Gas Sensors

Stocklist | Knowledge

Gas sensors are indispensable components that are used in various areas to monitor the presence, concentration and quality of gases in the air.

Some typical applications of gas sensors are listed below:

Industrial monitoring: In the chemical and petrochemical industries, gas sensors are used to detect hazardous gases such as ammonia, benzene or hydrogen sulphide.
Detect hydrogen sulphide. This ensures the safety of employees and prevents uncontrolled emissions.
Environmental protection: Gas sensors are important for monitoring air quality. They measure pollutants such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter,
to monitor the impact on the environment and human health.
Household applications: In residential buildings, gas sensors are often found in the form of carbon monoxide or smoke detectors. These sensors provide a timely warning of dangerous
concentrations of carbon monoxide or smoke to ensure the safety of residents.
Automotive industry: Gas sensors are used in vehicles to monitor exhaust emissions and ensure that they are within the legal limits. They can also optimise fuel consumption.
Food industry: In food processing, gas sensors monitor packaged food for freshness and shelf life. They can detect gases such as ethylene, which is produced during the ripening of fruit and vegetables.
Medical applications: In medicine, gas sensors are used to monitor gases in anaesthesia systems. They help to ensure the correct concentration of anaesthetic gases and thus increase safety during surgical procedures.
