This book discusses the physical properties of noble fluids, operational principles of detectors based on these media, and the best technical solutions to the design of these detectors. Essential attention is given to detector technology: purification methods and monitoring of purity, information readout methods, electronics, detection of hard ultra-violet light emission, selection of materials, cryogenics etc. The book is mostly addressed to physicists and graduate students involved in the preparation of fundamental next generation experiments, nuclear engineers developing instrumentation for national nuclear security and for monitoring nuclear materials.
This title is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of industrial gas detection. It covers a variety of topics, including installation standards, detector selection, calibration and testing, regulations, and features useful case studies throughout.
There were two reasons that induced me to plan and to organize this book, the first was the lack of a text entirely devoted to the subject of gas sensors, notwithstanding some books devoted to the various kind of chemical sensors have recently been published. The second reason was the need of introducing the basic topics of gas detection mechanisms to a growing number of researchers active in research and development laboratories of industries and uni versities. The field of chemical sensors is indeed in fast and consistent growth, as it is proved by the increased number of participants to the congresses that were recently held on this subject, namely the Third Meeting on Chemical Sensors (S...
The most complete reference on designing, specifying, engineering, and using a gas monitoring system.
Gases are the key components in many industrial and domestic activities. The specific demand for gas detection and monitoring has emerged particularly as the awareness of the requirements to protect the environment has grown. Gas sensors can find applications in numerous fields, such as in fire detectors, leakage detectors, controllers of ventilation in cars and planes, and alarm devices warning the overcoming of threshold concentration values of hazardous gases. The current research to enhance the two basic functions (recognising a particular gas and transducing the gas recognition into a sensing signal) of gas sensors is an indispensable tool to create new technologies which are compatible with sustainable society. This book collects chapters from a number of experts in the gas sensing field with different research backgrounds. It can serve as a useful reference for researchers to have a comprehensive understanding of the development of gas sensors and the trends for future investigation.
This Open Access text describes the processes involved in gaseous radiation detection, ideal for nuclear and particle physics researchers.
In the last 15 years, the field of fire and gas mapping has grown extensively, yet very little is published on the subject. The text includes deeper discussions on important engineering factors associated with fire and gas detection, along with anecdotes and examples. It will guide the readers on what to consider when you do not have access to proprietary guides, and how to interpret the design process even when one does not have access to a guidance document. The text covers important topics including visual flame detection, flame detection mapping, infrared point gas detector (IRPGD), infrared open path gas detector (OPGD), ultrasonic/acoustic design, and gas detection mapping. The book pl...
