♦ What is a Gas Leak Detection System?
A gas leak detection system is an integrated solution consisting of sensors, alarm devices, and monitoring software designed to promptly detect leaks of hazardous gases such as LPG, CH₄, CO, H₂S, NH₃, O₂, CO₂, etc., in production, storage, or residential areas. When gas concentrations exceed permissible thresholds, the system immediately triggers alarms using sound and light signals and sends notifications to the control center for timely response.
