What are the requirements for the installation position of hydrogen alarm?
Publication Date:2023/06/07 Hydrogen is 1 kind of colorless, odorless and easy to burn gas. Once inhaled too much, it may lead to suffocation due to lack of oxygen. Therefore, in order to better ensure the safety of operation, we need to install hydrogen alarm to detect the concentration of hydrogen gas in the air, so as to achieve better monitoring effect. So do you know what the hydrogen alarm installation location requirements are? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun Tian:

hydrogen alarm installation location requirements:
1. The hydrogen alarm shall be installed in the place where the detected gas is easy to leak, and the installation position shall be determined according to the specific gravity of the detected gas relative to the air.
2. when the specific gravity of the detected gas is greater than that of the air, the hydrogen alarm should be installed at (30~60)cm from the ground, and the sensor part should be downward.
3. when the specific gravity of the detected gas is less than the specific gravity of the air, the hydrogen alarm should be installed at a distance of (30~60)cm from the ceiling, and the sensor part should be downward.
4. According to the GBT According to the provisions of 50493-2019 Design Standard for Combustible Gas and Toxic Gas Detection and Alarm in Petrochemical Industry, hydrogen alarm belongs to the scope of combustible gas detector. According to the description in Article 3.0.8 of SH3063-1999 "Design Code for Combustible Gas Detection and Alarm in Petrochemical Enterprises", the effective horizontal plane radius of combustible gas detector should be 7.5m indoors and 15m outdoors. Within the effective coverage area, a detector can be set up. Installation is generally in accordance with the outdoor every 15 meters to install a, indoor every 7.5 meters to install a.
To sum up, the hydrogen alarm installation location requirements. In order to ensure safety, companies must strictly follow the standards when installing hydrogen alarms. After all, the installation of hydrogen alarms is related to the personal safety of on-site operators. We must not be careless.
