 INTRODUCTION

• LPG is essential in our daily life .

• Now a days the use of LPG is extended to so many
applications.
• Though it is useful if it leaks tends to explosion.
• So the leakage of this gas have to detect to avoid unnecessary
explosions.
• Here we are implementing a circuit that detects the leakage of
LPG gas and alerts the user through audio-visual indications.
• This circuit can detect leakages in our home, car or in a service
station, storage tank environment.
• This unit can be easily implemented to industrial level by
upgrading its ranges, can be extended to receive “SMS
ALERTS” by using GSM modem.

Description:
•We have used MQ-6 gas sensor.
•Whenever LPG is leaked the sensor
detects and it send signal to timer circuit.
•Here we have used IC 555 timer which acts as
astable multivibrator.
•The out put of Timer given to Transistor driver
circuit which activates buzzer and LED and
alerts the user through audio-visual indications
Circuit diagram
Circuit operation:

The sensor is used to detect the LPG gas and the

OUTPUT pin of sensor module goes high .
 This signal drives timer IC 555 which works as a
tone generator.
Output pin of IC 555 is connected to led1 and
speaker-driver transistor SL100 through current
limiting resistors R5 and R4,led1 glows and alarms
sounds to alert the user of gas leakage.
Applications and uses:

 Security system in applications like homes,

hostels ,industries ,vehicles(LPG as fuel).
Because of its low power consumption this system
can be used in other applications like, smoke
detection and various toxic gases by doing some
modifications.
