The importance of installing gas alarms in boiler rooms

The main component of natural gas is methane, which is a flammable and explosive gas. If natural gas leakage encounters open flame, static electricity, lightning or improper operation, it will cause explosion and fire. Natural gas explosion is instantaneous (one thousandth of a second) to produce high temperature (up to 3000 ℃) and high pressure combustion process. The explosion wave speed can be Up to 300m/s, causing great destructive power; in a confined space, it will cause hypoxia, suffocation, and even death. The installation of natural gas alarms can effectively avoid explosions and fires, thereby avoiding the safety of property and staff.

 In boiler rooms that use natural gas as fuel, combustible gas alarms must be installed and linked with emergency shut-off valves.

Matters needing attention: In-use boilers need to implement a regular inspection system. Boilers without periodic inspection certificates. Do not put into operation. Units that use boilers should conduct regular inspections on the safety of the boiler room. Unit supervisors should conduct on-site inspections of the boiler room once a month. Boiler room management personnel should conduct on-site inspections once a week and make records for inspection by the labor department.

Principle: When there is ethylene gas or volatile vapor of flammable and toxic gas in the air, the detection signal of the Detector is immediately transmitted to the alarm control unit through the cable, and the controller displays the gas concentration. When the set alarm concentration value is exceeded, the alarm will be triggered. The controller sends out sound and light alarm signals and outputs linkage control signals to control the fan and other equipment to eliminate dangerous situations, thereby ensuring the safe production of the factory and avoiding accidents.

From its function, it is not difficult to see the importance of gas alarm. If a gas alarm is installed, in case we forget to turn off the gas source, once the natural gas concentration reaches the alarm value we set, the alarm will remind us that there is a gas leak, and we should take measures to avoid the explosion to a large extent Accidents happen. The importance of installing natural gas alarms in boiler rooms. In order to ensure the reliability of product performance, we recommend that users regularly maintain and calibrate the product during the period of using the natural gas alarm. If you have any questions, please consult a professional technician.
