High sensitive alcohol sensor with auto car ignition disable function

ABSTRACT:
Sensitive material of MQ-6 gas sensor is SnO2, which with lower conductivity in clean
air. When the target combustible gas exist, the sensors conductivity is higher along with the gas
concentration rising. MQ-6 gas sensor has high sensitivity to Propane, Butane and LPG, also
response to Natural gas. The sensor could be used to detect different combustible gas, especially
Methane; it is with low cost and suitable for different application.
LPG Gas Sensor (MQ6), ideal sensor for detect the presence of a dangerous LPG leak in
your Home, car or in a service station, storage tank environment. This unit can be easily
incorporate into an alarm unit, to sound an alarm or give a visual indication of the Combustible
Gas / LPG concentration. The sensor has excellent sensitivity combined with a quick response
time. The sensor can also sense iso-butane, propane, LNG and cigarette smoke.
This LPG Gas Sensor can be used to make wireless Gas leak detector in home security
system This project is High Sensitivity to LPG, iso-butane, propane. This also can sense to
alcohol and smoke, but with poor sensitivity. This project is designed to detect the LPG from
100parts per million (PPM) to 10,000 PPM. Whenever LPG is detected, the sensor produces the
output voltage, which is depended on the amount of gas leakage. This voltage drives the
transistor into saturation region. A buzzer is connected to produce audible alert signal.
This project uses regulated 5V, 750mA power supply for charging the battery. 7805 three
terminal voltage regulator is used for voltage regulation. Bridge type full wave rectifier is used to
rectify the ac output of secondary of 230/18V step down transformer.

POWER SUPPLY:
The input to the circuit is applied from the regulated power
supply. The a.c. input i.e., 230V from the mains supply is step down by the transformer to
12V and is fed to a rectifier. The output obtained from the rectifier is a pulsating d.c
voltage. So in order to get a pure d.c voltage, the output voltage from the rectifier is fed
to a filter to remove any a.c components present even after rectification. Now, this
voltage is given to a voltage regulator to obtain a pure constant dc voltage.

ADVANTAGES:

Good sensitivity to Combustible gas in wide range


High sensitivity to Propane, Butane and LPG
Long life and low cost
Simple drive circuit

APPLICATIONS:
it has wide application in various security system
it is used in Domestic gas leakage detector
Industrial Combustible gas detector
Portable gas detector
