[Nhcoll-l] [EXT]Re: [EXTERN] ethanol monitor for storage area

Becky,

We've had these sensors for our 29 ethanol-preserved collection rooms for 28 years and they work great, with wired connection to our Security system.
Of course, the models will now be different (http://www.qelsafety.com/products/sensors/); worth checking.

Cheers,

Jean-Marc

Hi Becky,

there are a couple of industry grade detectors for alcohol fumes that could create combustible atmospheres and send of an alarm. Usually, these integrated/linked of the climate control systems, which then, for example, could increase the air exchange rates in the respective storage area (search for "alcohol fixed gas detection systems").

There are also portable devices, e.g. from Draeger

Hope this helps

Cheers,

Hello all;

We are looking for an ethanol monitor for leaks in our depot.  Does anyone have a recommendation? Something that could be tied in with a security system, maybe? Thank you in advance.
