In modern buildings, risers and ducts carry large amounts of refrigerant pipework serving multiple floors and rooms. If a leak occurs, gas can build up in the enclosed space to levels that could pose a threat to health and safety.

Installing a fixed point refrigerant gas leak detection system will monitor for potential leaks continuously and can give audible/visual alarm as well as the ability to connect to a BMS if available.

Sensors are positioned at the base of a riser as refrigerant gas is heavier than air. Sensors can be stand-alone or multiple sensors can be linked to master panels for central monitoring.
