Tunnel gas monitoring systems offer several advantages over traditional manual monitoring methods, including:
1.Automated and continuous monitoring: The tunnel gas monitoring system can monitor the gas concentration in real time and continuously without human intervention. Traditional manual monitoring requires regular manual sampling, and the monitoring frequency is limited, making it easy to miss important data.
2.Instant Alerts and Responses: The monitoring system can immediately detect when gas concentrations exceed safe limits and trigger an alarm system. This helps to take swift action to prevent accidents. Manual monitoring, on the other hand, typically takes more time to obtain monitoring results and requires manual interpretation and decision-making.
3.High accuracy and reliability: Tunnel gas monitoring systems typically have high-precision sensors and instruments that can provide reliable data. Traditional manual monitoring is susceptible to human error and equipment variability.
4.Multi-parameter monitoring: The monitoring system can usually monitor a variety of gas parameters, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), oxygen concentration, etc. This allows for a comprehensive assessment of the gas condition within the tunnel, whereas manual monitoring may only be able to monitor a single gas.
5.Data logging and storage: Monitoring systems can record and store large amounts of monitoring data for subsequent analysis and reporting. Traditional manual monitoring requires manual data recording, which is prone to omissions or errors.
6.Reduced personnel risk: The use of monitoring systems can reduce the risk of personnel entering hazardous environments, especially in the presence of toxic gases or low oxygen. Manual monitoring requires the monitoring personnel to physically enter the tunnel, which is potentially dangerous.
7.Remote monitoring and control: Some tunnel gas monitoring systems have remote monitoring and control functions, which can be connected through the Internet or network to achieve remote data viewing and equipment control, which improves the flexibility and efficiency of monitoring.
In general, the tunnel gas monitoring system is significantly better than the traditional manual monitoring method in terms of safety, accuracy, convenience and efficiency, which helps to ensure the safety of tunnel work and traffic.
