Gas monitoring
Gas monitoring is used to control the tunnel ventilation at normal operation. If and with how much power artificial ventilation by jet fans is operated depends on the measured visibility and gas concentration. Electrochemical gas sensor cells induce currents proportional to the prevailing gas concentration.
Air is fed into an electrochemical gas sensor by a capillary. The CO gas reacts at the sensor’s sensing electrode and a current proportional to the gas concentration is generated.
With these currents and the measured temperature, the gas sensor modules calculate the gas concentrations.
The gas sensor modules can be recalibrated with zero and reference gas to compensate long term drift.
