Ce blog se concentre sur le nombre de détecteurs de monoxyde de carbone dont j'ai besoin, with some mention of proper installation amount based on various situations.
Why Do You Need A Carbon Monoxide Detector?
Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless poisonous gas, so we human can not sense it by smell and vision. What’s worse, it comes from lots of household appliance, such as burning of coal, gas stoves, heating stoves, fireplace in the house. Therefore, we highly recommend to get a smart carbon monoxide detector at home.
Smart carbon monoxide sensors excel in monitoring the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air in real-time. Once the concentration exceeds the preset standard, it will give a sound-light alarm and send a reminder to your mobile app by IoT WiFi. With these in-time alert, you can take immediate action to solve gas poisoning risk.
What House Should Have Carbon Monoxide Detectors?
· Houses With Gas Appliances
If your house has gas appliances such as a gas stove or gas water heater, then using carbon monoxide sensor is a good choice to protect your health and safety. Ou, if your house has a fireplace or indoor firewood, you also need to install a carbon monoxide sensor to prevent the risk of poisoning.
· Car warehouse or Basement
A garage or basement is usually used for vehicle parking. When the vehicle is started, carbon monoxide may be produced. The gaseous emission will be trapped in the enclosed or semi-enclosed garage. So, you should also consider installing a carbon monoxide sensor in the basement.
· Old or Poorly Ventilated House
Old buildings or poorly designed houses may have problems with poor ventilation. In particular, if you use a coal or gas stove for indoor heating in the winter, please consider placing a smart carbon monoxide sensor at home.
· House for Industrial or Commercial Use
| Pharmaceutical Plant | Chemical Plant | Fertilizer Plant |
| Natural Gas Plant | Metallurgy Plant | Steelmaking Plant |
| Gas Plant | Refrigeration Plant | Chemical Workshop |
Because harmful gases such as carbon monoxide may be produced during the production process, carbon monoxide sensors must be installed to ensure personnel safety.
What Is the Maximum Distance Between Carbon Monoxide Detectors?
It depends on your house type, indoor ventilation, gas source location and the performance of your smart CO sensor.
For homes covering large areas with many rooms and floors, we recommend installing a sensor within a distance of under 10 meters from each other on the same floor. For smaller homes with fewer rooms, we recommend keeping them closer due to the compact space. Anyway, the key is to place the sensors in a position where they can detect the entire room and key area.
A well-ventilated room usually allows fast diffusion rate of carbon monoxide, so we can appropriately increase the installation interval of the sensors. Cependant, if there are multiple sources of CO indoors, we advise to installing smart CO sensors near these sources. En général, there may be less than one-meter interval between device and device.
Bien sûr, sensors with a wider detection range and higher sensitivity can cover a larger area, so you can put them in larger installation intervals.
How Many Carbon Monoxide Detectors Do je Need?
At least, we need to place one carbon monoxide sensor at home to promptly alert in case of carbon monoxide leakage.
We should prior to install smart carbon monoxide sensors in key places such as bedrooms and kitchens. Because, bedrooms are places where people sleep for a long time, so they may be unaware of any leakage. Aussi, kitchens contains more gas appliances than others, so the risk of CO poisoning become higher.
Dernier, consider increasing the number of carbon monoxide sensors at home
-if there are multiple gas appliances in the house,
-or if you frequently use gas appliances indoors,
-or if the house has a complex structure but with poor ventilation.
Do You Need A Carbon Monoxide Detector in Every Room?
Not necessary. In general, the following room or area is the priority, while other rooms may be of weak necessity.
- Kitchen: If there is a gas stove, gas water heater, gas fireplace and other gas equipment in the room, this equipment is very likely to produce carbon monoxide during use. Donc, it is very important to set a l carbon monoxide sensors in the kitchen.
- Living room or main activity area is where family members often stay gather. Et, some living rooms also contain fireplaces. If carbon monoxide sensors are installed in these areas, it can ensure that carbon monoxide leaks are detected in time when household members are happily going about their daily activities.
- Bedroom is the room that people sleep in for a long time. If carbon monoxide leaks and accumulates in the bedroom, people may unconsciously inhale it. You can place a carbon monoxide sensor in the bedroom to ensure in-time CO monitoring during sleep, providing you a safety and comfortable sleep.
- Garage：Due to the poor ventilation conditions of the underground garage, the exhaust gas emitted by automobiles may be accumulated. One of the main harmful gases is carbon monoxide, a colorless, inodore, non-irritating toxic gas. Donc, it is difficult to be directly perceived by the human body. Smart carbon monoxide sensors are able to monitor the concentration of carbon monoxide in the garage in real-time and send an alert when the concentration exceeds a safety level. This leaves your families enough time to solve the risk of CO poisoning, such as turning on ventilation and evacuating people. En outre, a smart carbon monoxide concentration sensor can connect to a smart ventilation system in the IoT network. Par exemple, when it detects excessive levels of CO, the smart ventilation system will automatically start via telecommunication tech and preset program in time. This smart IoT home solution is exactly safe, effective and convenient.
Do I Need A Carbon Monoxide Detector If I Have No Gas?
If you have no gas, you may not need a CO detector. Cependant, don’t forget to check whether there is a wood fire fireplace. Et, keeping a smart CO sensor is not a bad choice under this circumstance
How Many Carbon Monoxide Detectors Do You Need for A 3-Story Home That Is 4200SF?
In common, if each floor covers roughly similar areas with general ventilation, we suggest installing one sensor in a central point of each floor or near a potential source of CO. De cette façon, you totally need 3 sensors for your house.
Takeaway
Bien sûr, you need to adjust the number of installations according to the specific conditions of your house in practice.
