Detection Principle 11. Detection Principle ● Catalytic Combustion Type A catalyst applied to the surface of a platinum coil causes catalytic combustion on the surface of the catalyst even when the gas concentration level in lower than the lower explosion limit. The temperature rise in this process increases the electrical resistance of platinum coil.
Glossary 12. Glossary Zero adjustment: Zero-point setting in pure air (21 vol% adjustment for Oxygen) Explosion-proof: A structure applied to electrical equipment to prevent the equipment from igniting the surrounding explosive atmosphere as the source of ignition. Intrinsically safe design: A structure whose inability to ignite explosive gases with a spark of electricity or a hot section generated in normal time or an accident has been confirmed in fire and other tests.
