GAS LEAKAGE DETECTION SYSTEM
OBJECTIVE
·
The objective of a gas leakage detection system is to monitor
and detect the presence of potentially harmful or flammable gases in an
environment, alerting occupants or relevant personnel to take prompt actions to
prevent accidents or health hazards.
· These systems use sensors to detect gas levels, and upon detection, they trigger alarms, notifications, or automatic shut-off mechanisms to ensure safety.
APPARATUS REQUIRED
·
LCD display
·
LED Indication
·
MSP430 Microcontroller
·
Buzzer
WORKING PROCESS
·
A gas leakage detection system typically works by using gas
sensors to monitor the surrounding air for the presence of certain gases.
·
These sensors detect changes in gas concentration and send
signals to a control unit. If gas levels exceed a predefined threshold, the
control unit triggers an alarm, which could be a sound, visual indication, or
even a notification to a connected device.
·
This helps alert individuals to the potential gas leak,
allowing them to take appropriate action, such as shutting off the gas supply
and ventilating the area.
·
The project involves
setting up sensors, connecting them to a microcontroller or a dedicated gas
detection unit, and programming the system to respond.
