Gas Interlock Systems, Does Your Kitchen Comply?

An adequate ventilation system is essential in most commercial catering kitchens to safeguard the health of the workforce and current Gas Supply Regulations require that it is interlocked to ensure that the gas supply is shut off in the event of ventilation failure. Carlton Services has been supplying the popular GIS system for several years and is now to offer the full series with a range of models and features to suit all installation requirements.

With the G02 and G04 models, sensors placed either side of the ductwork fan are connected to a pressure differential switch which is activated when the pressure difference changes. Alternatively the correct operation of the ventilation system can be verified by monitoring the power consumption of the circulation fan using Fan Power Sensors which are built-in to the G05 and G06 models. If incorrect operation of the ventilation system is detected by either method a solenoid valve is closed to shut off the gas supply to the kitchen. To simplify installation the GIS can incorporate an emergency shut-off switch and fan control switches. A complete system requires a GIS Control Box, either a Pressure Differential Switch or a Fan Power Sensor per fan (built-in with G05 and G06 models), a Gas Solenoid Valve and a Remote Emergency Shut-off Switch (optional).

Gas Interlock Systems

CORGI and HSE have advised against using Gas Interlock Systems (GIS) with override features. In response to these developments, Mechline has included in its offer new GIS models to help operators meet the new requirements. For catering information sheets and updates, visit the HSE site.

Models: M-G01N, M-G02, M-G02R, M-G04R and M-G05R.

Bullet Point New Design for market-leading Gas Interlock System family

Bullet Point Cut off gas flow in the event of kitchen extract fan failure

Bullet Point Provide same function and practicality of “override” units but comply with HSE recommendations

Bullet Point Mandatory requirement in most commercial kitchens

What a G.I.S Units Do

The 230V G.I.S. monitors either Air Pressure Differential Sensors mounted in the extraction and air supply ductwork and/or Fan Power Sensors. In the event of fan failure or significant air flow reduction (as calibrated by an installation engineer), the sensors will actuate the GIS, which in turn closes the gas solenoid and cuts off the gas supply to the kitchen appliances.
When is a Gas Interlock System a mandatory requirement?

Bullet Point On installation of a completely new extraction/ventilation canopy
Bullet Point On installation of a completely new gas pipework run
Bullet Point
On installation of a completely new cook line or layout

With any fitting of Category ‘B’ equipment e.g. combination ovens, deep fryers, grills, charcoal griddles. This includes replacements to an existing layout
