Abstract

Summary

Gas leakage detection system is very important in preventing accident in both domestic and industrial environment to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment. The effectiveness of this system depends on the performance and type of Gas sensors used which is responsible for detecting gas concentration and leakages. This comprehensive review evaluates the various methane quality (MQ) sensors employed in Gas leakage detection system focusing on their capabilities, limitations and applications. In the course of the review, it was discovered that MQ2 and MQ5 are versatile for domestic environment while MQ4 and MQ6 are more specialized for Methane and LPG detection. It should also be noted that MQ9 are deployed for high resolution detection of Methane and carbon monoxide. Also, the review identifies MQ135 with the largest border for air quality monitoring. Analyzing these MQ series sensors helps to offer insights into their suitability in the various gas leakage detection.
