects refrigerants have on the environment. Although CFC’s have been phased out and replaced by less damaging substitutes, most still possess properties that can contribute to the green house effect when released into the atmosphere. It is imperative to be familiar with the gas detection regulations and legislation pertaining to your country or district.
By complying with these regulations and installing the relevant gas monitors for your particular application, you will be cutting on costs, ensuring employee safety and doing your part to preserve our environment.
