Temperature control of semiconductor metal-oxide gas sensors by means of fuzzy logic
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electrical conductivity of metal-oxide gas sensors depends on the gas atmosphere and on the temperature of the sensor. Temperature control systems for gas sensors were developed as a conventional PlD-controller. Problems appear in cases of hard disturbances (i.e. rough gas flows) to fix a temperature point that has its origin in the high non-linearity of the controlled system. A new concept based on fuzzy logic was developed to gain better temperature stabilization in atmospheres with hard disturbances. This control system was adapted in the laboratory and tested in a real sensor application. The fuzzy system can optimize the system for different disturbances.

Along with high sensitivity in detecting gas, the response and recovery times of semiconductor gas sensors are of considerable importance for real life applications. In most cases, the recovery time is more than the response time. At the same time, water vapor present in the ambient, is chemisorbed on the tin oxide, SnO2 surface and the water molecules dissociate into hydroxyl species, which ac...
