Advanced Energy

 

 

Next time you see a gas-powered forklift or floor polisher, you might want to run for the nearest exit. At least that's how Advanced Energy's Bruce Davis sees it. The three anecdotal reports that follow are among several that have sensitized Davis to potential problems with indoor use of gas-powered combustion engines. In one case, a friend borrowed a carbon monoxide (CO) meter from Davis to check out CO levels in his home. The friend stopped by his workplace on his way home, casually setting the device down on his desk. When the alarm sounded, the exasperated friend called the CO meter manufacturer to report their malfunctioning equipment. The manufacturer screamed back, “Get out, get out now!” As it turned out, there was a very serious problem in the offices where the man worked. Adjoining the offices was a large warehouse equipped with gas-powered forklifts. This alarming situation was soon corrected with a proper ventilation. strategy.
