Industrial Fixed Carbon Monoxide (CO) Gas Detector

Gas Detection Q&A - For Your Safety Environments

Built-in advanced gas detector sensor and sound & light alarm to ensure precise and safe gas detection in hazardous applications.

Q: What does Carbon Monoxide smell like?

A: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas, which means it has no discernible smell. Its lack of odor is one of the reasons why it is so dangerous. When Carbon Monoxide is present in the air, it can go unnoticed by our senses, making it especially treacherous in confined spaces. CO is produced by incomplete combustion of Carbon-containing fuels, such as wood, gasoline, natural gas, and oil. Common sources of Carbon Monoxide in homes include malfunctioning gas appliances, heating systems, and car exhaust in enclosed spaces. When these sources emit CO, individuals cannot rely on their sense of smell to detect its presence.

To safeguard against Carbon Monoxide poisoning, it's crucial to install CO detectors in your home. These fixed gas detectors can sense even low levels of CO and emit an alarm, providing early warning and potentially saving lives by alerting occupants to evacuate and seek fresh air when CO levels become dangerous.
