The gas alarm is a gas leak detection and alarm instrument. When the gas in the industrial environment leaks and the gas alarm detects that the gas concentration reaches the critical point set by the explosion or poisoning alarm, the gas alarm will send out an alarm signal. Gas experts pointed out that the large amount of carbon monoxide produced by gas leakage or exhaust gas emissions is the root cause of the response to gas poisoning. For example, a gas leak alarm can be used to get timely warnings.
Relevant departments have also concluded after long-term testing that the gas alarm is more than 95% effective in preventing carbon monoxide poisoning and gas explosion accidents.
Gas alarms are widely used in various oil refineries, oil depots, chemical plants, gas stations, liquefied gas stations, steel plants, gas transportation, storage places, factories and public places that use gas and may have gas leakage. With the rapid development of natural gas, the accompanying "West-East Gas Pipeline" project and the increase in civil gas users have brought huge business opportunities to the alarm market.
From the perspective of the macro environment, in my country's energy improvement structure, natural gas is a high-quality energy source. The global natural gas energy development and application have entered a period of rapid development, and the rate of urban gasification has increased rapidly. From a market perspective, with the continuous increase in the demand for industrial and civil gas in my country, the demand for gas alarms is gradually increasing. The huge market space is a new impetus to the development of the gas alarm industry. Domestically funded gas alarm manufacturers rely on their comprehensive advantages in technology, management, cost and marketing, and they have become the main force in the supply of gas in the future.
An internet survey data shows that only 6.76% of netizens have installed gas alarms in their homes. Although these data cannot represent the basic situation of the country, they can also prove that the current penetration rate of household gas alarms in my country is still extremely low. It is imperative to speed up the popularization of household gas alarms.
According to relevant industry sources, the first reason is that the residents' safety awareness is not strong, or there is a fluke mentality. They one-sidedly believe that the gas alarm is just a trick product and does not have much effect on gas safety protection. I don’t know, the gas alarm is a “must-have” in the home, not just an “icing on the cake”.
Furthermore, the government's promotion of this work (implementing the installation of gas alarms by citizens) is not strong. Although it is stipulated that gas alarms must be installed when using gas in public places and confined spaces, there is no rigidity for installing household gas alarms. It is stipulated that only a small number of areas have relevant regulations for the installation of gas alarms in households, making the necessity of installing gas alarms lack policy support.
