Refrigerant gas detection

Used to maintain low temperatures in certain areas, refrigerant gases can harm both the environment and human health. Among these, ammonia (NH3) and freon (HCFC or CFC) often float above air and sometimes emit odors that prove difficult to detect. Monitoring these gases in the air prevents fainting and respiratory injuries. Detekta Solutions carries gas detectors suitable for commercial refrigerators, arenas, and similar environments.

Mechanical rooms

Mechanical rooms often feature confined conditions with poor air circulation. Machinery may release CO, propane, fuel oil vapors, or other fumes from chemicals in oils or gases. In heating systems, a gas leak can spread throughout the building, putting occupants at risk of asphyxiation. Gas detectors from Detekta Solutions help maintain air quality both inside mechanical rooms and within the connected external system.

Refrigeration

Refrigerated warehouses and arenas cannot rely on simple ventilation to maintain safety. Freon-based cooling system leaks can cause damage on a level similar to carbon monoxide released by vehicles. Serious health effects, including reduced cognitive abilities, respiratory difficulties, and even death, may result from exposure to ammonia and CO2. Installing CO2 or ammonia detectors in these often confined or enclosed spaces helps prevent gas accumulation and ensures compliance with regulations from the MDDEFP, MTQ, MAPAQ, CSST, and MSP.

Food processing

Monitoring ambient gases that could come into contact with food plays a crucial role in identifying potential hazards in food processing. Gas detectors reduce the risk of cross-contamination from outside air or leaks from refrigeration systems. According to Health Canada, gases used in modified atmosphere packaging can affect both the quality and shelf life of products. Detekta Solutions offers a wide range of products that protect workers while also safeguarding consumers of processed foods.
