[labnetwork] Automated Emergency shutoff valve

[Vito Logiudice]

Hi Matthieu,

I don’t have experience with the valves you mention. However, I seem to vaguely recall that some some gas cabinet vendors do offer some sort of option for automatically shutting the cylinder valve itself in the event of a TGMS alarm. Hopefully someone on this forum will have more to add or perhaps you can discuss this possibility with your gas cabinet vendor(s) if you haven’t already done so.

Best,
Vito

Subject: [labnetwork] Automated Emergency shutoff valve

Collegues,

Our facilites dept. is reviewing our operations before a « used-to-be-not-so-major » renovation. They are flirting with this idea of installing Emergency Gas Cylinder Valve shutoff like sold by the following company: http://www.halogenvalve.com/
These valves would be hooked up to our TGMS.

Any of you has such an installation ? Anyone could comment ?

Thanks
