Gas Detection Made Easy

Leave a comment

As The Gas Detection Experts, Critical Environment Technologies (CET) want to make your life easier when it comes to figuring out what gas detection system you need for your project. Each project is different, even if it’s the same type of application.

Parking garages for example differ in size, placement of columns, walls and other obstacles, and entrances, exits and ventilation equipment vary in type and location. These variables impact how many sensors are required, where they need to be installed, whether zoning is required and the possible need for additional hardware like relays, analog outputs, power supplies, etc.

Gas Detectors Offer Safety, Comfort and Efficiency

Leave a comment

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.

CET to Discontinue LPT-A Analog and LPT-A-VLT Ammonia Vent Line Transmitters

Leave a comment

Critical Environment Technologies (CET) will discontinue the LPT-A Analog Transmitter and the LPT-A-VLT Ammonia Vent Line Transmitter.

CET is nearing the end of our LPT-A stock and are unable to replenish it due to the unavailability of key components, some of which are no longer being manufactured.  We are happy to announce that the Analog CGAS Detector launched in 2020, is a suitable alternative for the majority of applications.

The LPT-A came standard with a relay, internal buzzer and 4-20 mA or 0-10 volt output, plus accommodated 7 series sensors. The CGAS-A does not currently have an internal buzzer or 0-10 volt output and accommodates 4 series sensors. However, it offers enhanced features like:

Plug & Play Smart Sensor technology for quick and easy sensor replacement at end of life; smart sensors come from the factory pre-calibrated

  • Larger, brighter display
  • USB port for configuration changes and firmware upgrades
  • Optional relay (not available with sticky gases)

On September 1, 2022, CET will release the CGAS-A with an internal relay and buzzer, and 0-10 volt output and 7 series sensor capability which will all become standard features. With the addition of these features the CGAS-A will fulfill all applications of the LPT-A.
