Abstract
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and propane, being flammable mixtures of hydrocarbon gases, are widely used as fuel in various applications such as homes, hostels, and industries. Our main objective for this project is to design and fabricate a gas sensing window that will autonomously open upon detecting any leakage of gases like LPG, CO2, alcohol, propane, etc. The heart of our system is the MQ-9 gas sensor, known for its high sensitivity and fast response time to various gases. This sensor will detect the presence of gas and send a signal to a microcontroller, which is pre-programmed with an algorithm to interpret these signals accurately. Upon detecting a hazardous gas concentration, the microcontroller will trigger a linear actuator to open the sliding window, thereby ventilating the area and preventing potential explosions. This innovative approach not only enhances the safety of individuals working in environments with potential gas exposure but also offers a practical solution for mitigating the risks associated with gas leaks. The system’s design integrates modern sensor technology, microcontroller programming, and mechanical actuation to create a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective gas leak mitigation tool. The anticipated outcomes of this project include increased awareness of gas safety, reduced incidence of gas-related accidents, and the provision of a blueprint for future developments in automated safety systems. By focusing on the design and fabrication of this gas sensing window, we aim to contribute to the broader field of safety engineering and promote the adoption of smarter safety solutions in various industries. Windows are essential for ventilation in homes, offices, and industrial spaces. Gas cylinders, widely used in these environments, pose a leakage risk that can cause significant harm. By designing a window that responds to gas leaks, this project aims to enhance safety and reduce accidents. In conclusion, the smart gas sensing window enhances safety by detecting gas leaks and ensuring proper ventilation. It offers a practical, cost-effective solution for mitigating gas leak risks, aiming to improve safety awareness and reduce gas-related accidents.
