Assessment of Power Supply Modes for Thermocatalytic Sensors in Explosion Hazard Monitoring Systems of Technogenic Facilities

Abstract

The objective of this work is a solution search to enhance the accuracy of explosive gas and vapor detection devices within explosion hazard monitoring systems for technogenic environments. The study employs analytical methods for investigating the operation of thermocatalytic sensors under various power supply modes of their sensitive thermoelements, based on classical principles of electrical engineering, thermodynamics, and catalysis, as well as experimental studies of sensor performance under different supply conditions, followed by evaluation and generalization of the theoretical and experimental results.
