Combustible gas detector for industry

heading_title

The Combustible gas detector is a safety device for monitoring the concentration of combustible gases in industrial processes. The detector is able to accurately sense changes in airborne gases, and once it detects that the concentration of combustible gases exceeds a preset safety threshold, it will quickly trigger an alarm system that emits an audible and visual alarm to alert personnel to take timely action. Its application in petroleum, chemical, gas, and other flammable and explosive places is particularly critical, through real-time monitoring and early warning, effectively preventing potential gas leakage accidents, to protect the safety of personnel and equipment.

 

Classification of Combustible Gas Detector

According to the detection principle classification

1. Electrochemical gas detector: utilizes a chemical reaction to convert gas concentration into an electrical signal, commonly used in detecting combustible and toxic gases.

2. Infrared gas detector: Based on the absorption of gas molecules at specific wavelengths in the infrared spectral range for concentration measurement, suitable for detecting combustible gases and carbon dioxide and other gases.

3. Semiconductor gas detector: utilizing the interaction between gas molecules and semiconductor materials for concentration measurement, suitable for detecting combustible gases and toxic gases.

According to the use of the environment can be categorized

Civilian, commercial, and industrial use of two kinds.

Civilian combustible gas detectors are generally installed in residential homes to detect the concentration of natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas leakage; commercial and industrial combustible gas detectors are generally explosion-proof products for large-scale industry and commerce, such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, scientific research, large-scale supermarkets, and other fields.

 

Combustible gas detector working principle

Combustible gas detector for industry utilizes their internal Combustible Sensors to detect gas and toxic gases in the surrounding environment and generate electrical signals accordingly. As the detected gas concentration increases, the electrical signals also increase gradually, and after exceeding the alarm limit, the electrical signals are converted into photoelectric signals, which send out acoustic and optical alarm signals. When the alarm limit is exceeded, the electrical signal will be converted into a photoelectric signal, and a sound and light alarm signal will be issued.

 

Combustible gas detector application places

Generally speaking, Combustible gas detectors should be installed in places where combustible gas leakage is easy to occur, such as petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, and other large-scale industrial places; catering enterprises, school canteens, nine small places and other commercial places; libraries, museums, research institutes, and other scientific research institutes; underground pipeline corridors, tunnels and other underground spaces; vegetable greenhouses, poultry raising and other agricultural places, all need to install combustible gas detectors to ensure the effective use of combustible gas. Need to install combustible gas detectors, to effectively protect people's lives and property safety.
