Detectors keep wine cellars safe May 1st 2010 Tuscan winery, Selvapiana, is using
Crowcon's CellarSafe and Xgard
fixed CO2 gas detectors to protect
workers in its cellars. The units were
installed by Parsec S.r.l., which works
closely with Crowcon in the Italian
wine industry.
CO2 is a hazard throughout the
winemaking (and brewing)
process. In Selvapiana's
cellars, two CellarSafe CO2
detectors and one Xgard
CO2 detector are installed.
If CO2 concentrations
exceed a certain threshold,
extractor fans are
automatically triggered and
an 82dB alarm warns
workers to vacate the cellar
immediately. The Xgard detector is
linked to a Parsec SAEn5000 control
unit that constantly displays ambient
CO2 levels on a computer screen in
the control room. More articles from Crowcon Detection Instruments Ltd: |
