Gas Sensors

1. Overview

Gas sensors are detection devices that identify and measure gas concentrations in the environment. They convert chemical interactions with gas molecules into electrical signals for quantitative analysis. These sensors play a critical role in industrial safety, environmental monitoring, healthcare, and smart home systems by preventing gas leaks, ensuring air quality, and enabling process control.

2. Major Types and Functional Classification

Type	Functional Features	Application Examples
Electrochemical	High accuracy, stable baseline, requires oxygen	CO detectors, O2 monitors
Semiconductor	Low cost, broad detection range, temperature-dependent	Indoor air quality sensors
Catalytic Combustion	Explosive gas detection, requires periodic calibration	Industrial methane detectors
Infrared (IR)	Non-contact measurement, high selectivity	CO2 HVAC monitoring
Photoionization (PID)	VOC detection at ppm levels, UV lamp required	Environmental pollution monitoring

3. Structure and Components

A typical gas sensor consists of: - Sensing element (metal oxide/electrolyte membrane) - Signal conditioning circuit (amplifier, ADC) - Housing with gas inlet ports - Temperature/humidity compensation module - Communication interface (UART/I2C)

4. Key Technical Specifications

Parameter	Description
Detection Range	Measurable gas concentration span (ppm to %LEL)
Sensitivity	Signal change per gas concentration unit (mV/ppm)
Response Time	T90 response speed (3-300 seconds)
Accuracy	Measurement error margin ( 2-10%)
Operating Temperature	Functional range (-20 C to +50 C typical)
Long-term Stability	Drift specification (5-15% per year)

5. Application Fields

Industrial safety: Fixed gas detection systems
Environmental monitoring: Urban air quality stations
Healthcare: Medical breath analyzers
Smart homes: Combustible gas alarms
Automotive: Cabin air quality management
