System, apparatus, and method for sensing gas

摘要

According to another exemplary embodiment, a method of cutting power from a source when sensing gas may be provided. The method of cutting a power from a source when sensing gas may include obtaining a gas sensing apparatus, which may a housing, at least one power relay rigidly connected to the inside of the housing, at least one sensor connected to the power relay, at least one alarm connected to the at least one sensor, at least one port power wire outlet connected to the power relay, at least one power socket connected to the power relay, a power transformer connected to the power relay, and a power inlet connected to the power transformer, connecting the gas sensing apparatus to a power supply, connecting an electrical device to the gas sensing apparatus, sensing gas by the sensor, creating a voltage that stops power flow to the at least one outlet, and applying a voltage to the at least one port power wire outlet.

1. A method for shutting down power of at least two or more power sources when sensing gas comprising:
a gas sensing apparatus comprising:
a portable housing, wherein the portable housing is equipped with mounting elements for securing the portable housing to a desired location,at least one power relay rigidly connected to the inside of the portable housing,at least one sensor connected to the at least one power relay, wherein the at least one sensor is selected from the group comprised of at least one of a carbon monoxide sensor, a H2S sensor, a fuel sensor, natural gas sensor, a butane sensor, and a propane sensor,at least one alarm connected to the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one alarm includes at least one of an audible alarm and a visual alarm,at least one port power wire outlet connected to the at least one power relay,at least one power socket that is a power source of the at least two or more power sources and is connected to the at least one power relay, wherein the at least one power socket delivers a voltage from 12V to 230V,a power transformer connected to the at least one power relay, anda power inlet connected to the at least one power transformer; connecting the gas sensing apparatus to a power supply via the power inlet to provide power to the gas sensing apparatus via the at least one power transformer; connecting an electrical device to the as sensing apparatus via the at least one power socket; connecting an external shunt trip breaker to the at least one port wire outlet; sensing gas by the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to provide a signal to the at least one alarm and the at least one power relay when gas is detected; where in response to reception of said signal:
the at least one alarm provides an indication for the detected gas; andthe least one power relay is configured to:
shut down power of the at least one power socket and power up the at least one port power wire outlet to send a power surge to the external shunt trip breaker, so that the external shunt trip breaker shuts down power of another power source of the at least two or more power sources to prevent accidental explosion corresponding to the detected gas.
