3. INTRODUCTION
 The presence of dangerous LPG leakage in the
homes can be detected using the Ideal Gas
Sensor.
 This unit can be easily integrated into a unit that
can sound an alarm or make a call on your
mobile.
 It can also turn off the power supply of our home.
 The sensor can also sense iso-butane,
propane,LNG and cigarette smoke.

DESCRIPTION
 MQ-5 LPG SENSOR : It senses the leakage of
LPG. The out put of this sensor is high at normal
condition. The output goes low, when it senses
the LPG.
 MICROCONTROLLER: It is the whole control of
the project. It controls the Exhaust fan, LED and
Buzzer when LPG leak occurs. The input/ output
ports of the microcontroller is used for this.
 EXHAUST FAN : This is used to send out the
LPG to space and then the concentration of LPG
is reduced.

6.  Buzzer : When buzzer is blowing, this indicates
the leakage of LPG gas. It is 12 V DC operated
buzzer.
 LED : When LED is glowing, this indicates the
leakage of LPG gas. It is 1.2 V DC operated LED.

7. WORKING
 The output of the sensor goes LOW as soon as
the LPG sensor senses any gas leakage from the
storage.
 This is detected by the microcontroller and gives
direction to make a call using GSM Module and to
turn off the power supply using by power control
unit.
 MQ-5 semiconductor sensor is Combustible Gas
Sensitive. The MQ-5 gas sensor is made up of
SnO2 which has lower conductivity in clean air
 A simple electro-circuit is used here which is used
to convert the changing conductivity into
corresponding output signal of gas concentration

8.  Methane and Propane can be detected easily by
MQ-5 sensor because it has high sensitivity
towards Methane, Propane and Butane.
 It is a low cost sensor suitable for different
application.

11. ADVANTAGES
 Detection and prevention of any sort of gas
leakage.
 Cost efficient.
 Less complex circuit.
 No environmental effect or no effect of physical
conditions.

12. APPLICATION
 Domestic gas leakage detector
 Homes
 Portable gas detector
 factories
 Industrial Combustible gas detector
 Lpg storage
 Gas car

13. CONCLUSION
 The previous listed applications of this GSM
based security system are based on the fact that
this system is able to detect any sort of gas
leakage.
 In case there is a gas leakage in a house,hotel or
in a laboratory, this security system will
simultaneously complete two tasks Firstly it will
turn off the power supply, secondly it will connect
a call to the predefined number listed in the
program.
 Due to this simultaneous action accidents can be
prevented.
