Tim_Lou Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 most carbon monoxide detecter uses a platinum oxide metal.it reacts with carbon monoxide and releases energy:PtO + CO--> CO2 + Pt + heatthe detector measuere how much the temperature has changed and sound an alert when necessary. the Pt regenerates itself in the presents of air:2Pt + O2 --> 2PtO there are also some other carbon monoxide detecter, you might wanna check the website out:http://www.city.greatersudbury.on.ca/cms/index.cfm?app=div_fireservices&lang=en&currID=992&parID=980 ps: remember: "When you smell an odorless gas, it is probably carbon monoxide" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi, It seems that carbon monoxide detectors vary widely in reliability and quality? My recommendation would be the SF350 as this model is great and now conforms to new EU regulations according to this wonderful spam site.
