Carbon Monoxide Meter

Carbon monoxide the silent killer can become less of a threat to personal safety, if things go wrong in homes, offices and residential properties on the development of a new detection system.

Flowtech Controls Ltd, Whitchurch, Shropshire, part of Group Peerless Gas Controls, set the wireless market Flowtech CO Protection System (COPS) to detect and cut carbon monoxide leaks.

The company has already appointed four distributors, Navy ship gas protection systems, with products Leisure Bolton Eurodeal Products, Birmingham-based heating and plumbing in Dublin, International Marketing and Emmrow Magneflo is in Solihull housing associations and local government sectors.

The cops detectors are located around the property to provide visual and audible alarms under normal conditions, but the system also send a wireless signal to a committee that controls a device closure. This closes the gas supply to avoid further accumulation of carbon monoxide or other combustible gases.

The valve can be reset for flowing gas until the danger was cleared and security restored. Its use is also tested by the entertainment industry in the installation of static holiday caravans, chalets, holiday homes and boats.

The installation of the valve control mechanism is a simple DIY job and does not require registration of a gas engineer.

The PSC has a sensor system manufactured by a specialist company in Japan and up to 40 sensors can be used by a control panel that makes it ideal for multi-occupancy premises and also virtually eliminate the risk of an explosion in the case a gas leak.

Simon Simpson, sales director of Flowtech Controls, said: "The system has been fully approved by the competent authorities. The gas valve can be deactivated in case of emergency, and the mechanical control valve can easily be adapted to interact with the lever of the gas meter is turned off by what might be described as "an artificial hand.

Simon said: "We have also developed a smoke detector to go with him and if there is fire on the property of the gas is automatically cut is a real benefit for firefighters."

"This is a combination development work in the United Kingdom by Flowtech Controls, Peerless operation in Shanghai, a Japanese manufacturer of sensors and Australian electronics company Tytronics. All intellectual property rights have been registered. "

He said trading standards authorities found more products to come to the United Kingdom from China who did not have the right sensors and failed to comply with European standard EN50291 although they may be badged the claim is compliance.

"The first major market in the scheme will be the residential environment," said Simon. " Currently there is a dependency of a visual and audible alarm, and in some cases can not be physically able to turn off the gas supply or know how to turn it off. The system checks Flowtech he died for them and prevent further accumulation of gas. This system has tremendous potential PSC. "

For the protection of housing there is a wired system and a wireless system, both with a choice between a valve pulse valve or a mechanical control to cut the gas supply. Both systems are approved to EN50291 EN50194 carbon monoxide and fuel gas standards.
