Gas Sensor


 

Gas Sensor 

A gas sensor, also known as a gas detector, is a device that detects the presence and concentration of gases in an environment. These sensors are widely used in industrial, environmental, medical, and safety applications to monitor air quality and ensure safety from toxic or flammable gases.

Key Features:

  • Sensitivity: Detects very low concentrations of gases (in ppm or ppb).

  • Selectivity: Can target specific gases (e.g., CO₂, CH₄, NO₂, O₃).

  • Real-Time Monitoring: Provides continuous data on gas levels.

  • Compact and Low Power: Suitable for wearable and portable devices.

Working Principle:

Gas sensors operate based on various mechanisms:

  • Electrochemical: Measure current changes due to gas reactions.

  • Semiconductor (MOS): Detect changes in electrical resistance.

  • Infrared (NDIR): Measure gas absorption of infrared light.

  • Photoionization (PID): Detect gases by ionizing them with UV light.

Common Applications:

  • Industrial Safety: Detect hazardous gases like methane or hydrogen sulfide.

  • Environmental Monitoring: Track pollutants and greenhouse gases.

  • Automotive: Used in emission control systems.

  • Healthcare: Monitor patient respiration and anesthesia gases.

  • Smart Homes: Integrated into systems for smoke or CO detection.

Emerging Trends:

  • Integration with IoT for remote monitoring.

  • Miniaturized sensors for wearables.

  • AI-enhanced sensing for better pattern recognition and gas discrimination.
