For inaccessible the formation of dangerous layers occurs at ground high-level locations, GDS pump aspirated sensors level. These gases tend to behave like water and will located at chest height, having fixed sample lines to the run down gradients and pool at the lowest point.
It is expected that the sensor be gas checked at the controller GDS Sample Systems are designed to monitor for sample line by allowing test gas to be drawn directly from a gas bag until a blockages but are not able to detect any change in the porosity maximum gas value read-out is obtained.
