Gas sensors detect the presence and concentration of hazardous gases and vapours such as toxic or explosive gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), humidity, and odours. 

MQ series gas sensors are a type of electrochemical gas sensor that can detect the presence of a variety of gases, including combustible gases like methane and propane, and toxic gases like carbon monoxide. These sensors are widely used in a range of applications, including environmental monitoring, indoor air quality monitoring, and industrial process control. They are relatively small, low-cost, and easy to use, and they can operate in a variety of different environments.

There are many types of gas sensors that are used to detect the presence and concentration of various gases in the air. Some of the most common types include:

  • Electrochemical gas sensors: These sensors use a chemical reaction to detect the presence of a specific gas. They are relatively low-cost and easy to use, but they may not be as accurate as some other types of sensors.
  • Infrared gas sensors: These sensors use infrared light to detect the presence of a specific gas. They are generally more accurate than electrochemical sensors, but they may be more expensive and more difficult to use.
  • Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors: These sensors use a thin film of metal oxide to detect the presence of gases like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. They are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, but they may not be as accurate as some other types of sensors.
  • Catalytic gas sensors: These sensors use a chemical reaction to detect the presence of gases like methane and propane. They are generally more accurate than electrochemical sensors, but they may be more expensive and more difficult to use.

Robocraze provides a wide range of gas sensors, including oxygen sensors, CO2 sensors, nitrogen sensors, methane sensors, and others. To detect gas leakage or the concentration of a specific gas in the air, use gas sensors.

FAQs:

 

1. Are gas sensors compatible with Arduino?

  • The output is an analog signal and can be read with an analog input of the Arduino. The MQ-2 Gas Sensor module is useful for gas leakage detecting in home and industry. It can detect LPG, i-butane, propane, methane, alcohol, hydrogen and smoke.

2.Where should Gas Sensors be located?

  • Gas Sensors or Gas detectors should be placed near the floor for vapors or gases three or four times heavier than air. For the detection of lighter than air gases, sensors should be fitted near the roof or ceiling

3.What are the types of gas sensors?

  • Gas sensors are also called Gas Detectors. These sensors are electronic devices that detect and identify different types of gases. They are commonly used to detect toxic or explosive gasses and measure gas concentration.

4.How does a gas sensor work?

  • The working of a gas sensor depends upon the concentration of the gas. Based on the concentration of the gas the sensor produces a corresponding potential difference by changing the resistance of the material inside the sensor, which can be measured as output voltage.

5.How does a smoke sensor module work?

  • Smoke alarms have a small amount of radioactive material between two electrically charged plates, which ionizes the air and causes current to flow between the plates. When smoke enters the chamber, it disrupts the flow of ions, thus reducing the flow of current and activating the alarm.

6.What are MQ2 and MQ3 gas sensors?

  • MQ2 Gas Sensors
    • MQ2 gas sensors are also called as chemiresistors. It is an electronic sensor used for sensing the concentration of gases in the air such as LPG, propane, methane, hydrogen, alcohol, smoke and carbon monoxide.
  • MQ3 Gas Sensors
    • The MQ3 gas sensor is an alcohol sensor which is used to detect the alcohol concentration on your breath. This sensor provides an analog resistive output based on alcohol concentration.

7.What is the use of gas sensors?

  • The main purpose of Gas sensors or gas detectors help in detecting the different types of gases in the environment. They are commonly used to detect toxic or explosive gasses and measure gas concentration. Gas detectors can be used to detect combustible, flammable and toxic gases, and oxygen depletion. They may be used in firefighting.
