It is also important to evaluate the transmission system that the simple-cycle plant is currently supplying power to. If the transmission system requires substantial upgrades to handle the additional distribution of power, the conversion from simple cycle to combined cycle could prove too expensive.
Carbon monoxide detectors placement: Do's. In order to maximize the protection of your home from excess levels of carbon monoxide, place your detectors in all of the following places: 1  On every level of your home. 2  Five feet from the ground. 3  Near every sleeping area. 4  Near attached garages. 5  Where the manufacturer recommends.
Methods used to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in a given volume include electrochemical alarms and solid state detectors. Permanently-mounted Electrochemical alarms work by converting the carbon monoxide electrochemically to carbon dioxide. This conversion generates an electrical current that is taken as a measure of the gas concentration and sounds the alarm on the device when it reaches a certain predetermined level.
