Portable Gas Detection (Multi-Gas)
Portable Multi-Gas Monitors
Johnson Controls holds both Crowcon and Tyco stock and can supply multi-gas monitors, for personal use and portable safety applications, providing protection against a wide range of industrial gas hazards.
Portable Multi-Gas Alarm Systems - Safeguarding Lives and Property
In environments where hazardous gases are present, ensuring the safety of both personnel and property is paramount. Portable multi-gas alarm systems are essential in these areas, offering real-time monitoring and early warning against potential threats.
The UK hosts a diverse range of industries, from manufacturing plants to laboratories, where the presence of gases such as carbon monoxide, methane, hydrogen sulphide, and others pose serious risks to health and safety. In these environments, a single gas alarm system might not suffice, given the multitude of gases that could be present. Hence the importance of a multi-gas system.
A Comprehensive Gas Detection System
Multi-gas alarm systems are designed to detect a variety of gases simultaneously, providing comprehensive protection in diverse settings. Whether it’s a confined space in a factory, a construction site, or a laboratory, these portable devices continuously monitor the air for any signs of danger.
Early detection is crucial. By offering real-time monitoring, they immediately alert personnel to the presence of harmful gases long before they reach dangerous levels. This early warning ensures operators can take prompt action, preventing potential accidents, injuries, or even fatalities.
Compliance With Regulations
In the UK, stringent regulations govern workplace safety, particularly in industries where hazardous gases are prevalent. Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment for their employees, which includes implementing adequate gas detection measures. Portable multi-gas alarm systems not only help businesses comply with regulatory standards, but also demonstrate a commitment to prioritising the well-being of their workforce.
Enhanced Mobility and Flexibility
Unlike fixed gas alarm systems, which are limited to specific locations, portable multi-gas alarms offer enhanced mobility and flexibility. They can be easily carried around by personnel, allowing for continuous monitoring regardless of location. Whether it’s conducting routine inspections, responding to emergencies, or navigating through confined spaces, these portable devices ensure that safety is never compromised.
Integration With Gas Suppression Systems
In addition to detecting gases, portable multi-gas alarm systems play a crucial role in complementing gas suppression systems. In the event of a fire, gaseous fire suppression systems are activated to extinguish the flames by releasing suppressant agents such as carbon dioxide or clean agents like FM-200. However, before these systems can be deployed safely, it is essential to ensure that the area is free from any hazardous gases that could react with the suppressants or pose a threat to personnel. Portable multi-gas alarm systems provide this vital assurance, allowing for the effective and safe operation of gas suppression systems when needed most.
At Johnson Controls, we supply both Crowcon and Tyco, market leaders in multi-gas alarm systems and gaseous fire suppression. You can contact us to discuss your requirements using the form at the bottom of the page or learn more about our gas suppression technology and control panels here.
