In recent years, with the rapid development of gas appliances, gas water heaters have become the standard for many Chinese households. However, due to the uniqueness of the gas appliance industry, 'safety' has always been a challenge. When residents use gas appliances, if Improper use can easily lead to accidents. Therefore, AO Smith recommends that consumers should be very protective against carbon monoxide poisoning when choosing gas water heaters.
Gas water heaters prevent carbon monoxide poisoning from saying farewell, alarm module 'high monitoring' is effective
After the straight-line, flue, and strong-row upgrades, the safety of gas water heaters has been greatly improved. However, the conventional high-efficiency gas water heaters are only based on the most basic exhaust emission, which has improved to some extent. The gas water heater's own safety, it still has many hidden dangers, such as strong exhaust system can not solve the carbon monoxide poured into the room, escape from the flue pipe to the indoor carbon monoxide and so on.
Various gas water heater companies have differences in solving carbon monoxide poisoning problems. However, some technical solutions are not scientific, while others are 'conceptual hype'.
For example, some gas water heaters come with a carbon monoxide alarm module on the bottom or side of the machine. This does not actually solve the problem of carbon monoxide poisoning. Because carbon monoxide is lighter than air and can easily levitate on the roof, it is detected when an alarm module is installed on the bottom or side of the machine. When the concentration of carbon monoxide exceeds the limit, the actual concentration of carbon monoxide is already very high. Therefore, it is very difficult for this technology to detect carbon monoxide sensitively at the first time. There is also a technology of 'catalytic coating of carbon monoxide' that faces the risk of catalyst failure. Another so-called 'carbon monoxide prevention technology,' is just a conceptual hype, its essence is the basic 'running machine technology'.
China Consumers Association warning: Carbon monoxide alarm module must meet 'separate installation' and 'high-level monitoring'
In order to truly lift the industry's carbon monoxide poisoning technology upgrade revolution, it is necessary to proceed from the 'environmental safety' pattern. In addition to the standard 'strong exclusion' emissions system, a carbon monoxide monitoring and alarm linkage module that is 'detached from the airframe' must be installed. Effective monitoring, pumping carbon monoxide throughout the kitchen environment. The alarm module must also be installed in a 'high position' in order to be able to monitor carbon monoxide concentrations in the kitchen environment sensitively at the first time. When the concentration of carbon monoxide reaches a certain set value, the alarm module Sound and light alarms are immediately performed. If the concentration reaches a dangerous value, the valve of the gas water heater is immediately shut off, and the fan of the gas water heater is turned on to purge the exhaust gas until the concentration of carbon monoxide in the environment drops to zero. This resolves the emission of carbon monoxide from the kitchen gas appliances in one move. Indoor carbon monoxide intrusion, tobacco pipe gap carbon monoxide escape and other security risks.
This 'high-level monitoring' installation method complies with the requirements of the "Handbook for the Installation and Acceptance of Household Gas Combustion Apparatus" issued by the Chinese Ministry of Construction and the "Gas Alarm Setup Manual" promulgated by the Japan Gas Alarm Industry Association. A professional and effective, scientific and reasonable solution.
To this end, the China Consumers Association issued two consecutive consumer warnings: To remind consumers to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning gas water heaters, the alarm module must meet the 'separate installation' and 'high monitoring' features.
AO Smith's carbon monoxide-poisoned gas water heater, as the industry leader, launched a gas water heater equipped with a carbon monoxide monitoring alarm linkage module. Its carbon monoxide safety protection technology has US invention patents. The alarm module and the machine are installed at a height of 30 cm from the roof. Precise 24-hour full-time monitoring of the carbon monoxide concentration in the entire kitchen. Once the carbon monoxide concentration exceeds 120 ppm, an audible and visual alarm is immediately provided. When the concentration reaches 240 ppm, the valve is automatically closed and toxic gases are removed to ensure the safety and reliability of the entire home kitchen space. .
Anti-carbon monoxide poisoning 5-dimensional safety upgrade
More importantly, in order to fundamentally solve the potential problem of carbon monoxide leakage of gas water heaters, AO Smith upgraded the carbon monoxide monitoring/alarm linkage module. Through technological innovation, the traditional drum-type fan was transformed into the top drive. Fans, in the industry, truly achieved the 'separation monitoring, active clearance, negative pressure anti-escaping, pumping gas to increase combustion, stable wind resistance' 5-dimensional safety upgrades against carbon monoxide poisoning, no fear of outdoor winds, fear of peak hours Low air pressure, stable combustion, reduce carbon monoxide production; and the strong suction of the top-drive fan is more firmly locked carbon monoxide, refused to escape. Multiple protection, gas water heater safety has been greatly improved.
Awarded Epland Gold Award, A.O. Smith Safety Technology Leader
The century-old master AO Smith based on safety technology, recently its high-end product of the carbon monoxide poisoning series - zero-cold water gas water heater has won the "Home Appliance sector Oscar," known as the highest honor Gold Award, is the only water heater industry won this award, again Reflecting AO Smith's technological leadership in the field of gas water heaters. The 'through research, find a better way' innovation philosophy has always been the core idea of AO Smith. It is precisely because of the persistent pursuit of innovation, AO Smith gas water heater It became the creator of US patented carbon monoxide poisoning technology, leading the industry in technological change and gaining unanimous recognition from the industry and consumers.
