CO2 MONITORING SYSTEMS
The MVE CO2 Safety System continuously monitors CO2 concentration in specific room locations. It is designed to detect increases in CO2 gas concentration. Carbon Dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas, which normally comprises .04% of the air we breathe. However, CO2 gas does not support life and in concentrations above 3% has suffocating effects causing symptoms such as headache, sweating, rapid breathing, increased heart rate, shortness of breath or dizziness. Air having CO2 concentrations higher than 5% can cause unconciousness or death within a few minutes. CO2 gas is heavier than air, so high concentrations will be found in lower spaces or confined areas or in basements posing a risk of suffocation to anyone in those areas.
