Development of Carbon Monoxide Sensor Based on Composite Electrochemical Elements

A carbon monoxide sensor with composite detection capabilities for carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and nitric oxide gases was developed using gas concentration detection technology based on composite electrochemical components to address the issue of crossinterference between exhaust gas and sulfur-containing gases from diesel vehicles and gas detection by mining carbon monoxide sensors. The sensor gas detection module includes two parts: a carbon monoxide hydrogen sulfide dual gas detection module and a nitric oxide gas detection module. The module is composed of gas detection components and signal detection circuits. An experiment was conducted to study the effects of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide gases on the detection results of carbon monoxide gas concentration. Through data analysis and linear fitting, a gas cross-interference compensation algorithm formula was obtained. The based on composite electrochemical elements has a measurement error of less than 5% in the mixed gas environment, meets the requirements of the AQ6205-2006 coal mine electrochemical carbon monoxide transducer, and can meet the technical requirements for the accurate detection of carbon monoxide gas of an underground rubber-tire truck transportation roadway.
