Types of Carbon Monoxide Detectors

November 11th, 2008 · No Comments · Carbon monoxide detectors

Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor (MOS) Carbon Monoxide Detectors use heated tin oxide. When CO is detected, the heated tin oxide reacts with it and an alarm will sound.

Biomimetic Carbon Monoxide Detectors use a gel-coated disc. When CO is present, the gel-coated disc darkens, causing an alarm to sound. Thesedetectors use a chemical reaction with CO to create an electrical current, which generates the required voltage to produce the alarm.
