What is the impact of the use environment on the gas detector?
I believe that personnel in the petrochemical industry must be familiar with the gas detector, which can provide the concentration of the gas that needs to be detected in the working environment in a timely manner. Based on these data, the staff can scientifically analyze whether to enter the environment for work or take corresponding measures. Measures can reduce the concentration of toxic gases in the working environment. So what are the effects of the use environment on the gas detector?
The gas detector is a very precise monitoring instrument, so it is very important to keep the gas detector clean. During daily use, it is necessary to do a good job in the anti-fouling, dust-proof and waterproof work of the detector, especially pay attention not to be polluted by organic silicon compounds, acidic compounds, lead-containing compounds, etc., so as not to damage the detector. Therefore, when there is polluting gas or dust in the surrounding environment of the gas detector, the gas detector needs to be cleaned regularly.
Operators need to understand the corresponding relationship and installation location of gas detectors and alarm controllers. At the same time, on-site personnel need to regularly check whether the controller is powered on to ensure that it can really function. The alarm also needs to be protected from rain, so as to prevent the alarm from being wet by rain, and prevent the alarm from affecting the performance of the gas detector itself due to moisture, and even causing damage to the detector. In this regard, the staff need to regularly check whether the rainproof facilities of the alarm are in good condition, and if any damage or other problems are found, they should be replaced or repaired in time.
In addition, the sensitivity of the gas detector will decrease or the measurement results will be inaccurate after a long period of use. It is necessary to check regularly whether the gas detector is within the service life. Gas detectors should not be in direct contact with high-concentration gases. This is because high-concentration combustible gases will generate a large amount of reaction heat once they are burned, which will reduce the sensitivity of the detector to a certain extent. The measuring bridge faces the possibility of being damaged. If the concentration of combustible gas in the surrounding environment is high, but the oxygen concentration in the air is low, the combustible gas may not be completely combusted, so that the carbon black produced by the combustion is deposited on the surface of the detector, and finally the alarm fails.
The daily maintenance of the gas detector can also prolong the service life of the equipment accordingly. At the same time, regular calibration of the gas detector is also necessary for the accuracy of the gas detector detection data. The correct factors can ensure that the gas detector can function normally and stably.
