AUTOMATED SAFETY SYSTEM FOR GAS LEAKAGE DETECTOR

The main purpose of this project is to achieve a successful working prototype
that is capable to detect the presence of gas leakage, which in this case, the Liquefied
Petroleum Gas (LPG). The device should also perform automatic response with the
implementation of an alarm system and the emergency shut down valve once the
leakage has occurred and detected. The essential part of this project is to detect the
occurrence of leakage and this is done by comparing the intensity difference of the
infrared radiation. Once this condition is true, this will lead to the alarm triggering as
well as activating the emergency shut down valve. Further research is especially done
to comprehend in some infrared radiation detector knowledge, LPG characteristics,
alarm and relay circuits. As a conclusion, this project has given the opportunity for
students to integrate theories into solving the problems related with the engineering
scope of work.
