Gas Detection

Staying Safe and Compliant

At Electric Technics Ltd, we provide expert gas detection system design, installation, and maintenance for commercial and industrial settings. Whether you're looking to safeguard your staff from toxic exposure or prevent environmental damage from gas leaks, we bring over 25 years of hands-on experience to every project.

Gas Detection

What is Gas Detection?

Gas detection systems are critical within environments where harmful gases may be present. They are used to:

Detect toxic, flammable, or asphyxiant gases.
Monitor for leaks in refrigeration or production equipment.
Trigger alarms or safety systems in hazardous conditions.
Ensure ongoing compliance with safety legislation.

In industrial environments, life protection is the top priority. A reliable gas detection system can identify dangerous levels of gas before they pose a serious health risk or lead to catastrophic events.

Types Of Gases We Monitor

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and Refrigerants

HFCs, along with older refrigerants like CFCs and HCFCs, are widely used in cooling systems across various industries. While HFCs have replaced the older ozone-depleting substances, they remain potent greenhouse gases and are currently under global phase-down efforts.

We provide gas detection solutions for all common refrigerant blends, including R-400 and R-500 series, ensuring early leak detection and safe, environmentally responsible operation of your systems.

Types Of Gases We Monitor

Ammonia (NH₃)

Ammonia is a powerful industrial refrigerant (R717) used in sectors such as:

Food and beverage.
Pharmaceuticals.
Petrochemical and fertilizer production.
Power generation.

While efficient and environmentally friendly, ammonia is both highly toxic and flammable. Accidental releases can result in serious injury or death, making gas detection systems not just recommended, but essential.

Types Of Gases We Monitor

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)

Carbon dioxide is commonly used in food refrigeration and storage. While not classified as toxic, it is an asphyxiant gas, and high concentrations can lead to suffocation. Exposure to levels above 1% can cause drowsiness, and above 7% can rapidly result in unconsciousness.

Proper monitoring of CO₂ levels is vital in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas where CO₂ build-up is possible.

Gas Detection

Tailored & Expert Solutions.

Gas detection is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Choosing the correct gas detection system requires a deep understanding of:

Sensor types and technologies.
Sensor placement and environmental conditions.
Response times and alarm thresholds.
Integration with ventilation and building safety systems.

At Electric Technics Ltd, we bring:

Over 25 years of gas detection experience
Knowledge of BS and EN safety standards
A proven track record across sectors, including healthcare, cold storage, manufacturing, and energy.

From initial site survey to installation and aftercare, our gas detection team ensures your system is fit for purpose and fully compliant with all current health and safety legislation.
