Hazard prevention

Maintaining, starting up or modifying boiler room installations is a sensitive operation because even the smallest leak can cause a fire or explosion. Early detection of problems prevents hazards and ensures that systems operate properly.

To test tightness, locate leaks or ensure personal protection, a rigorous methodology and reliable equipment are the two pillars of a serious inspection. Sauermann has effective and easy-to-use tools for detecting and locating leaks in installations.

Parameters to be monitored

  • Gas detection (leaks and PPE)

  • Pressure (network tightness)

NETWORK TIGHTNESS
The network leak test is a regulatory requirement in a lot of countries. Several laws often require this kind of check over combustible gas installations. The frequency of inspections depends on the type of installation and its use.
Any significant pressure variation within a system indicates a potential leak. A special gas differential pressure manometer gauge can therefore be used to measure pressure stability. Sauermann offers a wide range of devices that can perform this test, with different measuring ranges up to ±2000 mbar.

LEAK DETECTION
Wear on seals and connections, poor tightening or corrosion of the installation can cause leaks. An electronic detector quickly locates them so that the necessary measures can be taken to bring the installation into compliance.
When it comes to leak detection, Sauermann's Si-CD3 offers numerous advantages, such as ease of use and rapid detection. Its greatest strength is its high sensitivity, which is far superior to traditional soapy water methods. In the event of a fault, its audible and visual alarm alerts you immediately.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
During work in boiler rooms, operators may be exposed to explosive compounds (CH4, H2S) or toxic gases (CO), and may even risk oxygen deficiency (O2). For their safety, it is essential that they wear personal protective equipment (PPE).
Within the range of PPE, operators can rely on gas detectors to ensure their safety. Whether single or multi-gas, Kimo detectors monitor threshold exceedances in confined spaces, ensuring that every technician is alerted for risks in real time.

    How does CO dilution work and why is it useful?

    Some combustion gas analysers include a carbon monoxide (CO) dilution function, especially if they’re designed for use with high-powered systems. This function provides vital protection against the potentially harmful gases emitted by powerful or poorly configured heat-generating machines. Here, we take a deep dive into the what, why and how of CO dilution.
