CO monitoring in underground garages

Poisoning incidents caused by Carbon Monoxide in underground garages have let people pay more attention to CO monitoring.

Carbon monoxide is very harmful when inhaled, as it binds to hemoglobin to produce carboxyhemoglobin causing a lack of oxygen. Common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, fatigue and weakness. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can seriously damage the heart and central nervous system and even lead to death.

Carbon Monoxide in underground garage mainly comes from the car engine, when the engine idling operation, due to gasoline combustion is not sufficient, will produce a large number of CO containing exhaust. Underground parking lot is a closed environment, vehicles in and out very frequently, the exhaust emissions are not easy to discharge, it is very easy to accumulate a large number of CO gas, resulting pungent odor in parking lot, damage to human health.Therefore, underground garages, parking lots should be equipped with air supply and exhaust systems to replace fresh air.

There are two main purposes for installing an underground garage carbon monoxide concentration monitoring system:

1, For safety, regular exhaust to ensure that the carbon monoxide concentration in the garage is below the hazardous level.

2, For energy-saving, exhaust according to carbon monoxide concentration in the underground parking garage, to avoid the exhaust frequency is too high resulting in energy waste.

Carbon monoxide detection and alarm system for parking lots of different areas and the number of fire zones designed for gas detection equipment, through its core components - carbon monoxide sensors to comprehensively detect the concentration of carbon monoxide in the underground garage value. When the carbon monoxide concentration in the environment exceeds the preset alarm value, it can automatically alarm and start the emission system for air replacement.
