INTRODUCTION
.An LPG gas sensor is a one kind of device which is used
to sense the presence of hazardous LPG gas leak in
service station ,cars, storage tank and homes.
.this sensor is attached to an alarm circuit to give an alert
to the operator through a buzzer sound in the area
where the gas leak is occurring.
.the LPG gas sensor is also used to detect cigarette,
smoke ,toxic gases , combustile ,propane ,butane etc.
. An LPG gas is a versatile fuel used in homes , but the
leakage of lpg could lead a disaster.
.To aware of leakage and avoid any mishappening there
are different product to notice the leakage .
.here we have designed a microcontroller based LPG
detector circuit.
.Whenever LPG gas leakage occurs ,then this system
notices and gives an alert through the buzzer which is
attached to the circuit .
.the entire system is easy to design who have some basic
knowledge of electronics and programming .
.the proposed system uses an LPG gas when LPG gas
leakage occurs.
.We have used an LPG gas sensor module to detect the
LPG leakage occurs it gives high pulse on its DO PIN and
aruduino always reads it DO PIN.
.When the aruduino board gets a high pulse from a gas
sensor then it displays a message LCD display and
activates buzzer to generate a beep sound .
The required basic electronics component for designing a
microcontroller based lpg leakage detector circuit mainly
include arduino pro mini ,LPG gas sensor module
buzzer ,BC 547 transistor ,16/2 LCD ,1k resistor ,bread
board ,9 volt battery and connecting wires.

2. IMPORTANCE OF LPG LEAKAGE DETECTOR

  it is used in house as LPG leakage detector.
 It also detect alcohol so it is used as liquor
tester.
 The sensor has excellent sensitivity
combined with a quick fast response time.
 The system is highly reliable ,tamper-proof
and secure.
 In long run the maintenance cost is very less
when compared to the present systems.
 It is possible to get instantaneous results
and with high accuracy.

3.principle and features of product

. It reads the gas concentration in air.if
concentration reaches to hazardous level, it will
generate and send signals to the gas detection
panel or BMS .semiconductor type of gas
sensor is used in detector. This sensor provides
good reproducibility.
 FEATURES
.gas sampling of natural diffusion
.auto caliberated
.Replacable filter and gas sensor
.Manual caliberation
.Explosion proof enclosure is used
.Indian mfg product

4.SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

 . notices methane leak ,butane leak and
LPG leak or any such petroleum centered
gaseous material.
.generate sound when gas flow is noticed.
.transmit sms alert to consent person .
.Displaying gas outflow status that signifies
if the gas is in normal stage or not .
Automatic closure of gas source using
solenoid controller.
 Limitation are portable gas cooktop cannot
be organized this proposed project.
 LPG hand wheel cannot be controlled in
this proposed project
5.LPG SENSOR MODULE
.the below module comprises of MQ3 sensor
which is used to sense LPG gas .this module
contains a MQ3 sensor which is actually detects
LPG gas ,an LM393 comparator for comparing
the output voltage of MQ3 sensor with a
reference voltage .it gives a high o/p when LPG
gas is detected . a potentiometer is used to
control sensitivity of gas . this sensor module is
very easy to interface with microcontroller and
other . we can also make it by using MQ3 and
LM393 OR LM358.
. it comprises of an LPG gas sensor module,an
aruduino board ,LCD display and
buzzer.aruduino microcontroller controls the
entire process of this system such as reading
the o/p of an LPG gas sensor module ,sending
message to display and triggering buzzer .
