Gas Detectors Offer Safety, Comfort and Efficiency

In a recent blog post, Critical Environment Technologies (CET) explains how gas detectors play a crucial role in building automation and control systems.  These systems provide real-time data on a range of factors that impact the safety and comfort of building occupants.

According to a report by Spherical Insights & Consulting, the global building automation and controls market is projected to reach USD $221 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate 11% (Globe Newswire, 2022). This growth is driven by a number of factors, including increased demand for energy efficiency, the need for improved security, and the growing trend towards smart buildings. 

One of the key benefits of building automation and control systems is the ability to monitor and control the indoor environment. This includes monitoring factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality, as well as the presence of harmful gases. Gas detection sensors are a crucial component of these systems, providing real-time data on the concentration of gases such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This data can be used to identify potential safety hazards and take corrective action to prevent illness or injury.

4 Questions 4: Scott Cyran

As AEB’s northeastern Ohio representative, Scott serves for current and future customers throughout the region. His daily activities include sales, consulting with contractors and engineers, researching and quoting projects, reading blueprints, completing take-offs, and maintaining contact with current and future customers.

As you can see, Scott keeps plenty busy. We caught up with him just long enough to get his answers to four quick questions.

Tell us a little about yourself. What is your background?

I grew up in Middleburg Heights, Ohio and am a graduate of Midpark High School and Baldwin Wallace University. I owned my own business for 17 years where I sold, installed, and serviced scoreboards, video boards and athletic equipment all over the state of Ohio. My wife Kristine and I have been married for 20 years and we have two dogs -Tibetan terriers named Peanut and Coconut.

Why did you decide to join AEB?

After meeting with Joe, I was extremely impressed with his knowledge, intelligence, and positive spirit. He quicky convinced me that working for AEB would be challenging yet fulfilling at the same time. I love to learn new things and am constantly curious.

What do you like best about working at AEB?

I really enjoy helping our customers solve problems with all our products. We offer a diverse range of products and I enjoy the challenge to find the best solutions for each project. I love meeting new people and forging relationships.

OK Last question. Can you share anything interesting about yourself? Any interesting hobbies or a brush with greatness?  

I’m extremely handy and can fix just about anything. I have a custom motorcycle that I love to ride. My wife and I love to travel and love the beach.

My hobbies include fishing and I’m a huge sports fan, baseball being my favorite, followed by football and basketball. I love going to see all the teams live.

Case Study

Stadium Parking Garage

When Major League Soccer (MSL) announced in 2015 that it would be expanding, cities across North America were making a pitch to secure a franchise. One critical stipulation was that any city under consideration must have a stadium dedicated to the sport. And so, when Cincinnati was awarded a franchise in May of 2018, the clock began ticking.

Since Cincinnati’s TQL Stadium opened its doors in 2021, it has rivaled many European League venues in terms of the soccer experience for fans and players alike. Because of its urban setting, a key element of the stadium is its three-level parking garage.

Danger in the Air
Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) are life-threatening health risks. And within enclosed structures, such as a parking garage, the threat is multiplied exponentially. Because air monitoring accuracy was non-negotiable Critical Environment Technologies (CET) was the only manufacturer considered for the project.

Design & Installation
AEB Technologies assisted Elevar, the building design engineering firm, in scoping out the project. To ensure optimal coverage and proper installation, AEB worked with all third parties, including the Siemens control contractor, to layout, install, integrate, calibrate, and test the controllers and sensors.

In all, 19 separate CO and NO2 sensors (a total of 38) were installed throughout the three-level garage with an FCS controller dedicated to each floor. Although the date for the opening match was quickly approaching, the project was completed with time to spare.

Saving Costs
In parking garages and similar structures, the alternative to air monitoring is to continually run large industrial fans. With flexible field configurations, CET’s gas detection systems provide continuous and reliable monitoring for elevated and harmful gas levels while generating significant energy savings over the long-haul.

CET systems monitor some of the most common gases including Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Nitric Oxide, Ammonia, Chlorine, Ozone, Combustible Gases like Methane and Propane, Oxygen, Refrigerants and more. CET’s systems, controllers, and transmitters (analog and digital) are installed in commercial HVAC, institutional, municipal, and industrial markets worldwide.

Every Step
AEB works with its clients to ensure the proper selection, layout, installation, training, and maintenance of monitoring equipment. We provide training and recalibration services to ensure accuracy and the on-going success of your project.

What’s New at ONICON

It has been a busy year for ONICON. Not only was its new Nautilus Flow loop completed, but they also recently completed updates to the 735-calibration flow loop which is used to calibrate our F-3500 and F-1000 series products. This update included replacing the two main pumps feeding the 735-power prover with a single end suction centrifugal pump that is controlled via variable frequency drive.

This upgrade allows ONICON the capability to ramp the pump speed up and down to a precise flow rate rather than using throttling valves. ONICON calibration technicians will gain efficiency with this automation and are no longer required to manually throttle valves to meet a flow rate.

Another huge accomplishment this year was implementing ISO/IEC:17025 for the SYS-40 and F-4600 calibration loop. The loop was certified earlier this year and all products on that line now have accredited calibration. ONICON continues to fine tune its controls program to improve efficiency of the calibration process, these improvements and upgrades will support pursuit of ISO-17025 on its F-3500 product line.
