Causes and Solutions for Faults in Flammable Gas Detectors
There are two possible reasons for the malfunction of the comprehensive combustible gas detector: non-standard construction process and inadequate maintenance. Both of them have the potential to cause malfunctions in the combustible gas detector. The non-standard construction process may cause the combustible gas detector to malfunction during use. If the combustible gas detector is not located near the equipment that is prone to leaking combustible gas, or is installed adjacent to the exhaust fan, the leaked combustible gas cannot fully diffuse to the vicinity of the combustible gas detector, thus making it difficult for the leakage hazard to be detected by the combustible gas detector in a timely manner.
The combustible gas detector in residential buildings should be installed near the gas pipeline and stove in the kitchen. When residents use natural gas, the gas detector should be installed within 300mm of the ceiling; When residents use liquefied petroleum gas, gas detectors should be installed within 300mm of the ground. If the combustible gas detector is not reliably grounded and cannot eliminate electromagnetic interference, it will inevitably affect the voltage and result in inaccurate detection data.
Therefore, the combustible gas detector should be reliably grounded during the construction process. The combustible gas detector and wiring terminals are located in areas that are prone to collision or water ingress, causing electrical circuit breaks or short circuits. Non corrosive soldering flux must be used for welding, otherwise the joint will corrode and detach or increase the line resistance, affecting normal detection. Do not drop or throw the detector to the ground. After construction, debugging should be carried out to ensure that the combustible gas alarm is in normal working condition.
