Gas Detection for Refrigeration Systems
Refrigeration monitoring provides early detection in the event of a leak and can help prevent significant loss of refrigerant and decrease energy costs.
If a leak occurs, a fixed gas detection system permanently installed near the chiller equipment in an area where a refrigerant leak is most likely to concentrate will ensure people will be alerted and kept safe.
In partnership with Critical Environment Technologies (Canada), Kenelec Scientific offers a wide range of hazardous gas detection systems designed to monitor Refrigerants, Ammonia (NH3) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) for mechanical equipment rooms, cold storage, chiller rooms varying in size, height and layout.
Key considerations to monitor gas for refrigeration systems:
- A life safety system with Ammonia gas detectors mounted above the potential leak area; Refrigerants and CO2 are mounted 25 cm to 45 cm off the floor
- Each chiller requires its own dedicated gas detector to monitor for loss of ammonia or refrigerant by leakage
- Outside the chiller room should be a Controller with a strobe and manual shut off switch to meet code requirements
