Scope of installation and use of combustible gas alarm

Publication Date:2022/03/03

Combustible gas alarm is actually the 1 preventive alarm in regional safety monitoring. when the combustible gas alarm in industrial environment detects that the concentration of combustible gas reaches the critical point of lower or upper explosion limit, combustible gas alarm and toxic gas detector will send out alarm signals to remind staff to take safety measures, and drive exhaust, cut-off and spray systems to prevent explosion, fire and poisoning accidents, ensure safe production. However, no matter what kind of instrument, they actually have a scope of installation and use, combustible gas alarm is no exception. Then you know combustible gas alarm What is the scope of installation and use? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun Tian:



combustible gas alarm installation scope:


1. in a confined space, when the horizontal distance between any two points exceeds 8m, two or more combustible gas alarms can be set, and the following provisions should be met:


1. when using liquefied petroleum gas or mixed gas with specific gravity greater than 0.75, the horizontal installation distance of combustible gas alarm from the center of release source should not be greater than 3m, the installation interval of two combustible gas alarms should not be greater than 6m, and it should be set in corners and other parts where air does not circulate.


2. when using natural gas, artificial gas or mixed gas with specific gravity less than 0.75, the installation distance of combustible gas alarm from the center of release source should not be more than 4m, the installation interval of two combustible gas alarms should not be more than 8m, and the distance from vent and window should be more than 0.5m. When the space height exceeds 4m, the gas collecting hood or the detector shall be arranged in layers. The gas collecting hood shall be set at a position about 4m above the release source, the area of the gas collecting hood shall not be less than 1 ㎡, and the combustible gas alarm shall be installed in the gas collecting hood. When there is no gas collecting hood, combustible gas alarms can be set up in upper and lower layers. The upper layer is within 0.3m from the top plate and the lower layer is about 4m above the release source.


3. when the confined space is narrow and long with a cross-sectional area of less than 4 ㎡, the installation spacing of the two-way gas alarm shall not be greater than 15m.


2. in a large space, gas facilities and gas appliances only occupy a part or strip, the release source can be partially protected.


1. in open and semi-open places such as reserve stations and gate stations for gas transmission and distribution, combustible gas alarms should be arranged on the windward side of the annual low-frequency wind direction of the combustible gas release source, and the distance from the release source should not be more than 15m.


2. when the combustible gas alarm is located on the downwind side of the low frequency wind direction of the release source, the distance between it and the release source should not be more than 5m.


3. when the gas transmission and distribution facility is located in a closed or semi-closed factory building, combustible gas alarms can be set every 15m, and the combustible gas alarms should not be more than 7.5m away from any release source.


To sum up, it is the scope of installation and use of combustible gas alarms. By fully understanding the scope of installation and use of combustible gas alarm, we can ensure the smooth work of combustible gas alarm, and at the same time, we can also improve the control of combustible gas in the environment by field operators, so as to achieve safe and efficient production.
