I've been looking into gas monitors, and have found what I think is a good one for the lowest cost. What I'm interested in monitoring is O2 and CO2, but the instrument monitors four gases in total. The question then is, if I'm going to get two extra gases monitored for the same price, do any of the available combinations present some advantage for a sub? Here are the "extra" gases to choose from:
- Carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide
- Ammonia and sulfur dioxide
- Ammonia and chlorine
- Carbon monoxide, ammonia
- Carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide
- Carbon monoxide, chlorine
- Hydrogen sulfide, ammonia
- Hydrogen sulfide, chlorine
- Sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide
I'm thinking I could always use the carbon monoxide in my home when checking for furnace leaks, and was it not chlorine that is produced when sea water comes in contact with batteries? In that case monitoring for chlorine might be useful in a sub that has battery pods that communicate with the cabin.
For those interested, here is the manual describing this instrument: http://www.canarysense.com/crm_uploads/honeywell_analytics_impact_gas_detector_user_manual.pdf
