10-2. Detection principle
[Catalytic Combustion Type]
When a combustible gas burns on the surface of a oxidation catalyst, the catalytic combustion type sensor
considers resultant combustion heat as temperature and resistance changes in the platinum wire coil, and
measures their gas concentrations.
This sensor detects any combustible gases. The detection range is from zero to the lower explosive limit.
When a high-concentrated gas over the lower explosive limit comes into contact with the sensor, it may be a
break.
