Reliable Toxic & Combustible Gas Leak Detection
Gas detection requirements for power generation vary based on fuel source, which may be coal, oil, natural gas or nuclear. Generators often use hydrogen as a coolant to keep the turbines from overheating and may leak from the coolers, dryers or filters, creating a risk of fire or explosion. In lead acid battery rooms, hydrogen is produced by electrochemical batteries, as a byproduct of their chemical reactions. Leaked hydrogen may accumulate, creating a combustible hazard. Methane and carbon monoxide are produced when coal burns, and may accumulate in hazardous concentrations, requiring toxic gas and oxygen deficiency monitoring. Additional toxic gases may be produced as a byproduct of other processes. Safeguarding air quality with Rosemount™ gas monitoring and detection products help minimize health risks to personnel by detecting toxic and combustible gas leaks before they can lead to dangerous conditions.
