Protect lives and the environment from carbon monoxide exposure.
Gexcon's experts have a proven track record of examining the origins of carbon monoxide (CO) exposures, potentially linked to poor combustion in appliances such as furnaces, boilers, portable heaters, generators, and vehicles.
With our expertise, we excel in understanding carbon monoxide formation, migration, detection, exposure, and effective mitigation.
Notably, a Gexcon engineer plays a pivotal role as a principal member of the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 720 (Standard for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide Detection and Warning Equipment) technical committee.
Our engineers also bring expertise in the evaluation of carbon monoxide detectors according to UL 2034 (Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms), as well as the analysis of carbon monoxide uptake and sensor technologies used in these detectors.
Carbon monoxide experts ready to assist
Gexcon's experts have successfully pinpointed the origins of numerous carbon monoxide leaks, originating from various factors including equipment damage, design flaws, improper installation, and even natural occurrences such as animals nesting in vent pipes.
Equipped with portable combustion gas analysers and detectors, our engineers possess the capability to assess and quantify carbon monoxide emissions and their movement.
Furthermore, we leverage advanced tools, such as the CFD model FLACS, to analyse carbon monoxide emissions and their subsequent dispersion within a variety of structures, including residential, commercial, and industrial facilities.
Utilising CFD calculation in carbon monoxide dispersion analysis allows a more realistic representation of the release and dispersion scenarios.
This leads to a more precise understanding of potential hazards and a more efficient deployment of mitigation techniques, including the optimisation of detector placement.
