The difference between a carbon monoxide alarm and a gas detector

    Today, many owners of life will tell carbon monoxide announciator and gas alarm, carbon monoxide announciator and gas alarm is very different, a lot of dealers and users often get mixed up both. The difference is very big, actually carelessly, you will need to use the occasion of carbon monoxide alarm wrongly installed the gas alarm, the occasion of the should have installed the gas alarm installed carbon monoxide alarm, will give people life and property losses.

    Carbon monoxide detectors are used to detect carbon monoxide gases (CO). Can not be used to detect methane (CH4) and other alkane gases. And gas alarm is detection of natural gas, also is the main ingredient of methane gas, blast, carbon monoxide is toxic, sensor types are different, the use of catalytic combustion gas sensor, carbon monoxide is electricity chemical sensors.
Gas alarm systems on the market can usually be used to detect natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas or coal gas, and urban pipeline gas is usually one of these three gases. The main components of these gases are methane (C4H4), which is characterized by a pungent odor. When these gas concentrations in the air exceed a certain standard, they will explode. The gas alarm detects this explosive type of gas and cannot be used to detect carbon monoxide gases.
Urban piping coal is a kind of special gas, which contains both CO components and alkanes. So if the gas leak detection is detected, the detection of the carbon monoxide detector can also be detected by gas alarm. But if you want to detect whether the gas, liquefied petroleum gas or coal is producing an excessive amount of carbon monoxide in combustion, then you need to use a carbon monoxide alarm. In addition, carbon monoxide gas (CO), not methane (CH4), is produced by heating coal and burning coal. So you should use a carbon monoxide alarm instead of a gas alarm. If you use a coal stove to warm up and burn coal, it´s useless to install a gas alarm. People are poisoned, and the gas alarm doesn´t ring. It´s pretty dangerous.
In short, if you want to detect toxic gas and care about poisoning, use a carbon monoxide alarm. If you want to detect an explosive gas, whether it will explode or not. Then gas alarm must be selected.
See whether the pipe is leaking, generally use gas alarm. The commonly used gas alarm USES catalytic combustion sensors, and toxic gases use electrochemical sensors. It is a reminder to install a household independent gas alarm, which is produced by the regular manufacturer of carbon monoxide alarms.
