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.
