Ex Gas Detector

In areas with the risk of inflammable and toxic gases as well as the risk of explosion and fire, fire-resistant or explosion-proof fire alarms and extinguishing equipment must be used! If people are working in a high-risk workplace, they should make sure of the equipment available in that place, so that if anything happens, they will be informed quickly and have time to leave the accident site.

One of the components of the fire extinguishing system is the gas detector, which, in the event of the presence of any poisonous or flammable gases and the possibility of a fire, sends signals to the central panel to notify the attendees of the danger so that they can leave the place immediately and prevent the disaster. But if the gas detector resistant to gas or fire is not available, it may be disrupted at the very beginning of a danger and completely out of reach! That will definitely not lead to good results.

Oggioni S.A.S. is a manufacturer of explosion-proof and intrinsically safe gas detectors. Ex gas detector are suitable for use in areas with a high risk of explosion or ignition, the presence of poisonous and incendiary gases, spaces contaminated with chemicals and dust, areas with high temperatures, and environments where the risk of explosion or ignition is very high or low to prevent any dangerous occurrence and send necessary warnings to the people in the workplace. The gas detector made by Oggioni Company has a stainless-steel body with an IP 66 standard, which means it is protected against any gases, toxic and flammable, moisture, heat, fire, and explosions.

The Sieshop.de website is the official representative of Oggioni in Germany and Europe. You can buy products such as gas detectors, flame detectors, smoke detectors, fire detection systems, etc. online through this website.

Areas where a gas detector should be used

Nowadays, in most industrial places, various types of flammable gases are used to produce power and energy. The leakage of these gases in places may cause irreparable risks to people and may even lead to death in that area.

Gases in the air can be controlled up to a very small amount by relying on the sense of smell, but this calculation can only be done for very small places and close to the leakage site with a very high error, and in most cases, the attendees may not notice this issue. This is because all gases have different concentrations at different pressures and may quickly lead to explosions or damage to people.

But as you know, nowadays there is a solution for every problem. Equipping the place with a Ex gas detector is our solution to this problem, the gas detector can be used both in the home and in the industrial sector, and with its help, you can quickly notice a gas leak. The most commonly used gas detectors in the city are in the engine room, heating room, and kitchen. The gas detector is also very effective in various industries such as cold stores, parking lots and tunnels, chemical industries and laboratories, power generation centers, etc., because, in addition to saving human lives, it also saves billions of capitals from the risk of destruction.

How the ex gas detector works

Gas detectors ” Gasmelder ” use a sensor to measure the concentration of certain gases in the atmosphere. This sensor acts as a reference point and scale and produces a measurable electric current when a chemical reaction occurs due to a specific gas. When the gas approaches a dangerous value, the sensor monitors these flows and alerts the user or the central panel.

In other words, it can be said that a detector with its various sensors (such as “infrared”) can detect various types of ultrasonic, electrochemical, or semiconductor waves, excessive concentration of different gases in a given place. Of course, it should be noted that these sensors measure the gas concentration based on a predetermined scale and compare the gas concentration in the ambient air with that value. As we said before, if the gas concentration in the environment exceeds the set limit, the gas detector will sound the alarm, and when the gas concentration reaches the normal level, the detector will automatically turn off for a few minutes, and then the monitoring mode returns to normal.

Features and characteristics of ex gas detector

• The possibility of connecting addressable fire alarm system equipment
• The possibility of connecting conventional fire alarm system equipment
• Some detectors can also be used to control fire extinguishing systems
• The possibility of displaying the amount of toxic and explosive gases online on the control panel (in terms of LEL or PPM)
• It is possible to connect some gas systems to DCS, SCADA, ESD, DCS, PLC, etc. systems through standard communication protocols such as Modbus
• Programming control panels and writing complex logic and control functions
