Fire prevention in gas stove with gas sensors

Abstract

This paper presents to use gas sensors to implement a safer home from a fire caused by the gas stove. Nowadays, the ratio of the families that consist of one person or old people only is increasing and thus the probability of the fire caused by forgetting turning off the gas stove is also increasing. In order to prevent this kind of fire, the presented appliance detects the poisonous gases generated on burning of pots or food, and it closes the gas valve automatically using a motor on the detection of the emergent situation. We implement the presented idea to the prototype appliance and prove the correctness of its function. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
