There are a number of considerations to take into account when installing gas sensors. The positioning of gas sensors should take into account the density of the gas to be detected. Gas sensors designed to detect gases that are heavier than air should be placed nearer to the ground. Gas sensors designed to detect gases that are lighter than air should be placed higher up near to the ceiling. Equal density gases can be best detected at eye level. (more…)

Guidelines for installing gas sensors
Friday, June 24th, 2011Chlorine Gas Detection
Monday, June 20th, 2011 There are a variety of hazardous gasses that are silent as they are deadly. Each year, instances of hazardous gas leaks lead to thousands of deaths preventable deaths in the workplace. And one of the most common types of hazardous gasses is chlorine. In its gas form, chlorine has yellow-green tinge and produces a strong, distinctive smell of bleach. It is commonly used in a number of industrial and consumer products, including a wide range of cleaning and disinfected products. (more…)
Gas Detection by Murco
Monday, June 20th, 2011 Gas detection is the procedure of identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by the means of various sensors. Once these sensors detect the presence of gas, an alarm is triggered, warning nearby people of the danger of being exposed to hazardous gasses. Murco has built a reputation for manufacturing high quality, fit for purpose fixed gas detectors that are compressively priced. We specialise in providing products and solutions for a wide variety of gases and applications, ensuring compliance with all relevant standards and regulations. (more…)
Hydrogen Gas Detection
Monday, June 20th, 2011 Gas is a hazardous, and sometimes lethal threat, that is as silent as it as deadly. That is why Murco Gas Detection Solutions has dedicated itself to producing high quality and fit for purpose gas detection sensors. Every year, hundreds of people in factories and plants around the world die from accidental leaks of hazardous gasses. One of the most common and most dangerous of these gasses is hydrogen, which is not only colourless, odourless, non-metallic and tasteless but highly combustible as well. As a result, sourcing and installing a high quality hydrogen gas detection system is paramount to ensuring the health and safety of your workers. (more…)

Murco launch a C02 Sensor robust enough to detect at extreme temperatures
Monday, November 15th, 2010 Accurately detecting C02 in refrigeration at extreme temperatures is now possible with Murco’s latest infrared sensor. The refrigeration market has welcomed Murco’s latest breakthrough in gas sensor technology.
Safety considerations regarding Gas Detection
Tuesday, September 7th, 2010 Safety and efficiency go hand in hand. Selecting an appropriate gas detection solution will not only maximise safety in your work area but also provide a more cost effective solution to monitoring air quality. Almost all industrial process involving organic and chemical compounds require continuous monitoring for various liquid and gas leaks. In some gases the depletion of required gases such as oxygen can also be detected. (more…)
Gas Detection – The Invisible Threat
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 Security Update: Today’s and tomorrow’s world is digitally joined up. Any system or service for the security monitoring of buildings and enclosed places of all kinds has to be integrated and comprehensive to compete in an ever more demanding and sophisticated market place. Dr. Lorcan Maher’s message to security companies is simple and blunt — embrace and include gas detection and all other risks capable of being monitored electronically or risk being overtaken by new and broader spectrum systems and services based on today’s smart building and facilities management systems.

Directive on Ozone Depleting Substances
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009 Far Reaching European Regulation Requiring Refrigerant Leak Detection Still Not Generally Known A high proportion of the users of refrigeration and air-conditioning in the UK, and Europe generally are still simply unaware of the wide-ranging implications of the European Community Regulation that became legally binding on 1 October 2000 – and the same could be said of a surprising number of people in the equipment and service sectors.” This was the challenging assertion by Dr Lorcan J. Maher, Managing Director of MURCO, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of advanced refrigerant leak detection equipment. (more…)
Next Generation Gas Sensors
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008 A breakthrough in carbon dioxide application calls for next generation Gas Sensors We have been using refrigeration and air conditioning technologies in a countless number of applications for decades now. Initially blissfully unaware of the CFCs these systems were releasing into the atmosphere, these destructive gases gnawed away at our ozone layer and contributed to widespread environmental damage. Ever since we eventually came to this realisation, industry research and development initiatives have been working towards developing safer and environmentally friendlier refrigeration technologies.
