Answer ( 1 )
In nature, methane is the simplest organic matter. Natural gas, biogas, waste gas, etc. contain a lot of methane. Methane is the least carbon (most hydrogen) hydrocarbon. It can be used as a fuel to produce raw materials such as hydrogen, carbon black, carbon monoxide, acetylene, hydrocyanic acid and formaldehyde. Methane is a flammable and explosive gas, an important industrial raw material and a fuel for daily life. Methane sensors can monitor methane leakage in real time and avoid explosions.
What is a methane sensor?
A methane sensor is an instrument that detects the methane concentration in the environment. When the methane gas leaks in the environment and the gas sensor detects that the concentration reaches explosion or poisoning, the alarm will send out an alarm signal. Remind staff to take safety measures and drive exhaust, cut-off, and spray systems to prevent explosions.
Methane Sensor Features:
1.Real-time monitoring methane gas and toxic gas near the underground pipe gallery in the control room, and real-time alarm when a certain concentration is reached.
2.Watch the scene in real time through the host computer system monitoring center.
3.Record the above monitoring data in real time in the monitoring center, and manage the data in a unified and centralized manner.
4.It can send out alarm information through sound and light alarm, SMS alarm, LED screen display and other methods, and notify the person in charge of maintenance management in time.
5.Automatically organize historical data.
6.The management software provides event query, alarm configuration and query, and environment parameter browsing.
How to install a methane sensor?
The methane sensor should be installed in a well-ventilated area within a 1.5m radius from the generator
1.Natural gas, city gas, carbon monoxide, and smog are lighter than air. If it detects natural gas, city gas, carbon monoxide, and smoke, it is recommended to install it at about 0.3 meters from the bottom of the ceiling.
2.Liquefied gas is heavier than air and should be installed at a distance of 0.3 meters from the ground. If you detect liquefied gas, carbon monoxide, and smoke, because carbon monoxide is a highly toxic gas, and a small amount will cause poisoning and even death, it is recommended to install it at a distance of 1.4 to 1.7 meters from the ground.
Locations where methane sensors cannot be installed:
Places where the air is not easy to circulate, such as inside the cabinet. A location that is easily smoked directly by oil fumes, etc.
If an environment with a lot of dust or suspended particles, the smoke alarm will cause false alarms.
When the methane sensor cannot be installed:
1.The house is not painted and decorated
2.After the house is renovated, the overall ventilation is less than 5 days
3.Build wooden furniture in the house, or purchase new wooden furniture, and its comprehensive ventilation is less than 3 days.
4.Use or spray insecticides (mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc.), air cleaners, glue, hairspray, glue, etc., with comprehensive ventilation for less than 4 hours.
The above methane sensors are forbidden to be installed. If installed, please power off the sensor for a period of time, and protect the sensor with a plastic bag. The methane sensor can only be turned on after sufficient ventilation time. In order to avoid damage to the sensor, causing false alarms (no gas leakage and alarm).
