  • Patent number: 6647783
    Abstract: A monitoring system, such as used to monitor the presence and/or concentration of gases or other such fluids, includes a housing through which fluid is permitted to pass and which includes a heater element. The housing includes one or more vent hole/vent plug combinations and fluid, including gas and/or liquid, passes through the vent hole/vent plug combinations to flow into, through and/or out of the housing. A heater element is located in the housing and maintains the housing interior above the dew point to facilitate proper operation of the sensor element. The heater element, in conjunction with the vent hole/vent plug combinations, facilitates a heated-air plume through the housing to avoid the build up of moisture therein and to expose the sensor element to a steady stream of ambient atmosphere for monitoring the gas concentrations in same.

  • Patent number: 5879631
    Abstract: A gas detection system and method selectively detects a gas in the presence of nonselected contaminant gases. The system includes a housing having a collection chamber and a sampling chamber containing a variable resister and a molecular sieve. A molecular sieve is positioned between the chambers for selectively passing a target gas from the collection chamber to the sampling chamber. An organic molecular sieve permits only selected low molecular weight gases, such as ammonia and carbon monoxide to come into contact with the sensor.
