In industrial sites such as petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, integrated pipe corridors, and commercial sites such as restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets, it is necessary to install flammable or toxic and harmful gas detectors. However, after purchasing the instrument, many consumers often fail to monitor due to incorrect installation positions, and may even damage the instrument and cause unnecessary losses. So, for different places, how should consumers effectively arrange and install flammable or toxic and harmful gas detectors?
The detection points of flammable gas and toxic gas detectors should be comprehensively analyzed based on the physical and chemical properties of the gas, the characteristics of the release source, the layout of the production site, geographical conditions, environmental climate, the characteristics of the detector, the reliability requirements of the detection alarm, and the operation inspection route. Choose the place where flammable gas and toxic gas are easy to accumulate, convenient for sampling and detection, and instrument maintenance.
Setting of flammable/toxic gas detectors in production facilities
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors in firebreaks
Detectors should be installed in the firebreaks of liquid storage tanks that produce flammable gases such as liquefied hydrocarbons, Class A B, and Class B A liquids. And comply with the following regulations:
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors in loading and unloading facilities
For loading and unloading facilities of liquefied hydrocarbons, Class AB and Class B liquids, the installation of detectors should comply with the following regulations:
The installation of detectors (detectors) for pumps or compressors in loading and unloading facilities should comply with relevant regulations.
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors at filling stations
The installation of detectors at liquefied hydrocarbon filling stations shall comply with the following provisions:
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors in hydrogen filling rooms: For closed or semi-open hydrogen filling rooms, detectors should be installed at the highest point in the room above the filling port where gas is easily trapped.
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors at loading and unloading terminals: For loading and unloading terminals that may emit flammable gas, a detector should be installed within 10m of the horizontal plane of the oil transfer arm.
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors in storage and transportation facilities: For other storage and transportation facilities that store and transport flammable and toxic gases, flammable gas detectors and (or) toxic gas detectors should comply with relevant regulations.
Installation of flammable/toxic gas detectors in open flame heating furnaces: A flammable gas detector should be installed between the open flame heating furnace and the source of flammable gas release.
The horizontal distance between the detector and the furnace edge of the heating furnace should be 5m~10m. When there is a solid wall of non-combustible materials between the open flame heating furnace and the source of flammable gas release, a detector should be installed on the side of the solid wall close to the release source.
Correctly and reasonably layout and install flammable/toxic gas detectors, so that gas detectors can play the best performance and protect the safety of gas environment in various fields!
