Gas sensors

Gas detectors  can be used to  detect  combustible, flammable, and toxic  gases  and oxygen depletion.  Modern society frequently encounters the use of both toxic and flammable gases on a daily basis. Gases are utilized in a controlled manner in a wide range of applications however it is essential that we employ critical safety systems to ensure we regulate and control the potential risks associated with an uncontrolled gas leak. Four basic types of gas sensors are widely used for gas detection and monitoring in commercial or industries: Catalytic gas sensors: The catalytic-type gas sensor consists of two elements:  A detector element (D):   which contains catalytic material and is sensitive to combustible gases, and  A compensator element (C): which is inert .  Combustible gases will  burn only on the detector element, causing a rise in its temperature and,  as a consequence, a rise in its resistance. Combustible gases will not burn  on the compensator—its temperature and resistance
