GAMEWELL-FCI Takes Poisonous Gas Detection Seriously

Commercial Gas Detection Products for Multiple Applications Added to Portfolio

NORTHFORD, CT – Gamewell-FCI, part of Honeywell’s (NYSE:HON) Life Safety Group, announces the addition of a broad range of sophisticated multi-gas detection devices and controllers. The Vulcain-Commercial Series of gas monitoring devices for parking structures, mechanical-type rooms and occupied living spaces can operate as either stand-alone units or be networked to an installed base of fire alarms or building control systems. These new detection offerings represent an addition of 86 different devices to an already comprehensive product portfolio offered by Gamewell-FCI.

One portion of the Vulcain-Commercial Series consists of gas monitoring devices for enclosed parking structures and garages. These detectors can be installed to activate ventilation fans when common vehicle emissions such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide reach hazardous levels. Controlled fan run-time and temperature stabilization can lead to large reductions in maintenance and energy costs.

A building’s mechanical room is the hub of its HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system, making it important for gas detection systems to be installed within these types of rooms. Gamewell-FCI’s Vulcain-Commercial Series includes detectors designed to monitor for deadly refrigerants and explosive gases. Rooms containing boilers, chillers, electrical systems, fuel storage, as well as metering and communications closets, all present potential to leak hazardous gases, creating a critical need for these specialized gas monitoring devices.

Increasing numbers of workplaces and residential buildings are relying more heavily on air handling systems to provide adequate oxygen for all occupants. The potential for carbon dioxide build-up from human respiratory exhalation can have harmful consequences. To safeguard the health of those within these buildings, Gamewell-FCI now offers advanced infrared carbon dioxide detectors as part of the Vulcain-Commercial Series. Built for commercial or industrial applications, this detector line can be easily mounted to a wall or duct for superior airflow monitoring.
