Application and Detection of Ammonia Sensors in Leakage of Various Toxic Gases

With the improvement of people's living standards, the requirements for industrial production and living conditions are getting higher and higher, and the demand for gas sensors is also increasing. The research and development of gas sensors, especially ammonia sensors capable of detecting toxic and harmful gases, has achieved rapid development.
Ammonia is a colorless gas with a strong pungent odor, which is lighter than air. This gas usually comes from concrete admixtures used in construction and additives and brighteners in interior decoration materials.
Prolonged exposure to ammonia may cause symptoms such as skin pigment deposition or finger ulcers in some people; when ammonia is inhaled into the lungs, it can easily enter the blood through the alveoli, combine with hemoglobin, and damage the oxygen transport function. Short-term inhalation of a large amount of ammonia can cause lacrimation, sore throat, hoarseness, cough, blood-streaked sputum, chest tightness, and dyspnea, accompanied by dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, etc. In severe cases, pulmonary edema and acute respiratory distress syndrome may occur, along with respiratory tract irritation symptoms. Therefore, the damage of alkaline substances to tissues is deeper and more severe than that of acidic substances.
Ammonia sensors are mainly used to detect and display the concentration of ammonia gas. This type of gas alarm adopts a microprocessor as the control unit and a high-performance electrochemical detection sensor, featuring high sensitivity and fast response speed. When the concentration of ammonia gas exceeds the normal level, it will emit an alarm sound in a timely manner. It is mainly composed of a gas alarm controller and a gas alarm detector. The product is widely used in metallurgy, petroleum, petrochemical, chemical industry, light industry, coking, municipal administration, gas, pharmaceutical, sewage treatment and many other special industries and fields.
The imported DDS electrochemical ammonia sensor from the UK, which is the main product of Shenzhen Wuliang Sensor Technology Co., Ltd., is an ammonia sensor without bias voltage. It is more convenient to use and cost-effective, making it an ideal choice for workers operating in harsh environments, and a reliable gas sensor worthy of users' trust.
