Gas detection for garages

Underground garages and enclosed car parks are an integral part of daily life in large cities, and modern vehicles are powered by various types of fuel. Therefore, car parks and underground garages must also consider the latest developments in supporting alternative fuels. A significant number of people use underground car parks, and at the same time, toxic emissions are released from incoming vehicles. Therefore, people must be protected from the risk of poisoning. The most important elements to monitor when measuring emissions are carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and soot (PM). To maintain a safe environment, garages should be equipped with forced ventilation and detection systems. According to the applicable standard "ČSN 73 6058 - Individual, Row, and Mass Garages," the concentration of carbon monoxide CO is monitored. If vehicles powered by alternative fuels are to be placed in underground garages, it is also necessary to ensure appropriate detection and ventilation systems. Exceeding the safe level of gas concentration is signalled acoustically and visually, and actuators can additionally take further measures to reduce or eliminate the hazard. All these elements help protect people from the danger of poisoning.
