Electronic Components: 

  • Gas Sensor: GAO Tek’s hydrogen gas detector uses a sensor like a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) sensor or a solid-state sensor specifically designed to detect hydrogen gas molecules. These sensors change their electrical properties in the presence of hydrogen, triggering the detection mechanism. 
  • Microcontroller/Processor: This component manages the sensor readings, processes the data, and triggers the alarm if hydrogen levels exceed safe limits. It also coordinates the functioning of various components within the detector. 
  • Display Panel: Our detectors have an interface to display gas concentrations, warning messages, and operational status. It could be an LED display, LCD screen, or even simple indicator lights. 
  • Alarm System: This includes audible and visual alarms (such as sirens, buzzers, or flashing lights) activated when hydrogen gas levels surpass safe thresholds. 
  • Communication Module (Optional): In our advanced models, there might be a communication module (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or RS-485) to transmit data to a central monitoring system or allow remote monitoring. 

Software Components: 

  • Detection Algorithm: GAO Tek’s embedded software uses specific algorithms to interpret sensor data and determine hydrogen gas concentrations accurately. This software sets thresholds for triggering alarms based on safety standards. 
  • User Interface Software: Our software manages the interaction between the user and the detector, displaying gas concentrations, setting configurations, and providing diagnostic information. 

Mechanical Components: 

  • Enclosure: We have sturdy housing that protects the internal components from environmental factors, ensuring durability and reliability. Enclosures are often made of materials resistant to corrosion or chemical exposure. 
  • Sampling System: Depending on the type of detector, there might be a sampling system that collects air samples for analysis, especially in fixed or larger-scale detectors used in industrial settings. 
  • Power Supply: This could be battery-powered for portable detectors or connected to an external power source for fixed installations. 
  • Calibration Components: Our detectors might have mechanisms or ports for calibration, ensuring accuracy over time. Calibration gases or mechanisms adjust the sensitivity of the sensors periodically.
