CO gas detector
Carbon monoxide gas detector, as the name suggests, is a gas detector that detects carbon monoxide. The detector system is widely used in petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, steel, special industrial plant and other fields and other places where combustible gas exists.
CO gas detector Category:
Carbon monoxide is one of the most common combustible gases. The combustible Gas detectors on the market can be divided into Fixed Industrial Gas Detector and portable gas detector according to the different installation methods. Carbon monoxide in different use occasions its gas properties are not the same: one is that when carbon monoxide in some industrial flammable places, it will mix with oxygen, encounter fire sources and will explode; The other is that under certain conditions when carbon monoxide reaches a certain concentration, it will harm human health, or harm the safety of the gas, such occasions carbon monoxide is characterized as toxic and harmful gases.
CO gas detector working principle:
CO gas detector is a device specifically designed to detect the presence of carbon monoxide gas in the air. Based on the chemical reaction between carbon monoxide and oxygen or the absorption properties of infrared light, it detects the concentration of carbon monoxide through sensors and converts the results into a readable digital display or alarm signal. When the carbon monoxide level exceeds the set safety threshold, the detector will trigger an alarm to remind people to take appropriate measures to protect their lives.
An electrochemical sensor is a commonly used type of sensor that detects carbon monoxide gas through an electrochemical reaction. The sensor contains a working electrode and a reference electrode composed of electrodes. When the carbon monoxide in the air comes into contact with the working electrode, a REDOX reaction occurs and an electric current is generated. The magnitude of this current is proportional to the concentration of carbon monoxide. Electrochemical sensors determine the concentration of carbon monoxide by measuring the size of an electric current.
Infrared sensors are also a common type of sensor that uses the properties of carbon monoxide absorption to detect carbon monoxide gas. The infrared sensor emits a beam of infrared light, and when this beam passes through carbon monoxide in the air, the carbon monoxide absorbs some of the infrared light. The infrared light received by the sensor is reduced, and the concentration of carbon monoxide is determined by measuring the degree of reduction.
CO gas detector application:
CO gas detector is widely used in many places, such as homes, offices, commercial buildings, factories and so on. Its working principle enables it to detect the presence of carbon monoxide gas in a timely and accurate manner, avoiding the harm caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. At the same time, the use of carbon monoxide gas detectors also reminds people to pay attention to air quality and safety awareness to prevent potential dangers.
