Detection and alarm on the tower platform
Thread Content
The tower has leakage openings located on its steel grating platform; it deals with toxic and flammable gases that are heavier than air. Where should the detection and alarm devices for such gases be installed?
If it’s already known that there’s a leak, then what’s the point of installing an alarm? Just find a way to fix the leak, that’s all. Moreover, towers are usually located outdoors, and if the leakage is not severe, toxic gases will not accumulate, making it unsuitable to install alarm devices there. Personal opinion :)
I disagree. Alarms are installed just as a precaution. Don’t those devices function without any leaks in the first place? If that’s the case, then there’s no need to install alarms at all, right?
It can be omitted; its effect is minimal, for the same reason as 2l
Alarm devices are generally installed in relatively enclosed spaces, such as indoors, so that leaks can be detected promptly and the risk of explosion can be avoided. If it is in an open outdoor environment, it is not easy to detect, so it is basically ineffective.
There are also many gas detectors in the tank area, so I approve of it
