Types of Gas Detectors
As per operating principle:
1. Catalytic: Combustibles
2. Infrared: Combustibles
3. Electrochemical: Mainly Toxic gases (H2S,Oxygen,Cl, SO2,)
In our plant, we are having Catalytic and Infrared types, they again may bedivided into point or open path detectors
1. Pointwatch Eclipse 2. Open Path Eclipse 3. Catalytic Sensor/CGS

Permeable GasCellSapphire Mirror Theory of OperationThe infrared (IR) method of
gas detection relies on the IR
absorption characteristics of
gases to determine their
presence and concentration.
IR gas detectors consist of anIR light source (transmitter) and
light detector (receiver) to
measure the intensity both at
the absorption wavelength and
a non-absorbed wavelength.
If gas is present in the optical path, it will affect the intensity of
light transmitted between the light source and the detector.
This change in intensity provides the data for determining that a
specific gas, or type of gas is present.

As the IR beam reaches the receiver, it passes through a focusing lens and then passes
through two narrow band IR filters an active and a reference wavelength. The detector
computes the ratio between the two signals
The instrument's output is a function of gas concentration times the length of thesurveillance path

Sensing chamber is black molded to prevent light
The chamber consists of a infrared LED and aphoto diode
Every 3 seconds LED emits a bunch ofcollimated lights. The light from LED does not fall
directly to Diode as it is kept in some angle
When smoke enters into the chamber, some ofthe light is scattered and detected by the photodiode.
If the resulting signal from diode is above athreshold value, LED will emit two more bunch atan interval of 2 sec. If it goes high then alarmstate will be latched.
