Crowcon ensures safe O2 and CO2 level detection

Crowcon's Cellarsafe O2 and CO2 gas detector and control system is being used to monitor the level of the two gases in artificial high altitude environments.

The enclosed endurance training chambers are designed to simulate depleted oxygen levels at high altitudes.

Generators filter O2 molecules out of the air feeding the chambers, resulting in concentrations of 14 per cent or even lower, depending on the settings, so the altitude can be simulated up to 6,000m.

The compact Cellarsafe is equipped with both O2 and CO2 sensors and constantly monitors the concentration of the two gasses in the chamber.

O2 and CO2 levels are transmitted to an adjacent control unit which adds or removes O2, depending on the demand, maintaining safe, constant levels.

The Cellarsafe gas detector also has many other applications.

It is most commonly used in wineries, breweries, food processing facilities and pub cellars to monitor and control CO2 levels.

The Cellarsafe not only continuously monitors CO2 and O2, but can also be connected with control systems to automatically turn on ventilation fans, trigger alarms or, as in this application, adjust O2 concentrations to within set parameters.

It has a clear, easy to read backlit display of gas readings, a bright LED warning light and a loud built-in alarm.

Ingress protected to IP65 against dust and water ingress, it can operate over a wide temperature range.
