Importance of monitoring road tunnel emissions
Monitoring air quality in road tunnels is of paramount importance for several reasons
Health and Safety
Poor air quality inside road tunnels can pose serious health risks to both tunnel users and the tunnel operators. The emission of pollutants from vehicles, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO) can lead to respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues. Monitoring air quality allows for early detection of elevated pollutant levels, enabling prompt actions to mitigate health risks and ensure a safe environment for road users.
Cumplimiento de la normativa
Monitoring air quality in road tunnels helps ensure compliance with environmental regulations and standards set by regulatory bodies. Many countries have strict guidelines on pollutant emissions, and tunnels are required to meet specific air quality standards. Continuous monitoring enables tunnel operators to identify areas where pollutant levels exceed permissible limits, leading to prompt remedial actions to meet compliance requirements.
Ventilation System Efficiency
Road tunnels are equipped with ventilation systems designed to maintain acceptable air quality levels by controlling pollutants and providing adequate ventilation. Monitoring air quality allows operators to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of ventilation systems. By analyzing data on pollutant concentrations, airflow patterns, and ventilation performance, operators can optimize ventilation strategies, ensuring efficient pollutant removal and minimizing the risk of pollutant buildup.
Incident Management
Road tunnels are susceptible to various incidents, such as vehicle fires, accidents involving hazardous materials, or equipment malfunctions, which can result in the release of toxic gases or smoke. Monitoring air quality in real-time enables early detection of abnormal pollutant levels, providing an essential tool for incident management. Timely detection can trigger appropriate emergency responses, such as activating smoke extraction systems, evacuating tunnel users, and notifying emergency services.
Environmental Impact
Road tunnels can have adverse environmental impacts if pollutant emissions are not properly managed. Monitoring air quality helps assess the environmental impact of tunnels by providing data on pollutant levels and trends. This information is crucial for identifying the sources of emissions and implementing measures to reduce environmental footprints, such as promoting cleaner vehicle technologies, optimizing traffic flow, or implementing air pollution control technologies.

Productos de monitoreo de túneles
Los monitores de visibilidad TunnelTech 100 son una parte esencial de cualquier sistema de seguridad en túneles ferroviarios o de carretera. En primer lugar, supervisa la visibilidad dentro del túnel y garantiza que el sistema de ventilación del túnel proporcione suficiente aire limpio para
que los conductores vean claramente la carretera por delante.
Los monitores de calidad del aire de la serie Monitores de calidad del aire pueden monitorear continuamente el CO, el NO y la visibilidad dentro de los túneles de carretera y ferroviarios. El monitoreo de estos gases vitales garantiza que el sistema de ventilación del túnel proporcione suficiente aire limpio para proteger la salud de los usuarios del túnel y para que los conductores vean claramente la carretera por delante.
Los monitores de flujo de aire de punto único (AFM) de la serie 300 de TunnelTech son los monitores de flujo de aire de túnel comprobados en la industria de CODEL que combinan la confiabilidad de la tecnología ultrasónica y brindan una excelente precisión y confiabilidad a un precio muy competitivo.
La serie TunnelTech 500/700 utiliza tecnología de celda electroquímica para determinar las concentraciones de CO, NO y NO2 dentro de túneles de carretera y ferrocarril. Al no haber partes móviles, los niveles de fiabilidad son muy altos y los requisitos de mantenimiento son bajos.
Los monitores de luz de la serie TunnelTech 600 son los monitores de iluminación y luminancia probados en la industria de CODEL para detectar luz tanto en el interior como en la entrada del túnel.
El monitor de flujo cruzado TunnelTech 801 ha sido diseñado específicamente para aplicaciones de carreteras, ferrocarriles y túneles civiles y pozos de ventilación y representa lo último en diseño compacto de cabezal de sensor ultrasónico.
