Semiconductor C3H8 gas sensor – MQ6 propane sensor

Semiconductor C3H8 gas sensor Introduction

Semiconductor C3H8 gas sensor adopts advanced production technology, using metal oxide semiconductor gas sensitive materials to make gas sensitive eleenmts. The semiconductor C3H8 gas sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity to propane, strong anti-interference ability, low power consumption, fast response speed, good stability and long life. When propane gas is present, the higher the concentration of that gas in the air, the higher the conductivity of the propane sensor. This change in conductivity can be translated into an output signal corresponding to the gas concentration using a simple circuit.

Semiconductor C3H8 gas sensor Features

1, the machine is small in size, light in weight, easy to install, can be mounted in portable, fixed, pipe type and other appearance sensors used.

2, stainless steel protective net, high protection, easy to clean effective protection from particulate matter and impurities, easy to maintain and use.

3, high-performance chip, breakthrough manufacturing process, product performance significantly improved.

4, long service life, low cost, simple driving circuit.

5, high resolution, high sensitivity, fast response speed, strong anti-interference force.

Semiconductor C3H8 gas sensor Parameters

Product name: Propane semiconductor sensor

Detection gas: propane

Propane detection range: 300-10000ppm

Standard package: Plastic seal

Loop voltage: ≤24V DC

Load resistance: adjustable

Temperature/humidity: 20°C, 2°C; 55% soil 5%RH

Attention

1. Avoid exposure to volatile silica vapors.

2, avoid sensor exposure to high concentration of corrosive gas.

3, avoid alkali, alkali metal salt, halogen pollution.

4, avoid the sensor contact with water or immersed in water, easy to cause the sensor sensitivity characteristics decline.

5, avoid applying too high voltage, if the voltage applied to the sensor heating is higher than the specified value, even if the sensor has not received physical damage or damage, it will cause damage to the lead/or heater, and cause the sensor sensitive characteristics to decline.

FAQs

What is propane gas?

Propane is pure. There’s only one gas. Propane, whose chemical formula is CH₂CH₃ and whose molecular weight is 44.10, ₃ is a compound, colorless, liquidable gas. Slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether. It mixes with air to form an explosive mixture.

What is a propane gas sensor?

Propane sensor is mainly used for the detection of propane gas (C3H8), generally based on semiconductor or catalytic combustion principle. Propane is the main component of liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied petroleum gas can be used as fuel, because of its high calorific value, no smoke, no carbon slag, easy to operate and use, has been widely used in people’s life.

What are the uses of propane gas?

① The largest use of propane is to do liquefied petroleum gas with butane, mainly used as fuel.

② Propane is an important raw material for cracking ethylene.

③ The technology of catalytic dehydrogenation of propane to propylene has been industrialized.

(4) Propane gas phase nitration to produce mixed nitrocompounds: 1-nitropropane and 2-nitropropane, nitroethane and nitromethane. Nitropropane is a good solvent for vinyl and epoxy resins. Nitromethane is used as a fuel filler for racing cars.

⑤ Propane can be oxidized to produce propylene oxide, and the by-products are methanol, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and acetic acid, but the separation is very troublesome and has not been popularized.

It is widely used as refrigerant in oil refining, chemical industry and natural gas processing operation.
