    In modern family life, gas safety is an important issue concerning life and property. As the first barrier to protect family safety, the performance of the core component of the household gas alarm, the combustible gas sensor, directly determines the timeliness and accuracy of the early warning. Faced with the complex and changing environment of the kitchen, the gas sensor needs to meet strict technical standards to ensure that it plays a role at critical moments.


1. Core performance standards of household gas alarms


1. Extreme sensitivity and precise resolution

    Household gas sensors must have extremely high sensitivity and be able to respond quickly to combustible gases such as methane and liquefied petroleum gas. Even in the early stage of a leak with a gas concentration as low as ppm, it can quickly sense and trigger an alarm, gaining precious disposal time for family safety.

2. Strong anti-interference ability and stability

    The kitchen environment is full of interference factors such as oil smoke, water vapor, and alcohol. The sensor must have excellent anti-interference performance to ensure stable operation in a complex environment. At the same time, in the face of natural fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and air pressure, the sensor needs to maintain long-term stable detection performance to avoid false alarms or missed alarms due to environmental changes.

3. Strict safety certification standards

    To ensure user safety, household gas alarms and their sensors must comply with strict national and regional standards. For example, my country's GB/T 34004-2017, GB 15322.2-2019 and other specifications ensure product quality and safety from product design to production.


2. Technological innovation of laser methane sensors


    With the rapid development of science and technology, laser methane sensors are redefining household gas safety standards with their advanced technological advantages. The sensor uses cutting-edge laser absorption spectroscopy technology to accurately capture trace methane gas in the environment through non-contact detection. Compared with traditional sensors, laser methane sensors show significant technical advantages:

1. Excellent detection performance

    With ultra-high sensitivity and accuracy, laser methane sensors can sound an alarm at the first time of gas leakage, effectively preventing major safety accidents such as explosions and fires. Its detection capabilities far exceed those of traditional sensors, and can greatly advance safety warning time.

2. Super strong environmental adaptability

    Under normal pressure environment, laser methane sensors are not affected by changes in pressure and humidity and have strong environmental adaptability. Its unique monochromatic design can use the exclusive absorption spectrum of methane molecules for detection, completely avoiding the cross-interference of spectra of different gas molecules, and realizing the unique selective identification of methane. Whether it is the cooking time filled with oil smoke or the humid and hot summer, it can maintain a stable and reliable working state.

3. Maintenance-free and long life

    Laser methane sensors do not require regular adjustment, and there is no problem of poisoning failure, which greatly reduces the user's maintenance cost and use risk. Its stable performance ensures that it always maintains efficient operation throughout the product life cycle.

4. Domestic technology breakthrough

    In recent years, my country has made major breakthroughs in core technologies such as lasers and detectors, and realized the full-chain localization of laser methane sensors. This not only breaks the foreign technology monopoly, but also makes the product performance reach the international leading level, laying a solid foundation for the upgrading of household gas alarms.
