infrared gas detection toxic gas leak detector combustible gas detection INFRARED GAS DETECTION Infrared Gas Detection Equipment: Began in the early 1970s when Acme was the first to adapt instrumentation-style equipment to the building market. Acme's infrared gas detection equipment is designed to control ventilation systems in buildings, most notably through carbon monoxide CO gas detection in underground parking garages. The infrared gas detection systems have three benefits: they provide air quality control; assure safety in environments where dangerous gases are present; and, conserve electricity because the ventilation equipment runs only when required. Other gases include: CO 2 for indoor air quality; diesel fumes detection for bus and truck terminals and unloading areas; Volatile Organic Compounds VOC for numerous industrial and office applications; R-123 refrigerant detection; and, O 2 deficiency detection.
