Carbon monoxide is toxic in that it reacts with haemoglobin in the blood and thus prevents absorption of oxygen by the bloodstream.

Carbon dioxide is not toxic but is dangerous in higher concentrations as an asphyxiant.

It also makes my drinks fizzy.

There have been several documented fatalities caused by discharging a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher in a confined space including computer server rooms. The carbon dioxide purges the oxygen to put out a fire.

i thought computer rooms used argon. as it dipletes o2 in the air therefore distinguishing a fire:rolleyes: not freezes the knuts of the operators.:)
 
Carbon dioxide is often used as it is heavier than air and fills a room from the bottom up.

Argon would have the same effect in a confined space but you are referring to an automated system and there will not normally be anyone present.
 
replaced the gasket today, boiler lovely. room co level is zero, flue CO levels 80ppm - 0.0004, flue CO2 levels at 11%.
thread just beginning to get interesting !!

CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is not flammable, it's used in fire extinguishers and it's dry form is "Dry Ice", CO (Carbon Monoxide) at 12.5% becomes explosive according to this site: Gas Information : Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Flammable Gas, Oxygen, F-Gas systems & Refrigeration Gas : Safety Gas Detection

Can anyone reccomend a good gas/CO monitor/alarm? Nothing flash or expensive.
 
wicks do one for £14.00

As Migoplumber mentioned earlier in this thread, lloyds pharmacies do a CO detector for £9.99 but if you want one that detects both flammable gas and CO then thats going to cost you more.

Its good as puddle said to fit the CO monitors, but Im thinking for me so flammable gas aswell. It will get abused in the tool box so needs to be rugged.
 
the co detector is stand alone and comes with me in all plant rooms since incident.
buy a pipping gas detector about 100 quid.
difference is you can smell gas - thanks to the added chemicals.

Will have a look,have to keep price around that figure or start to have landlords moaning if much more but at these prices easy to insist on them:)
