Brief Description

Description :

LPG Leak Hunter has been developed for the workers who repair domestic gas burners and stoves. Generally they use matches and paper to find any leak is present or not in the system. But unfortunately the method is itself very dangerous and any kind of accident may happen any time. LPG Leak hunter can detect the leak of the systems and alert the workers. There are three levels of safety indications with buzzer (Red, Yellow, Green light). In this gadget, primarily an imported gas sensor has been used. But this can be replaced with MEMS based metal oxide sensor for low power consumption. This has since been developed and demonstrated at the Sensor Hub. Two AA rechargeable battery (1.5V X 2 = 3V) has been used for power supply.
