carbon monoxide detector installation should pay attention to what?
Publication Date:2023/06/14 As we all know, carbon monoxide is the 1 common gas in our daily life. Once the carbon monoxide is absorbed for a long time, it will pose a great threat to our health. Therefore, we must install a carbon monoxide detector to observe the change of gas concentration at any time. Do you know what to pay attention to when installing carbon monoxide detector ? The following is a brief introduction by yi yun Tian:

CO Detector Installation Notes:
1. the effective coverage horizontal radius of the carbon monoxide detector should be 7.5m indoors and 15 m outdoors. A detector may be provided within the effective coverage area.
2. the carbon monoxide detector should be installed in places where the gas is easy to leak and flow through, and places where the gas is easy to stay. the installation location should be determined according to various conditions such as the density of the measured gas, the airflow direction of the installation site, and the temperature.
3. the carbon monoxide detector should be selected as close as possible within a radius of 1 meter from the valve, pipeline interface, air outlet or leakage-prone vicinity, but not affecting the operation of other equipment. at the same time, high temperature and humidity should be avoided as much as possible, and external influences should be avoided, such as splashing water, oil and easy to cause mechanical damage.
4. when detecting toxic gases (such as carbon monoxide) close to the molecular weight of air and easily mixed with air, the carbon monoxide detector should be installed within 1m above and below the release source. When toxic gas is slightly lighter than air, the detector is installed above the release source. When the toxic gas is slightly heavier than the air, the carbon monoxide detector is installed below the release source; the horizontal distance between the detector and the release source should not exceed 1m.
5. When installing a carbon monoxide detector outdoors, take rain-proof measures, such as installing a rain cover.
In summary, the carbon monoxide detector installation considerations.After we install the carbon monoxide detector correctly, we can ensure that the gas concentration exceeds the standard and remind the staff to take measures in time. Therefore, it can be widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, coal mine, metallurgy, papermaking, fire protection, municipal administration, telecommunications, food, Textile and other industries.
