- This project detects the presence of LPG in the atmosphere, The sensor capture the LPG concentration and sends analog values to the arduino. The arduino plot the analog values in the screen. This is very helpful in factories and gas stations for ensure the safety.
Real time LPG monitoring system
EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS
Gas Safety & Detection
This system provides critical, real-time safety monitoring for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leaks in kitchens or industrial environments.
- Electrochemical Sensing: Uses the MQ-5 or MQ-6 gas sensor, which is highly sensitive to butane and propane. The Arduino samples the sensor's analog output voltage; as gas concentration rises, the resistance decreases, and the voltage level recorded by the ADC increases.
- Dynamic Thresholding: The firmware includes a "Baseline Calibration" phase upon startup to account for ambient temperature and humidity, reducing false alarms.
Alert Architecture
- Multi-Stage Notification: Includes an immediate Piezo Buzzer siren and a high-intensity red blinking LED.
- Remote Monitoring: Using an ESP8266 or GSM module, the system sends an emergency push notification or SMS alert to the user's phone, allowing for remote gas-valve shutoff or emergency response.
