The difference between a carbon monoxide gas detector and a combustible gas detector
Carbon monoxide detector and combustible gas detector are very different, many dealers and users often confuse the two. In fact, the two are very different, accidentally, will need to use the carbon monoxide detector occasions wrongly installed combustible gas detector, the combustible gas detector should be installed on the occasion of the installation of the carbon monoxide detector, will bring great losses to people's lives and property.
Carbon monoxide detector is used to detect carbon monoxide gas (CO). It cannot be used to detect alkane gases such as methane (CH4).
Commercially available combustible gas detectors can usually be used to detect natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas or coal gas, etc. City pipeline gases are usually one of these three gases. The main components of these gases are alkane gases such as methane (C4H4), which are mainly characterised by a pungent odour. When the concentration of these combustible gases in the air exceeds a certain standard it can cause an explosion. Combustible gas detector is this explosive alkane gas, and can not be used to detect carbon monoxide gas.
City pipeline gas is a special gas, which contains both CO and alkane gases. Therefore, if you just want to detect whether there is leakage of pipeline gas, you can use both carbon monoxide detector and combustible gas detector. However, if you want to detect whether piped natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas or coal gas produces excessive carbon monoxide gas during combustion, you need to use a carbon monoxide detector. In addition, heating with a coal stove and burning coal, etc. produces carbon monoxide gas (CO), not alkane gas such as methane (CH4). So you should use a carbon monoxide detector rather than a combustible gas detector. If in the use of coal stoves heating, coal burning occasions to install combustible gas detector is of no use, people are poisoned, combustible gas detector will not ring. This is quite dangerous.
In short, if you want to detect the poisonous gas, concerned about whether it will be poisoned, then you must use Hunan Guorui handheld or fixed carbon monoxide detector. If you want to detect explosive gases, concerned about the pipeline is not leaking, generally use the Hunan Guorui handheld or fixed combustible gas detector can be. Hunan Guorui adopts the catalytic combustion detection principle to detect the concentration of various combustible gases, with infrared remote control, as well as sound and light alarms and other features, widely used in petrochemical, metallurgy, mining, fire, gas, electric power communications, urban water supply, sewage treatment, scientific research, education, and national defence.
