4. Characteristics and influencing factors

4.1 Some theoretical elements

Most gas detection methods rely on the interaction between a gaseous medium and a solid (or liquid, in the case of electrochemistry). The gas to be detected must therefore come into contact with the solid: to do this, it must pass through a number of media protecting the sensitive element. The detection head assembly, as seen previously, comprises a filter, a sinter, a free space, and finally the sensitive element on which the gas will react, after adsorption (example figure 7). The species formed by the reaction then desorb and diffuse into the open air, crossing the previous...
