Abstract: A gas detector uses a MEMS gas sensor having: a substrate provided with a cavity and an insulating film over the cavity; a metal oxide semiconductor and a heater both provided on the insulating film. A drive circuit operates the heater with a predetermined period for a predetermined pulse duration in order to heat the metal oxide semiconductor. The drive circuit halts operation of the heater or elongates the period when a humidity sensor detects that the atmosphere is humid.

Abstract: A gas detector comprises a metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor whose resistance decreases in reducing gases and a digital information processing device that treats the output of the gas sensor and compares the output with a comparison value for gas detection. The digital information processing device extracts data representing the resistance of the gas sensor in air from the output of the gas sensor and generates the comparison value such that the larger the resistance of the gas sensor in air is, the larger the ratio between the resistance of the gas sensor in air and a resistance value corresponding to the comparison value is.

Abstract: The output of the electrochemical gas sensor is amplified, and the ambient temperature is measured by means of a temperature sensor. When the ambient temperature is above or equal to a predetermined temperature, a standard value is generated and stored and is increased when the output of the amplification circuit is larger than the standard value, and a gas is detected according to the difference between the output of said amplification circuit and the standard value.

Abstract: A CO sensor includes a solid electrolyte substrate, a sensing electrode, and a reference electrode, and outputs electromotive forces in accordance with CO concentrations. The sensing electrode and the reference electrode are provided on the same surface of the solid electrolyte substrate. The sensing electrode contains a metal oxide such as Bi2O3 that generates a positive electromotive force response when coming into contact with CO. The reference electrode contains a metal oxide such as CeO2 that generates a negative electromotive force response when coming into contact with CO.

Abstract: A central electrode 12 is arranged in a coiled heater electrode 10. They are buried in a SnO2-based inner area 6, and the entirety is covered by a filter 8. The volume of the inner area 6 is set at from 1null10null3 mm3 to 16null10null3 mm3, the total volume of the bead 4 is set at from 15null10null3 mm3 to 70null10null3 mm3, and the ratio of the total volume of the bead 4 to the volume of the inner area 6 is set at from 4 to 20 to bring the sensor resistance in CO and that in methane closer to each other and increase the selectivity from hydrogen.

Abstract: Siloxane compounds are removed from the atmospheres by silica supporting an organic sulfonic acid compound. The silica with the organic sulfonic acid compound has a specific surface area down to 500 m2/g and up to 750 m2/g and a pore volume down to 0.8 m3/g and up to 1.2 m3/g, both measured by nitrogen gas adsorption method and has a pore diameter down to 4 nm and up to 8 nm, at the peak of differential pore volume measured by nitrogen gas adsorption method. The durability of gas sensing element against siloxanes is improved.
