37 Chapter 3 Catalytic Combustible Gas SensorsChapter 3 Catalytic CombustibleGas SensorsCatalytic bead Sensors are used primarily to de-tect Combustible gases. They have been in usefor more than 50 years. Initially, these sensorswere used for monitoring gas in coal mines, wherethey replaced canaries that had been used for a longperiod of sensor itself is quite simple in design and iseasy to manufacture. In its simplest form, as used inthe original design, it was comprised of a single plati-num wire. Catalytic bead Sensors were produced allover the world by a large number of different manu-facturers, but the performance and reliability of thesesensors varied widely among these various manufac-turers. A Catalytic bead sensor is shown in Figure of OperationCombustible gas mixtures will not burn until theyreach an ignition temperature. However, in the pres-ence of certain chemical media, the gas will start toburn or ignite at lower temperatures. This phenom-enon is known as a Catalytic combustion.
