FIRE AND GAS DETECTION SYSTEMS

Applications include both commercial and domestic. Safety is ensured by fixed mains powered gas detection systems which automatically isolate the gas supply in the event of a gas leak being detected.

Panther Gas Direct Ltd provides systems for;

Boiler rooms, Plant rooms & Work Shops

Gas detection is used to monitor for the accidental release of fuel gases including Natural gas and LPG. Toxic gases such as carbon monoxide a by-product of combustion, which is often caused by inefficient burning of fuels can also be detected.
The gas detection system would normally interface with the fuel supply and automatically shut down the combustion process on detection of flammable gases or toxic gases.

Laboratories and Design and Technology rooms

Laboratories in schools, colleges and other academic establishments such as research labs have a range of gases which must be monitored in case of a gas escape. Gas detection can provide automatic isolation of the hazardous gases and can also provide shut down in the event of ventilation system failure or inputs from the BMS system or fire alarm.
D&T rooms in schools and colleges often have gas detection systems fitted due to the increased risk of accidental gas escape. The gas detection system will automatically isolate the gas supply and the water supply if required. IGEM (Institute of Gas Engineers and Managers) recommend that a flammable gas detection system should be fitted with a CO detection system. (See IGEM/UP/11).

Garages, Mechanical Handling Equipment battery charging systems

Exhaust gas detection systems can be used to detect levels of poisonous gases in garages to control ventilation systems or to sound alarms in the event of high levels of gases being detected.
Mechanical Handling Equipment battery charging systems give off explosive gases when in use. Gas detection systems are used to monitor these gases to enable a shut down of the charging process in the event of a high level of gas being detected before a dangerous situation can occur.

Car Park CO Detection Systems

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is the main component of vehicle exhaust emissions. CO is toxic and a health risk to the general public or employees who in car parks. CO is also a hazard in below ground or enclosed road service tunnels used to deliver goods to shopping centres and engine test facilities etc.
CO levels can be monitored to regulate the mechanical ventilation to ensure that CO levels are within acceptable limits to reduce ventilation running costs whilst still maintaining safety.

Flame Detection Systems

Flame detection systems are used to detect fires were other detectors may not be suitable and are suitable for the detection of fires including hydro carbons, wood, natural gas etc.

Leak Detection Systems for Water, Hydrocarbons, Refrigerants and Chemicals

Leak detection systems can be used in operating theatres, control rooms, tele comms equipment, archives stores, libraries, luxury homes, computer facilities, plant rooms, fuel storage facilities etc. A leak can be detected and prompt action taken to avoid expensive loss of stored products and environmental damage being caused.
Things to know.
1. Area requiring coverage (comms room, tea point etc) if no drawings available room dimensions.
2. Raised or Solid Floor.
3. Location of pipework (if any) at high and low level.
3a. If pipeword is at high level is it covered by drip trays,
4. Is BMS (Building Maintenance System) interface required.
5. Potential location of the Control Panel.
6. Is there any possibility of the system being expanded in the future.

Multi Tenancy properties, Halls of residence and Student accommodations

There are two basic systems used depending on the number of occupied rooms.
1. A single system could be used for a small number of rooms to isolate the gas supply in the event that a gas leak is detected in any one of the occupied rooms.
2. Individual gas detection systems would normally be fitted into each individual flats, apartments, student cooking facilities etc. because of the inconvenience caused by a common gas isolation valve cutting of the gas to the intire property.

Swimming pool plant rooms

A chlorine gas detection system can provide early warning of a potentially dangerous situation, by sounding an alarm or interfacing with BMS systems, ventilation systems etc.

Pub cellars

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a hazard to health in cellars, breweries and many licenced premises. A concentration of more than 15% by volume can cause death but it is particullarly dangerous because it would not be detected by a person in the cellar. A single point gas detection system connected to a local sounder and beacon and a remote sounder and beacon can provide warning to staff to vacate an affected cellar or not to enter a dangerous environment.

Boat Gas Detection

A single gas detector for a small vessel or a multi detector system for a larger vessel can detect dangerous levels of LPG gas and automatically isolate the gas supply and provide early warning by sounder and beacon of a gas leak before a dangerous situation occurs.

Caravans and Mobile homes

A single gas detector can detect dangerous levels of LPG gas and automatically isolate the gas supply and provide early warning by sounder and beacon of a gas leak before a dangerous situation occurs.

Domestic installations e.g. gas cooker, gas fire etc

The installation of a gas isolation valve and gas detector can provide piece of mind to family and carers of elderly, infirm or at-risk persons. A gas leak from a gas hob, oven or gas fire can be made safe automatically before dangerously high levels of gas occur. The gas would not be re-instated until the manual gas isolation valve has been reset by a responsible person. This can be linked with a sounder and beacon to alert the user and carers that gas has been isolated.
