- Catalytic Sensors
Catalytic sensors are widely used for detecting flammable gases. They consist of a catalyst that promotes a chemical reaction when exposed to combustible gases, resulting in a change in temperature or resistance. This change is then measured to determine gas concentration levels.
- Thermal Conductive Sensors
Thermal Conductive sensors are effective for detecting a wide range of gases. They operate by measuring changes in thermal conductivity when gases come into contact with a heated sensing element. The presence of a gas alters the heat transfer, allowing for accurate gas detection.
- Infra-red Sensors
Infra-red sensors utilize infrared radiation to detect specific gases. Each gas absorbs a unique wavelength of infrared light, enabling precise identification and measurement. Infra-red sensors are commonly used in industrial and environmental applications.
- Electrochemical Sensors
Electrochemical sensors are ideal for detecting toxic gases. They employ a chemical reaction between the target gas and an electrode, generating an electrical current proportional to the gas concentration. This current is measured to determine gas levels accurately.
- Solid Polymer Sensors
Solid Polymer sensors offer exceptional sensitivity and selectivity. They utilize a polymer film that swells or contracts when exposed to specific gases, resulting in a change in electrical properties. This change is measured and used to detect and quantify gas concentrations.
- Metal Oxide Sensors
Metal Oxide sensors are versatile and sensitive to a wide range of gases. They operate by measuring changes in electrical conductivity when gases interact with a metal oxide film. This technology is commonly employed in indoor air quality monitoring and safety applications.
- Photo Ionisation Detection
Photo Ionisation Detection (PID) sensors are used to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). They work by ionizing gas molecules using ultraviolet light, creating detectable electrical currents. PID sensors are commonly utilized in industrial and environmental monitoring applications.
