In industries these are used to detect the leakage of harmful gases.
You will find a list of the main sensors along with the gases and aerosols they detect the most as follows.
Mq 2 flammable gases such as lpg and propane.
Mq 7 carbonic monoxide co and hydrogen h 2.
Here s a not entirely comprehensive list of the mq gas sensors often seen being used in arduino smoke alarm or breathalyser projects.
Based on the concentration of the gas the sensor produces.
Introduction to gas sensor.
When there is an increase in polluting gases the resistance of the gas sensor decreases along with that.
Some of the alternatives of the mq2 gas sensor are mq 6 m 306a aq 3 sensors.
They are best to smell gas in indoors at room temperature by connecting load resistor as variable one we can calibrate the sensor gas detection sensitivity more or less.
Various gas sensors are available in the market but the most commonly available series is the mq series.
Basically every mq sensors has one heater inside with an electro chemical sensor.
Olimex 2015 mq gas and air quality sensors 1.
A gas sensor is a device which detects the presence or concentration of gases in the atmosphere.
Various gasses like lpg carbon monoxide co methane smoke alcohol etc can be monitored using these sensors.
Goal of the guide.
Mq series semiconductor gas sensor application gas leak detection for houses workshops commercial building fire safety detection system.
I also have 2 of these set up as analog sensors on my enviro phat connected pizero.
To measure ppm using mq 135 sensor we need to look into the rs ro v s ppm graph taken from the mq135 datasheet.
Sensor detects heater voltage.
This sensor is also used for air quality monitoring gas leak alarm and for maintaining environmental standards in hospitals.
Read the values of a mq sensor 2.
Mq 6 lpg and methane.
Methane butane lpg smoke.
Mq 4 methane ch 4 and natural gas.
