What Is A Gas Interlock System?

A gas interlock system is a safety mechanism designed to shut off gas outlets if another essential piece of equipment isn’t operating correctly. These systems are commonly used in commercial kitchens, where they prevent gas from reaching gas appliances if the ventilation system has a fault. This prevents a dangerous build-up of carbon monoxide, keeping the atmosphere safe for everyone on site.

A well-maintained gas system is crucial in preventing gas fires and leaks, ensuring safety in both homes and businesses.

In HVAC plant rooms, gas interlocks provide extra safety by shutting off gas when triggered by fire alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, ventilation malfunctions, or power outages. This precaution helps prevent gas from intensifying hazardous situations, like fuelling a fire. Zoom 247 custom designs and instals gas interlock systems that integrate seamlessly with building components, including BMS (Building Management Systems), to boost the safety of your premises significantly.

Investing in a gas interlock system is a proactive step towards creating a safer, more secure working environment.

Safety and Compliance

Compliance with gas safety regulations is not just a legal requirement but a critical aspect of running a safe commercial kitchen. The UK government mandates the installation of gas interlock systems in commercial kitchens to mitigate health and safety risks. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to serious repercussions, including prosecution by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

Installation Process and Requirements

The installation of a gas interlock system involves several critical steps to ensure it operates effectively and complies with safety regulations:

  1. Inspection: Our experts begin with a thorough inspection of your premises to assess the required space and identify any potential issues with plumbing or wiring.
  2. Installation: We then proceed with the installation, which may include upgrading pipework, installing solenoid valves, and setting up carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide detectors or monitors, as well as air pressure switches or current sensors.
  3. Testing and Verification: Once installed, the system undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it functions correctly. This step is crucial for verifying that the system will respond appropriately in the event of a fault.
  4. Certification: Finally, we certify the gas interlock system, ensuring it meets all gas safety regulations. This certification is essential for legal compliance and provides peace of mind that your system is up to standard.

How Gas Interlock Systems Work

A gas interlock system is designed to enhance safety by shutting off gas outlets when another piece of equipment isn’t functioning properly. The primary purpose of these systems is to prevent the dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide, especially in the event of a ventilation malfunction or failure. By automatically cutting off the gas supply, the system ensures that any potential hazards are mitigated, maintaining a safe environment for everyone in the commercial kitchen.

Triggering and Response

When a gas interlock system is triggered, it acts swiftly to shut off the gas supply, preventing the accumulation of carbon monoxide. This automatic response is crucial for the safety of staff and customers. If your gas interlock system is activated, it is essential to call a qualified engineer to inspect the premises before restoring the gas supply. The engineer will review the system’s data to determine the cause of the shutdown and perform any necessary maintenance and repairs. This ensures that your property is safe and operational as quickly as possible, minimising downtime and maintaining safety standards.
