20100252451 | GAS MONITOR - Exposure of diffusion limited sensors to target gas concentrations above their range can result in non-linearity and slow recovery times. Applications where both a high concentration and a low concentration need to be measured in succession are problematic if the high concentration gas adversely affects the response of the sensor to low gas concentrations. By employing two sensors, one for high range and one for low range gas concentrations, and a means to isolate the low range sensor from the gas source whenever the concentration exceeds a threshold value as determined by the high range sensor and reengage the low range sensor when the target gas concentration falls below the threshold, allows both the measurement of target gas to high concentrations as well as the high resolution measurement of target gas at low concentrations. | 10-07-2010 |
