Infrared Gas Detection
Infrared Gas Detection Equipment: Began in the early 1970s when Acme was the first to adapt instrumentation-style equipment to the building market. Acme's infrared gas detection equipment is designed to control ventilation systems in buildings, most notably through carbon monoxide CO gas detection in underground parking garages. The infrared gas detection systems have three benefits: they provide air quality control; assure safety in environments where dangerous gases are present; and, conserve electricity because the ventilation equipment runs only when required. Other gases include: CO 2 for indoor air quality; diesel fumes detection for bus and truck terminals and unloading areas; Volatile Organic Compounds VOC for numerous industrial and office applications; R-123 refrigerant detection; and, O 2 deficiency detection.

The DG-EN is usually installed in bus and truck terminals or maintenance facilities, package distribution warehouses and building loading docks where Diesel fumes pose a threat to indoor air quality. In order to protect the sensor from the Respirable Combustible Dust RCD present in Diesel fumes, Acme uses an air pump to draw the sample to the detection unit from the space, where it is filtered and passed to a solid-state infrared gas detection CO2 analyzer or an electrochemical NO2 analyzer. Both CO2 and NO2 are acceptable surrogates for the determination of overall Diesel pollution in the space, according to research done by the U.S. Bureau of Mines and CANMET.
