Automated calibration of gas sensor system
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11860175B2) discloses a method and system for operating a sensor system that includes at least one sensor for detecting an analyte gas and a control system. The method involves electronically interrogating the sensor without the need for a calibration gas with a known concentration of the analyte gas or a simulant. By measuring the sensor's response to the electronic interrogation signal, the operational status of the sensor is determined. The control system then adjusts reporting parameters of the sensor, such as range, resolution, cross-sensitivity parameter, set point, or alarm signal, based on the results of the interrogation.
The system described in the patent comprises at least one sensor for detecting an analyte gas and a control system. Similar to the method, the control system electronically interrogates the sensor without the use of a calibration gas with a known concentration of the analyte gas or a simulant. The control system then modifies reporting parameters of the sensor, such as range, resolution, cross-sensitivity parameter, set point, or alarm signal, based on the results of the interrogation. The patent also mentions that the sensor can be an electrochemical sensor or a combustible gas sensor, highlighting the versatility of the system in detecting various types of gases.
