A wide variety of gas mixtures are used to perform technological, production tasks, and even at the household level (heating, cooking stoves). At the same time, most of their types belong to the category of explosion, fire and hazardous to human health. Leakage and reaching a critical concentration, as a rule, occurs:
- In storage locations.
- At the point where the line connects to the equipment.
- When pumping or processing to specified parameters (pressure, temperature, mixing of components).
For impartial control and avoiding the occurrence of tragic consequences or emergencies, in accordance with current regulations, in places where there is a risk of leakage, special sensors are installed - control (alarm) gas analyzers (their types are presented in detail on the page of the website of the company "Gas-Analyzer", which supplies this type of equipment).
Basic requirements for installation types and format
Any gas analyzer, regardless of the design scheme of its device and the types of gases it is intended to determine the critical concentration of which at the installation site, must meet the following requirements:
- Performed in a fire and explosion-proof enclosure.
- Run an alarm when the gas concentration in the air is over 20%.
- Run an alarm if the gas content reaches 50%.
Depending on the model and the availability of certain options, gas analyzers should emit warning signals in a light and audible format. Transmit a signal about a dangerous concentration to the dispatcher's console of the service responsible for evacuating personnel and shutting off gas supply systems.
You can get acquainted with the types and technical characteristics of gas analyzers recommended for mandatory installation using the catalog of the Gas Analyzer company. All models presented on its pages have passed the appropriate certification and are sold together with a package of accompanying documents that allow their installation to perform specific types of technological tasks.
