What types of portable carbon monoxide detectors are there?

A portable carbon monoxide detector is a small instrument that can be carried around. It can monitor the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air in a timely and accurate manner in the working environment, and can sound an alarm to remind staff to take safety measures to prevent poisoning accidents. So what types of portable carbon monoxide detectors are there? The following editor of Zechuan Technology will give you a detailed introduction to this issue.

Common portable carbon monoxide detectors are of the following types:

Sound and light alarm type: This type of detector will sound sound and light alarms. When the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds the set value, the alarm will sound. This detector is relatively cheap, but the accuracy is relatively low and the response time is relatively long.

Digital display type: This type of detector will display the value of the carbon monoxide concentration on the dashboard. When the concentration exceeds the set value, the number will flash. This detector has a relatively high accuracy and a relatively fast response time. However, this type of instrument can only read and cannot transmit data, so data analysis and processing are more difficult.

Automatic battery replacement type: This type of detector is powered by a rechargeable battery with a battery life of up to several years. When the battery power is lower than the set value, the detector will automatically prompt to replace the battery to avoid the situation where it cannot be used normally due to insufficient power. This detector is more suitable for situations where the carbon monoxide concentration in the environment needs to be monitored for a long time.

The above types of portable carbon monoxide detectors are shared here. Portable carbon monoxide detectors generally use catalytic combustion sensors to detect gas concentrations. This sensor can detect trace amounts of carbon monoxide gas in the air on site and can convert its concentration into digital signal output. It can be widely used in industrial production, mining, metallurgy and steelmaking, automobile exhaust emissions, chemical production and other industries.
