Which refrigerant, charge and potential leak sources are involved?
Refrigeration application review
Refrigeration & Food Gas Detection
Define an ammonia or CO₂ warning strategy for machinery rooms, cold stores and occupied spaces, tied to a site-specific response.
The operating challenge
What must the system detect—and what should happen next?
Leak behavior, ventilation, temperature and occupied areas influence detector technology, range and placement.

Bring these questions to the design review.
Useful inputs reduce rework. If details are unknown, Q-Advisor can help record what still needs confirmation.
Are machinery rooms enclosed, and how do ventilation and temperature vary?
Is the priority early leak warning, personnel exposure, emergency ventilation or shutdown?
Which controller, alarm devices and refrigeration interfaces already exist?
Preliminary architecture
From measurement to a documented response.
Define whether the objective is early leak warning, personnel exposure, machinery-room protection, emergency shutdown or a combination.
Plan sensor access, functional tests, calibration, alarm verification and refrigerant-specific response procedures.

What Quantra can help define
A useful engineering conversation, not a product list.
- Separate machinery-room and personnel-protection objectives.
- Evaluate gas-specific sensor range and technology against temperature, humidity and ventilation.
- Verify alarm, ventilation and shutdown cause-and-effect with qualified specialists.
Technology reference
Examples to investigate after the design basis.
These are technical examples, not a final recommendation or a statement of distribution status. Verify gas configuration, range, environment, approval and availability with the manufacturer.
