Compur Monitors: Phosgene indicator badge

Compur Monitors: Phosgene indicator badge. Everyone who enters the premises of a phosgene plant is given an indicator badge.

In case of an escape of phosgene, the essential question is whether any of the persons on the premises require medical assistance. This decision aid is important for doctors, because phosgene poisoning only causes symptoms after a so-called latency phase.

Under no circumstances can the symptoms be the sole criterion for the type of treatment. The results of recent studies from the USA show that up to now the toxicity of phosgene has been overestimated.

This was disadvantageous to the health of staff, as the majority of cases were over-treated. It is now considered as established that below 50 ppm* min, treatment causes more damage than it prevents.

Therefore a badge was required which only starts to change colour above 10 ppm* min.

DEHNventil ACI M: Standard-compliant Surge Protection in Industry

High demands are placed on the availability of switchgear in, for example, industrial plants, data centres, hospitals and large administrative buildings. This makes surge protection essential. At the same time, replacement of the surge protection module should not influence system availability. The new DEHNventil ACI M TNS 264 FM has no backup fuse and is flexible in terms of its application. In the event of a fault, the protection module is safely disconnected and can be quickly removed from the base part from either side or the front. The touch-safe design allows the protection module to be replaced without system downtime. The ACI technology employed also enables connection cross-sections of just 16 mm2. This facilitates installation and saves time.
