Gas and Particle Sensor Using Voltage and Current Behavior Between Electrodes

Abstract

A sensor for detecting properties of a gas, gas mixture, or a gas or gas mixture containing particles, all collectively referred to as a "gas". A flow tube contains a pair of electrodes arranged such that at least a portion of the gas flows between the electrodes. A controller applies voltage to the electrodes and measures response data from the elec­trodes representing the voltage-current relationship and volt­age breakdown between the electrodes while the gas is between the electrodes. Based on the response data, the controller determine a concentration of the gas or a concen­tration of particles within the gas.
