Oxygen (O2) Gas Detector

Oxygen (O2) gas detectors are used for or the detection of oxygen in rooms where changes of the oxygen concentration are possible, such as laboratories, hospitals and food process industries etc.

Alarm limits for decreasing concentration of gas is set to 18-19% Vol.

Other reasons why oxygen levels can fall are among others:

• Combustion of something which consumes oxygen
• Corrosion of something that reduces the oxygen concentration
• Oxygen consumption due to breathing in dense areas.

Problems usually arise in confined spaces such as tanks, tunnels, etc.

Oil- and gas industry

The normally closed spaces like tanks, containers, pontoons, etc..
corrosion may have contributed to making oxygen levels drop to low values.

A worker entering such an area may die immediately.

Therefore, it is important to first check the oxygen concentration in the compartment. In some cases, other gases may be present, both toxic and explosive. Therefore it may be necessary to use a portable instrument or VOC Gas type online monitoring sensor transmitter that measures several gases at the same time.

Before stepping into, for example, a tank you should check the oxygen concentration in the tank with a portable gas detector or VOC gas detector. Continue reading “Oxygen (O2) Gas Detector”

Methane (CH4) Gas Detector

Installation guidelines (FAQ) for Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas detectors in underground garages, parking houses and tunnels.

What are the mounting heights for CO gas detectors?

• Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas has a slightly lower density than air. Recommended mounting height for Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas detector is 1.5 m above the floor.
• According in garages are concentrations expected less 1%VOL and because of thermal an convection of gas the spreading is at whole area.

How many CO gas detectors are needed in a stationary installation?

• There may exist some consultants, some local regulations or some country regulations, however, there are no absolute rules in determining the number of gas detectors and gas detectors location.
  (EN50545 CO 400m²).
• The number of gas detectors are to be decided from case to case depending on the situation of the location you want to detect and monitor.
• There are recommendations-guidelines (rule of thumbs).

One gas detector per 400 m2 (Coverage Area: 465 m2 to
930 m2 “Ideal Conditions” assumed using New Gas-DO-300-D) (i.e. one CO gas detector per 400 m2), plus additional gas detectors at the locations where gas leakage is likely to occur, preferably no farther than 1.5 meter (Mount at a height of 1.5 – 1.8 m above floor) where gas leakage is likely to occur.

What are the measuring ppm ranges for pre-alarm and warning alarm for  CO gas detectors?

CO detectors alarm levels:

• Pre-alarm: 25 ppm.
• Warning alarm: 35 ppm.
• Fire alarm: 200 ppm

Measuring Range:0-300 ppm, Model no:GAS-CO-300-D

What is the gas sensor (cell) life time for CO gas detectors?

• CO gas sensor (cell) life expectancy is 6-10 years, normal operation environment.
• Fully sealed sensor cell, Gel type electrolyte not liquid type electrolyte with hydrophobic filter
• If gas sensor (cell) is intensively exposed for fumes (gas) the life time is shorter.
• If gas sensor (cell) is less exposed for fumes (gas) the life time can be longer.

Are the gas detectors needed to be re-calibrated?

• The CO gas detectors are pre-calibrated before delivery.
• The CO gas detectors are recommended to be re-calibrated on site or in-house once a year.

What to do when life time of gas sensor (cell) exceeded the expected life time ?

There are some different alternative choices, for examples:

• New gas sensor (cell) can be ordered with re-calibration of the new gas sensor (cell) on existing PCB on site. For this alternative, the re-calibration instructions are needed to be followed very carefully. Recommended to be done of trained technicians.
• Existing PCB can be returned to ALVI Group OR MSR and new sensor (cell) can be ordered.
• The existing PCB can be factory pre-calibrated with the new sensor (cell).
• New factory pre-calibrated gas sensor (cell) and PCB can be ordered.
• Then the installer easily replace the existing gas sensor (cell) and PCB with the new factory pre-calibrated gas sensor (cell) and pcb. This is the easiest way of all above examples.
• The exchangeable sensor transmitter cartridge is our new concept to re-look on the Gas sensor and we are pleased to introduce Our most popular, most miniaturized exchangeable Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor cartridge with cutting edge German Technology.

