Gas analyzer for quick indicative measurements

The article describes the design and realization of the gas analyzer using 4 types of gas sensors - catalytic, electrochemical, semiconductor and infrared sensor. The analyzer is intended for quick orientation measuring the presence of gas. The analyzer includes basic parts - the sensor part, the evaluation and control part, the display and the output actuator part. The analyzer is designed for easy modification of its connection to different types of chemical sensors. The sensor part includes a chemical sensor, an EEPROM and a temperature sensor. The type of the used sensor sets the operation mode of the both part - evaluation and control part. Actuators on the output are ready to control the security elements (ventilation, alarm, etc.). The display shows the basic information - gas concentration, temperature, and more. Evaluation and control part includes microprocessor, memory for long-term data, signaling LEDs, push buttons.
