How long is the service life of the gas detector?
Publication Date:2021/09/14 In our daily life, gas detector can be said to be 1 kind of very common instrument products, it can to a large extent, to help us detect the corresponding gas concentration in the working environment, so as to better ensure safety. However, there are many friends in the process of application of gas detector, there is a question: how long can it be used. How long is the service life of gas detector ? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun Tian:

In general, a gas detector mainly includes electronic components and sensor heads. Among them, the average failure interval of electronic components is at least 30 years, but the sensor head is certainly not that long.
Because the service life of a gas detector is generally determined by the life of its sensor. The service life of the sensor depends on many factors: what technical principle is used, the surrounding environment and whether the object gas is often present. As far as combustible gas detection is concerned, the sensor using infrared detection technology will have a life of 2-3 times longer than the sensor based on the catalytic combustion principle. At the same time, the infrared sensor will not reduce its life due to exposure to continuous or high concentration of combustible gas. The catalytic combustion principle sensor around the long-term object gas, life will be shortened.If the environment around the same electrochemical sensor has the target gas, the life will be shortened.
In addition, the factors that need to be considered are the ambient temperature and humidity. If the temperature exceeds the specified normal working range, high or low humidity, the life of the sensor will also be shortened. Although the life of the sensor must be stated in the specifications of the gas detector, the sensor probe is like the tire of a car, depending on the road surface, mileage and temperature. Generally speaking, the service life of the electrochemical and catalytic combustion principle sensor is 2-3 years, and the infrared principle sensor is about 5 years.
Regarding the question of how long the service life of the gas detector is, today Yiyun Tian Xiaobian will introduce it to you. In fact, if we want to better extend the service life of the gas detector, we must do its daily maintenance and maintenance, so as to better extend the service life of the gas detector.
