Individual ventilation concepts are implemented with different control programs. The integrated switch-on and switch-off delays prevent the ventilation from being switched on prematurely in the event of a short-term local increase in CO concentration (petrol vehicles) or NO2 / NO (diesel vehicles). The CO/NO2 measurement is as good as its measuring principle. The KIMESSA CO/NO2 gas measuring transmitters are equipped with a selective electrochemical measuring element. This guarantees a selective and optimal measurement, the ventilation switches on in compliance with the required safety and prevents false flue gas alarms.
Typical gases and vapors produced are, for example:: H2S, CH4, CO, O2, xylene, alcohol, toluene.
In the hazardous materials storage industry, the use of a gas warning system is crucial to ensure the safety of employees, facilities and the environment.
