Use of new CO measuring equipment and CO fire detectors for improved fire monitoring in belt conveyor roads with large ventilation airflows

Objective

The early detection of CO from heatings and fire in belt roads in which large volumes of air circulate is a vital need for the safety of operations and the workforce; the incidence of fire in such circumstances has not been eliminated or even materially reduced over the last five years. A earlier research project had successfully produced a fire detection system - the ESCO PFG 1 which has been improved to the point where the early detection of fire in roads with airflows of up to 100 m3/sec is possible.
