Technology Innovations
MPS Gas Sensor, employs Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) structures in their products to detect, identify, and quantify chemicals in the air.
Operating principle:
- Transducer is a micro-machined membrane with an embedded Joule heater and resistance thermometer.
- MEMS transducer is mounted on a PCB within a rugged enclosure open to ambient air.
- Measurements of the thermodynamic properties of the air/gas mixture
- Sensor data are processed by patent-pending algorithms to report accurate concentration and classify the flammable gas
Nevadanano's MPS Gas Sensor is designed to have an extended lifetime, with an average lifespan of over five years.
Applications
The device operates with a typical power requirement of 29 mW, which is relatively low for this category of product. It is designed to accurately measure the concentration of 12 different flammable and combustible gases, providing versatile applications. Additionally, it aims to deliver real-time gas detection, resulting in very good response time.
