  • Publication number: 20140273262
    Abstract: Provided is a catalytic combustion typed gas sensor of detecting a combustible gas having a concentration equal to or more than a predetermined value based on a raised electric resistance. Herein, combustion heat generated when a combustible gas contacts to a catalytic metal (or detection element) heated by passing electric current therethrough raises a temperature and electric resistance of the catalytic metal. The electric current is made to pass through the catalytic metal such that the temperature of the catalytic metal becomes a standby temperature which is calculated by subtracting the raised temperature portion from a desorption temperature. The combustion heat is generated when the combustible gas contacts to the catalytic metal. Note the catalytic metal adsorbs a silicone compound via a silicon (Si) poisoning process and then desorbs the resulting adsorbed silicone compound at the desorption temperature. The desorption temperature is set in the range over 350° C. to 600° C.

  • Patent number: 8815161
    Abstract: A gas-sensing element configured to measure a concentration of a specific component of a gas is mounted to a first circuit board which includes a driving circuit configured to drive the gas-sensing element. A moisture-proof material is disposed over at least one side of the first circuit board disposed in a tubular gas-sensing element case fixed to a sensor case. A gas-sensing chamber is defined by the first circuit board and an inner tubular surface of the gas-sensing element case, and opens at an open end of the gas-sensing element case to receive the gas to be monitored. A second circuit board which includes a control circuit configured to control the gas-sensing element via the driving circuit is fixed to a sensor case, and disposed in a position separate from the gas-sensing chamber such that the second circuit board is kept out of contact with the gas to be monitored.
