Industry Background
Since the start of the new century, China joined the WTO and the domestic economy grew at a high rate. The demand for automobiles stayed hot and it gradually became one of our country’s pillar industries. Under this consumption trend, the automobile industry achieved a fairly high growth rate. Moreover, this trend will keep accelerating in the next few years and continue to drive the development of the automobile industry. Nowadays, consumers’ requirements for automobile safety, environmental protection, health, and comfort are constantly rising, which directly drives the development direction of the automobile industry. Among them, the detection of gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, alcohol, and methane, which involve safety, environmental protection, and health, is widely used in the automobile industry.
Industry Pain Points
Gas Leakage Risk of Gas Cars
Cars are divided into fuel cars and gas cars. Gas cars, also known as natural gas cars, are energy-saving and environmentally friendly. However, natural gas is flammable and explosive, and gas cars themselves have the risk of gas leakage.
Air Pollution from Car Interior Parts
Car interior parts, such as plastic parts, roof felt, and seats, may be of substandard quality and not meet environmental protection requirements. They will directly cause air pollution in the car. Also, the interior parts that car owners purchase, like leather, sponge, floor mats, and adhesives, will cause air pollution in the car to varying degrees. These interiors release toxic and harmful gases such as benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, and ketone, threatening the health of passengers in the car.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning in Cars
Nowadays, car doors and windows have very good sealing performance. When the car is parked, the carbon monoxide discharged by the engine for a long time may accumulate in the car and mix with the carbon dioxide exhaled by people in the car. This leads to a decrease in oxygen. Over time, people in the car may get poisoned by carbon monoxide without realizing it.
Solutions
Detect Gas Leakage in Gas Cars
Install a gas vehicle leak alarm device. Use a semiconductor sensor or a catalytic combustion gas sensor for detection.
Detect Toxic and Harmful Gases in Car Interior
Use electrochemical sensors to detect toxic and harmful gases such as benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, and ketone contained in car interior decoration.
Detect Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Adopt an anti-drunk driving method for carbon monoxide poisoning in a sealed state. Use an electrochemical sensor for detection.