Early Fire Monitoring for Coal Stockpile / Coal Conveyor Belt Entries

CO – Spontaneous Combustion of Coal Fire Monitoring :- COAL BASED POWER PLANTS (coal handling, coal processing):

Background:
Coal based power stations are facing increased expenditure for the green house gas saving programmes and increased liability insurance premiums for fires/explosions. Each year millions of Dollars are wasted in coal handling plant fires / explosions in coal stock piles, coal conveyor belts. Further coal based power plants are facing growing need to increase productivity. While power stations do install outdated devices like temperature or smoke sensors for fire detection, but by the time smoke is generated and detected – it is already too late. It is now time for the power plant engineers to address the early fire detection issues by employing latest technologies in CO and CH4 monitoring for very early fire detection and explosion prevention.
More and more power plants, coal handling plants and coal preparation plants today are using carbon monoxide products of combustion / spontaneous combustion of coal sensors to detect very early smouldering fires or hot spots and methane detection to prevent explosions.
.Coal Fires in Power Plants:
Coal processing or coal handling plants suffer from fire risks due to spontaneous combustion of coal fires (self ignition) and conveyor belt fires (hot burning coal, over-heating due to damaged bearings, roller, belt slip etc)
Benefits of CO Monitoring:
The very early sign in coal handling/processing plant fire is liberation of gas radicals (CO predominant). The idea is to detect the presence of this CO gas radical for very early fire prevention. By the time smoke is generated and detected it is already too late. A typical CO monitoring system for detection of products of combustion fires or spontaneous combustion of coal fires can warn potential fire two days in advance then flame is present or detected. By installing an effective CO and CH4 monitoring system, coal based power stations can benefit in the following ways:

• Reduced insurance premiums
• Better safety to plant and personals
• Reduced down time
• Prevention of loss of resources
• Save time and money.

Why CO monitoring? :
Coal contains moisture which when liberated, coal gets oxidised, generating both heat and carbon monoxide. This heat when builds-up has the potential of creating spontaneous combustion of coal fires.
Coal is extremely friable and can be easily crumbled or pulverised. Further coal also generates coal dust needing extra preventive measures like proper maintenance of stockpiles, guarding against accumulations of coal in the fuel-handling system, compaction of stockpiles, cleaning spills and washing float dust. The most effective programme for fire-prevention would be to have Carbon Monoxide Monitoring and Control System
CO Monitoring Installation Aspects:
There will always be some safe background CO levels in coal handling or processing plants under normal operating conditions. These CO levels will rise during coal loading, handling and will again settle to normal levels once loading is finished and ventilation fans are running. It is important to find out the normal background CO levels by installing CO data-loggers and observing the CO generation trends under normal operating conditions of the plant. A typical CO level of 50 ppm of CO is normally present in background levels when coal is being handled, moved or transported. Based on these normal background CO levels the sizing/selection of the CO system (range etc) and alarm set points need to be undertaken.

Location of Sensors:
In general, it is wise practice to locate an adequate number of sensors at strategic locations based on knowledge of the potentials for ignition. When considering belt fires, sensors should be located in close proximity to drives, tail pieces, and main rollers.
When coal is the issue, any location where accumulation of coal dust or bulk quantities is likely or expected should be considered. These include belt transfers, crushers, dust collection systems, and storage bins (silos, bunkers, etc.).
System Approach:
A typical system may consist of number of CO (range: 0-300, 500 or upto 1000 ppm) and or CH4 (range: 0-100% LEL) gas sensor/transmitters installed remotely at strategic potentially risky areas. The 4-20 mA output coming from these sensor/transmitters can be connected to a multi-channel gas controller which can handle from 2 to upto 96 remote sensor/transmitters. When CO concentration levels rise beyond the set limit (say above 100 ppm, depending on safe background levels), the built in relay contacts will automatically generate audio-visual alarm for plant supervisor to take corrective measure (ventilation fans, mains shut-off etc).
