PRODUCT INFORMATION
TGS 826 - for the Detection of Ammonia
Features:
* High sensitivity to ammonia * Quick response to low concentrations of ammonia * Uses simple electrical circuit * Ceramic base resistant to severe environment
Applications:
* Ammonia leak detection in refrigerators * Ventilation control for the agricultural and poultry industries
The sensing element of TGS826 is a metal oxide semiconductor which has low conductivity in clean air. In the presence of a detectable gas, the sensor's conductivity increases depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple electrical circuit can convert the change in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to the gas concentration. The TGS826 has high sensitivity to ammonia gas.
