  • Mechanical Equipment Rooms Safety and Best Practices
    Mechanical Equipment Rooms Safety and Best Practices Because every life has a purpose... Mechanical Equipment Rooms Importance of monitoring refrigerant and combustible gases within Mechanical Rooms A building’s mechanical room is the hub of its heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. This can include central utility plants, boiler and chiller rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms and fuel rooms. The equipment within these rooms has the potential to leak harmful combustible or toxic gases, including costly and environmentally harmful refrigerant gases. Refrigerant gas is considered a toxic gas and although refrigerants have low toxicity, at high concentrations they can displace oxygen. Oxygen deficiency can cause serious injury or death to workers. Furthermore, these chemicals are controlled substances by the Environmental Protection Agency, which means not only are they dangerous to worker health and safety, but they are harmful to the environment. Many of these refrigerants are categorized as ozone depleting substances and are highly monitored. Gas monitors satisfy the requirements for equipment room emissions included in EPA regulations. In addition to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are specific requirements of ASHRAE standard 15 and applicable local building codes. ASHRAE 15 states: • Each machinery room shall contain a detector located where a refrigerant leak would concentrate. • The detector shall trigger an audible and visual alarm both inside and outside the mechanical room and activate mechanical ventilation. For economic reasons refrigerant leak detection is encouraged due to costs associated with refrigerant leaks. The Complete Solution The Chillgard® 5000 is the most selective and sensitive refrigerant leak detector on the market. With the ability to read down Sample line to 1 ppm, this monitor provides the earliest Relay wiring response to leaks.
