Gas Detection
Regular maintenance of a gas detection system in a parking garage is vital for ensuring safety. This system, responsible for operating ventilation fans, plays a crucial role in monitoring harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) commonly found in vehicle exhaust. Upon detecting elevated gas levels, the system promptly triggers ventilation fans to disperse the gas, thereby preserving a safe environment for occupants.
Periodic Callibration
What is typically involved?
System Checks and Maintenance
Cleaning and Physical Inspection
Sensor Calibration
The sensors that detect gas levels need to be calibrated regularly to ensure accuracy. This involves adjusting the sensors to a known gas concentration and ensuring they read correctly.
​
Sensor Functionality Test
Testing each sensor to ensure it responds correctly to the presence of gas. This may involve using test gases to simulate conditions.
Alarm and Response Function
Testing
Verifying that the system alarms (audible and/or visual) activate properly at set gas concentration levels and that the
response, such as the activation of ventilation fans, occurs as intended.
Battery and Power Supply Check
If the system has a backup power supply or
batteries, these should be checked for proper operation and replaced if
necessary.
Fan Operation
Testing the fans connected to the system to ensure they activate properly and are in good working condition.
Control Panel Inspection
Checking the control panel for any error messages or malfunction indicators, and ensuring all connections are secure.
Sensor Cleaning:
Cleaning the sensors as per manufacturer specifications, as dirt
and dust accumulation can affect their sensitivity and accuracy.
Physical Inspection:
Inspecting all components for signs of damage, wear, or corrosion, particularly in the harsh environment of a parking garage.
Wiring and Connections:
Checking all wiring and connections for signs of damage or wear.
