Methods and Systems for Determining a Target Gas Concentration in a Fluid Environment
16 Jun 22
A system and method of determining a target gas concentrations in a fluid environment using a gas sensor that improves the efficiency and accuracy of the gas sensor's measurements by taking measurements of electrical characteristics of the gas sensor at different temperatures, taking measurements during a transition between a first temperature and a second temperature, taking more frequent measurements, detecting when the gas sensor has reached equilibrium, using multiple sensors, accounting for offsets and drifts, reducing the time the sensor is not live, using various algorithms, or any combination thereof.

Method for measuring gas concentrations based on sensor response times
30 Mar 20
A method for measuring hydrogen concentration in a gas includes exposing a PdNi alloy thin-film gas sensor to the gas, alternately controlling the temperature of the PdNi alloy thin-film gas sensor between a first temperature for a first period of time and a second temperature for a second period of time while the PdNi alloy thin-film sensor is exposed to the gas, continuously monitoring the resistance of the PdNi alloy thin-film gas sensor during the first and second periods of time, and calculating the hydrogen concentration as a function of a transient in the resistance of the PdNi alloy thin-film sensor measured at a time that the temperature transitions between the first temperature and the second temperature.
