Abstract
A system of gas multiple measurement having independent channels, wherein the gas measurement is carried out by a system comprising individual or redundant sensors configured to take contemporaneous double redundancy measures, such as contemporaneous measurement of flammable and/or toxic gases, with detection of various gases which, when present in the air and not detected, may cause the formation of explosive and/or toxic mixtures.
Claims10
A module for multiple gas measuring comprising:
- a module head,
- a sensor-transmitter body,
- a filter, and
- a cover body enclosing the sensor-transmitter body and the filter, wherein the cover body is connected to the module head for assembling said module,
- wherein said sensor-transmitter body comprising:
- a first measure channel comprising a first controller, a first sensor, and a second sensor for measuring substance X, and
- a second measure channel comprising a second controller, a third sensor, and a fourth sensor for measuring substance Y,
- wherein said first and second measure channels being independent mutually, said measure channels being configured for allowing redundant measures of two substances present in air to be measured, and
- wherein furthermore the filter is configured to be easily cleaned and disassembled when it is necessary to replace it or the sensors.
6 more elements
A measuring process being implemented in a first measure channel of a measure module for multiple gas measuring comprising the following steps:
- measuring concentration X1 of a substance X through a first sensor and at the same time measuring concentration X2 of the substance X through a second sensor,
- comparing the two values X1 and X2 of the substance X through a first controller and computing the difference, d=X1−X2,
- wherein if said difference d is lower than a predetermined threshold S, sending the higher value between X1 and X2, for instance X1, or
- if said difference d is higher than the predetermined threshold S, sending an alarm output signal through a display or visual or acoustic communication to the operator.
