Gas leakage detection, warning and stoppage system.

Abstract

Butane gas is highly inflammable and can burn even at some distance from the source of leakage. One of the preventive methods to stop accident associated with the gas leakage is to install a gas leakage detection kit at a gas supply unit and where gas is being used. The aim of this project is to present a design that automatically detects, warns and stops the gas supply in the gas supply unit. In particular, a gas sensor has been used which has high sensitivity for butane (C4H10). Gas leakage detection, warning and stoppage system consists of GSM (Global System for mobile communications) module, which warns by sending SMS to the authorized user. This project therefore developed hardware and software sub components for the gas leakage detection, warning and stoppage system.
