Beer is brewed with wheat bud and malt as the main raw material, and hops, after liquid gelatinization and saccharization, and then through liquid fermentation. It has a low alcohol content and contains carbon dioxide, a variety of amino acids, vitamins, low molecular sugars, inorganic salts and various enzymes. Carbon dioxide and alcohol are produced in the fermentation process. The production workshop is relatively closed, and carbon dioxide is heavier than air and easy to accumulate in the storage room and confined space. Although our human body exhales carbon dioxide in daily breathing, it is caused by long-term exposure to low concentration of carbon dioxide or sudden exposure to high concentration of carbon dioxide. The former is mainly manifested as headache, dizziness, inconcentration, memory loss, etc. The latter is mainly manifested as cerebral hypoxia symptoms, can cause reflex respiratory arrest and sudden death.
General beer production workshops are well ventilated, but if the exhaust is not timely and a small amount of carbon dioxide leakage will still affect the safety of workshop production workers. Not only carbon dioxide gas, but some other gas combinations can also be hazardous to workers. Seven people were killed when workers at a brewery in a foreign country cleaned a storage tank of toxic fumes. There are similar things happening in China, which is undoubtedly a wake-up call for us.
To prevent this from happening, it is best to install carbon dioxide detectors and oxygen sensors in the workshop to measure the concentration of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Avoid low oxygen and high carbon dioxide concentrations. Hengko electrochemical oxygen sensor accurate measurement, fast response speed, range: -30%VOL, accuracy: ± 3%(F.S), repeatability: ≤2%, resolution: 1%VOL, response time ≤ 30 seconds.
Hengko carbon dioxide sensor by gas probe + housing+ sensor composition, highsensitivity, stable performance, can be used in air quality control system, fermentation process control, brewery, beverage factory, warehouse, factory workshop, agricultural greenhouse, etc.
Hengko gas detector explosion-proof housing assembly is made of stainless steel 316L material explosion-proof disc and stainless steel shell or aluminum housing, durable, explosion-proof, fire resistance, good explosion-proof performance, can be used in the harsh explosive gas environment.
When workers clean the storage tank, they should do a good job of protection while taking the gas detector to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide, and do not blindly enter the storage tank to do cleaning work. Constant song portable gas detector can continuously detect the concentration of a single gas, using pump sampling gas detection. Users can choose the right rod according to the different requirements of the environment, so that the measurement is more convenient. The display adopts a large OLED dot matrix display, which visually displays the concentration, range and current time of the gas being measured. Simple three-key operation mode, detailed information prompts, so that the operation is more concise and easy to understand.
In short, in the face of various potential dangers in production, we should take timely preventive measures to avoid the occurrence of "tragedy" and cause accidents.
