I want to design a feasible detector for a developing country, the efficiency is not the main factor. Money is a big problem here, so please suggest me some feasible cost effective techniques of sensing gas leakage.
There are several cheap gas sensors, on the market, of a very simple design. Also, there are sophisticated ones that are ¨Gas Dedicated¨. However, pressure along is not reliable. An infrared( led type) of transmitter should be contemplated with a suitable receiver designed to detect interruptions from the light source. See, leakage has many variants: Sudden and slow-discharging ones. So, depending of the source of gas, you should develop the sensor.
