Generally, piping for transporting a liquid or gaseous flammable fluid is laid along a relatively long and narrow closed space such as a tunnel or a cave. Incidentally, it is conceivable that flammable fluid may leak from transport piping within these tunnels or caverns.
If flammable fluid leaks into a long, narrow, closed space such as a tunnel and reaches the explosive limit, it is expected to cause an extremely dangerous accident.

Conventionally, when piping, etc. for transporting flammable fluids is installed in a relatively long and narrow space such as a tunnel or a cave, a detector is installed in advance to detect leakage of flammable gas within this space. A method has been adopted in which a ventilation system is provided, and the detector detects the leakage of flammable gas, and at the same time, the space is continued to be ventilated by the ventilation system to take measures for the source of the leakage or outflow of the combustible gas.

In this method, the space is always in a so-called oxygen-deficient gas with a low oxygen concentration, so it is dangerous if this atmospheric gas leaks outside. Further, when performing maintenance by entering this atmospheric gas, sufficient safety measures are required. Furthermore, concentration control is necessary to keep the atmospheric gas above the explosive limit at all times.
