As a detection instrument for gas leakage, combustible gas alarm sensor can be detected anytime and anywhere and is used in various industries. Its role is related to the safety of our living environment, and has received a lot of attention. How long is the service life of the combustible gas detector?
If you want to understand the time of use of a gas detector, you must first understand its important components. The important part of the gas detection alarm is the gas sensor.
Gas sensor is the most important factor affecting the time of use of the detector, and the performance of the sensor directly affects its life. Each single gas detector detects different gases, and the life of each detector is different due to the detection environment and detection gas, the sensor life of each detector is also different.
The life of the general combustible gas sensor is about three years, the toxic gas is about two years, and some may be slightly shorter only one to two years of service life. However, if you usually pay more attention to the maintenance of the sensor and place it in a sealed and low temperature environment, you can extend the service life for a period of time. The length of the life of the gas detector is affected by many factors, such as improper operation, the use of the environment and other factors can affect the service life of the portable detector.
Under normal circumstances, the combustible gas detector uses a catalytic combustion sensor, and the service life is about 3 years; Oxygen and other toxic gas sensors have a service life of about 2 years; Of course, this is not the case for all sensors, which is the service life of the sensor under normal circumstances when the gas environment is relatively moderate and daily protection is in place. In special harsh environments, such as high temperature, humidity and other environments, the service life of the sensor will be shortened accordingly.
In order to maximize the service life of the sensor, the following points need to be noted:
1.Prohibit the affect of high concentration gas, which may damage the sensor;
2. Avoid frequent power failure of the detector, resulting in unstable operation of the detection components;
3. Keep the surface of the instrument clean and dry, away from rain and corrosive gases, and do not use harsh chemicals or detergents with large concentrations to clean the instrument;
4. Do not fall, knock or violent shaking of the instrument, rough use may damage the instrument;
Finally, it is also important to regularly check that the gas alarm controller and gas detector are working properly.The gas alarm can effectively prevent and control the disaster, greatly reduce the probability of accidents, and ensure the life safety of industrial production and operators. At the same time, the gas detector should also be regularly replaced according to the specific use environment and the actual situation of the product, and in case of problems, the manufacturer should be contacted in time to achieve the best use effect and avoid causing safety hazards.
