What is the cause of the error in the detection result of combustible gas alarm?

Publication Date:2022/11/02

combustible gas alarm is currently widely used in some places where there may be combustible gas leakage and the use of gas detection instruments, so that it can effectively protect the concentration of combustible gas in the air to reach the critical point of explosion or poisoning alarm set, alarm. However, in the process of using combustible gas alarm, we sometimes encounter errors in the detection results of combustible gas alarm. Then do you know what causes the error in the detection result of combustible gas alarm ? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun Tian:




Combustible gas alarm detection results error, mainly caused:


1. Impact of environmental factors


There may be gases in the environment that cause sensor poisoning or inhibition (general users may not know what gases cause sensor poisoning or inhibition); dust or soot in the environment will block the detector probe, so that the sensitive element can not contact the combustible gas, resulting in the sensor response is not sensitive or no response.The installation position of combustible gas alarm often has water vapor, water droplets, humidity, etc., which will reduce its performance or damage. The combustible gas alarm detector installed outdoors will be insensitive when the temperature is lower than the allowable temperature in winter, and the rain and snow prevention measures are not good. Water inflow will lead to instrument failure or damage.


2. Uncertainty of testing site


> There are many factors that affect the accuracy of detection, the detection environment is not a confined space. The leaked gas is unevenly distributed in the space. The gas concentration spreads from the leakage source to the surrounding area in a gradient. It takes a period of time to reach the detector. If the combustible gas alarm is installed and arranged irrationally, the location is far away from the leakage source or happens to be in the limelight, the gas concentration at the leakage source may have reached the explosion limit when the instrument gives an alarm. If the detector is installed outdoors, this situation is more prominent.


3. Incorrect detection method used


some units in the use of combustible gas alarm is not the use of the corresponding concentration of standard gas detection, instead, the direct use of gas for detection or gas lighter for detection (this phenomenon is very common), the combustible gas alarm caused by high concentration of gas impact, light lead to reduced sensor life or sensitivity, heavy lead to direct damage to the sensor.


4. Sensor life issues


p> This kind of combustible gas alarm gas sensor has a certain service life, when using, you should pay attention to its service life. The relatively short service life of the gas sensor and the easy poisoning are the shortcomings of the instrument. Failure to replace in time leads to the failure of the combustible gas alarm, resulting in errors in the detection results of the combustible gas alarm.


In summary, these are some of the reasons that may cause errors in the detection results of combustible gas alarms. Of course, because there are many reasons for the error of combustible gas alarm detection results, we should also check, find the reasons and solve them according to the actual situation. If you want the combustible gas alarm to maintain good use, it is recommended to choose a well-known gas detector manufacturer like Yiyuntian, with low failure rate and more guaranteed quality.
