Silowatch is a carbon monoxide detector designed for monitoring coal and biomass storage silos to detect early-stage combustion and prevent fire or explosion. The system extracts sample gases from the silo headspace and continuously measures CO levels with a detection limit of 2 ppm and a T90 response time of typically less than 45 seconds. It features automatic 2-point calibration, a 4 to 20 mA analog output for CO measurement, two relay outputs for alarms and system status, and an IP65/NEMA 4 sealed painted steel enclosure. The unit operates in ambient temperatures from 0 to 45 °C, extendable to -20 °C with a heater or to 50 °C with a vortex cooler. It complies with EN-50 081 and EN-50 082 for EMC and EN-61010-2 for electrical safety. The system measures 600 x 600 x 350 mm and weighs 53 kg. Optional features include oxygen measurement and Z-purge for hazardous areas.
Specifically designed for detection of early-stage fire risk in storage silos for coal and biomass fuels, Silo watch continuously monitors and quickly responds to sudden carbon monoxide (CO) build-up, allowing preventative action to be taken before a fire develops.
