CO2Meter Expands Multigas Safety System With Oxygen Sensing Solutions

Overall, fatalities due to oxygen deficiency are a relatively common occurrence in process industries, refining, manufacturing, and medical industries. Cryogenic liquids also have huge expansion ratios, so a large gas cloud from a small amount of cryogenic liquid is common. For example, liquid nitrogen will expand 696 times as it vaporizes. This further demonstrates why gas safety is so important and why a gas safety system is critical to mitigate hazards and ensure personnel safety.

While monitoring oxygen levels at low temperatures is an important addition to the multigas safety system, it is not the only feature. The sensor will also include ease of integration and expand industry use by allowing up to 12 easily addressable sensors on one main central display. In addition, this sensor is virtually maintenance-free with its unique oxygen capabilities, delivering a competitive 10-year life expectancy.

“The last few years have really allowed us to identify an opportunity to expand our product line, which provides a solution for almost every customer and application that requests gas safety monitoring. Multiple sensor points, variable alarm settings, field upgradability, and much more have all been built into this one system. We are excited to see the multigas safety system gain continued recognition and further cement CO2Meter as a true leader in the gas safety space,” says Josh Pringle, CO2Meter executive vice president.

(CO2Meter: Ormond Beach, FL) — CO2Meter, a leading manufacturer in gas detection technologies, has introduced a new multigas safety system oxygen sensor—an important addition to CO2Meter’s full line of multigas safety systems. With the new oxygen sensor, individuals gain continuous monitoring of oxygen levels across a wide variety of applications, including cryogenic facilities, hospitals, food processing plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing operations, laboratories, and cold storage facilities.

In launching this newest oxygen sensing addition to a reputable multigas safety system line, CO2Meter hopes to further meet the continuing needs of its customers.

Lenander says, “There are literally hundreds of situations where workers, and even the public, can be exposed to oxygen deficient conditions. Some of these are potentially fatal. Beyond the obvious permit required or regular confined-space applications, working every day in areas with hazards can produce dangerously low levels of oxygen. The team at CO2Meter is proud to be able to provide trusted fixed gas safety systems that not only protect individuals but also ensure code compliance by meeting OSHA’s confined space requirements.”

The sensor can also exceed rigorous temperature requirements. The design uses zirconia-sensing technology that ensures greater longevity and operating temperatures of -50°C across a multitude of environments. In addition, the sensor provides customers with the ability to ensure a safe workspace while monitoring facilities for inert gases, including nitrogen, helium, and argon.

The zirconia oxide sensor in the gas safety system line offers additional benefits beyond its cold operating temperature capabilities. The sensor is an accurate, long-life solution that ensures no false alarms and no cross-sensitivity to other gases. This means a single alarm can be used when working with storage cylinders of nitrogen, argon, ammonia, chlorine, propane, nitrous oxide, helium, argon, and many other gases. Because oxygen deficiency in enclosed areas is a “silent killer,” providing low-oxygen technologies such as the addition of the gas safety system oxygen sensor contributes to this market and protects lives.
