Different application areas of gas sensors

The application of gas sensor in the civil field is mainly reflected in: in the kitchen, the detection of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, city gas and other civil gas leakage, through the detection of gas automatic control microwave oven cooking in the microwave oven when cooking food; Houses, buildings, meeting rooms, public entertainment places use carbon dioxide sensors, smoke sensors, ozone sensors, etc., to control the automatic operation of air purifiers or electric fans; In some high-rise buildings, gas sensors can also be used to detect fire signs and alarms.

In the industrial field, gas sensors are mainly used in the petrochemical industry. Some carbon dioxide sensors, ammonia sensors, nitric oxide sensors, etc., can be used for specific applications to detect harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, ammonia and chlorine. In addition, it can also be used to detect organic solvents and phosphoane and other toxic gases in semiconductor and microelectronics industries; In the electric power industry, hydrogen sensors can detect hydrogen produced during the deterioration of power transformer oil; In the food industry, gas sensors can also detect the freshness of perishable foods such as meat; There is also a wide range of demand for the detection of oxygen in the exhaust gas of automobile and kiln industries, and the detection of ethanol concentration in the breath of drivers in highway traffic.
