본 연구에서는 비분산 적외선 방식을 이용한 일산화탄소, 이산화탄소 듀얼 센서 모듈을 실현한다. 비분산 적외건 방식은 가스분자가 특정 파장의 적외선을 흡수하는 특성을 이용하여 가스의 적외선 흡수도를 측정하여 농도로 환산하는 방식이다. 비분산 적외선 방식은 수명이 길고 정밀도가 높아 기존의 접촉식(화학식) 센서에 비해 우수한 특성을 가지고 있다. 중요한 기술은 NDIR의 핵심부분인 광 공동의 설계 기술과 센서의 성능을 최종 결정짓는 농도-온도 교정 기술이다. 현재까지 개발된 광공동 기술은 $CO_2$ 센서의 단일 센서 방식이었다. 본 연구에서는 이 기술을 접목한 일산화탄소까지 동시에 측정할 수 있는 광 공동기술과 교정기술을 연구개발하여 하나의 광 공동으로 이산화탄소와 일산화탄소를 동시에 측정 할 수 있는 고기능 센서를 실현하는 것이다.

This paper describes the temperature compensation algorithm using thermopile detector for nondispersive infrared methane gas sensor. From the output voltage of thermistor that is attached onto the infrared detector, the ambient temperature was extracted. The effects of temperatures on the properties of sensor module (the characteristics of narrow bandpass filter, optical cavity and infrared lamp, and gas absorption coefficient times optical path length) have been introduced in order to implement the temperature compensation algorithm. Even though the measurement error of developed sensor module was in the range of $\pm$ 1,500 ppm, after programming the temperature compensation algorithm, the developed sensor module shows a high accuracy less than +180 ppm error within $20^{\circ}C$ temperature variation.

In this paper we discuss about the practical implementation of a combined CO and CO2 dual sensor module that is adapted by NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) method that measures the absorbance of gas like CO and CO2 by using gas particles' characteristics that absorb specific wave lengths of infrared ray. NDIR has a long life time, excellent measurement and precision compared to the existing contact types or chemical types of CO2 sensors. Since optical cavity technology that had been developed until now can measure CO2 only we research and develop an optimal optical cavity design and density-temperature calibration technologies that can measure CO and CO2 at the same time and is important to decide the performance of the sensor module according to well-designed wave guides of the different length.

This paper describes NDIR $CO_{2}$ gas sensor that shows the characteristics of temperature compensation. It consists of novel optical cavity that has two elliptical mirrors and a thermopile that includes ASIC chip in the same metal package for the amplification of detector output voltage and temperature sensor. The newly developed sensor module shows high accuracy ($less\;than {\pm}40\;ppm$) throughout the measuring concentration of $CO_{2}$ gas from 0 ppm to 2,000 ppm. After implementing the calculation methods of gas concentration, which is based upon the experimental results, the sensor module shows high accuracy less than ${\pm}5\;ppm$ error throughout the measuring temperature range ($15^{\circ}C\;to\;35$^{\circ}C$) and gas concentrations with self-temperature compensation.

This paper describes about the simulation and the experimental results of optical cavity with curved mirror surface and vertical mirror surface to improve the light intensity and efficiency of the optical sensors. When we use the vertical mirror surface, the distribution of light reached to the filter surface of detector shows an elliptical shape. Whereas, the curved mirror surface focuses the light into circular shape. Therefore, due to focusing effects in case of using curved mirror surface, the light intensity per unit area has been improved. Consequently, the output voltage of gas sensor has been expected to increase. Based upon the simulation, the experiment of gas sensor has been conducted with $CO_2$ gas from 0ppm to 2,500 ppm at 250 ppm step and $25^{\circ}C$, 45%R.H. ambient. The output voltage of gas sensor that has a curved mirror surface increases approximately 200 mV than that of vertical mirror surface.

Recently, we can find news about toxic and combustible gas accident. So, we have to develop gas detector that can measure gas at dangerous area for preventing gas accidents. In this paper, we calculate a approximation function from sensor's output using the linear regressiong. And we develop software algorithm using Neville's algorithm for measuring gas concentration. Finally, we compare our algorithm with combustible gas detectors that are already developed, by using standard gas samples manufactured Korea Gas Safety. As a result of this experiment, we confirm that performance of our algorithm is more improved than performance of already developed combustible gas detectors. In the future, we'll research how to improve reliability from using count, temperature and humidity. And we'll design hardware applied explosion proof for safety.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 오목 반사경으로 형성된 광 공동 구조의 비문산 적외선 (NDIR) 가스센서를 제작하였다. 증폭비는 18,000 배, 램프 off 시간은 3초로 일정하게 하고 펄스 modulation 시간을 200ms에서 600ms까지 변화시켰을 때. 300ms에서 가장 효율적인 출력신호를 확보할 수 있었다. 그리고 $5^{\circ}C$에서 $45^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 온도를 변화시키면서 이산화탄소의 농도를 0ppm에서 2000ppm까지 증가시켰다. 이때, 약 400mV의 전압변화가 있었다. 온도가 상승함에 따라 0ppm에서의 출력전압은 감소하는 양상을 나타내었다. 또한 온도변화 대비 출력특성과의 상관성 해석을 통하여 온도 보상 방법을 고안하였으며, 본 연구에서 제작한 센서모듈의 응답시간은 약 30초였다.

In this paper, we implemented the prevention of oil mixing accidents caused by stereotypes or novice drivers at gas stations. After the CO gas concentration of the fuel tank is measured using the MQ-9 gas sensor, the gasoline and diesel are distinguished from each other. This is decided by using a servomotor to lock of the fueling nozzle to prevent the mixing of oil. In addition, car washes time display is implemented by using infrared sensor to save the time and to provide convenience for customers who want to wash car after fueling.
