What Is a Hydrogen Sulfide Detector?

Semiconductor technology hydrogen sulfide gas detector is designed to monitor the concentration of hydrogen sulfide gas in the ambient air. Its measurement range is from the standard 0-20 / 50 / 100ppm (adjustable at the work site) to the high measurement range 10,000 ppm. This product uses solid metal oxide semiconductor sensing technology. The sensor consists of two sheets: one is a heating sheet and the other is a gas-sensitive sheet that is sensitive to hydrogen sulfide gas. Both wafers are mounted on a silicon chip by vacuum coating. The heating plate raises the working temperature of the gas-sensitive plate to a level capable of reacting with hydrogen sulfide gas. There are metal oxides on the gas sensitive sheet, which can dynamically show the change of hydrogen sulfide gas concentration. Its sensitivity can range from one-billionth to one-hundredth. This product is sturdy and durable, and can maintain stable work for more than ten years in most industrial environments.

The company's ten-year proportional quality guarantee saves users from the cost of expensive sensor replacement. In ten years, the replacement cost of semiconductor sensors only accounted for 26% of electrochemical sensors.
The hydrogen sulfide sensor provides users with many options for output signal selection. Multi-channel controllers are based on microprocessors, programmable logic controllers, and microcomputers, and can be applied to any system and network. The following are some typical system building schemes.
l 4-20mA
The sensor directly feeds the 4-20mA signal directly to the multi-channel controller. The controller repeatedly displays these signals and also provides backup relays and RS-485 outputs.
l 4-20mA plus local relay
The 4-20mA signal directly fed back to the multi-channel controller triggers an alarm or other response device along with the output signal from the relay. The controller also provides backup relays and RS-485 outputs.
l RS-485 communication plus local relay
The sensors are connected via the RS-485 communication bus to trigger alarms or other reaction equipment together with the output signal of the relay. The programmable logic controller provides all data processing, display and historical records.
l 4-20mA plus RS-485 communication bus
The 4-20mA signal of the sensor is imported into the DA-1 data module to be converted into a signal that can be processed by RS-485. The DA-1 data module feeds data back to the Model 880 programmable logic controller. The controller provides all data processing, display and historical records. The programmable logic controller can be further connected to the computer through the human-machine communication interface through Citect, Wonderware or other software.
Imported original amp type electrochemical sensor, usually composed of three electrodes immersed in the electrolyte. The working electrode is made of a catalytically active metal and coated on a breathable but hydrophobic membrane. The measured gas diffuses through the porous membrane and undergoes an electrochemical oxidation or reduction reaction thereon. The nature of the reaction depends on the thermodynamic potential of the working electrode and the electrochemical (oxidation or reduction) properties of the analysis gas. In the electrochemical reaction, the electrons participating in the reaction flow in (reduction) or flow out (oxidize) the working electrode. The working signal of the working electrode is amplified by the operational amplifier U2 to become the output signal of the instrument. The circuit also maintains the voltage of the working electrode to the value of its bias VBIAS. The reference electrode provides a stable potential for the working electrode in the electrolyte. After the reference electrode potential is compared with VBIAS, the output voltage signal is output at op amp U1, and its magnitude is exactly the same as that of the working electrode. At the same time, the circuit maintains a constant potential difference between the working electrode and the reference electrode. The measuring electrode is only the second electrode required for a complete electrochemical sensor, and its main function is to allow electrons to enter or flow out of the electrolyte.
The gas release source is located in the equipment area arranged in the open air or semi-open air. The distance between the detection point and the release source should meet the following requirements:
1. When the detection point is located on the upwind side of the minimum frequency wind direction of the release source, the distance between the hydrogen sulfide detection probe and the release source should not be greater than 2m.
2. When the detection (probing) measurement point is located on the downwind side of the minimum frequency wind direction of the release source, the distance between the hydrogen sulfide detection probe and the release source should be less than 1m.
The toxic gas release source is located in a closed or semi-closed workshop, and the hydrogen sulfide detection probe should not be more than 1m away from the release source.
Mainly used in coal mine, metallurgy, chemical industry, liquefied gas station and other industries to detect harmful gas concentrations and other harmful gases in the working environment.
