Abstract :
This work deals with the development of a self-calibrating sensor prototype for hydrogen leak detection. The operation principle of the sensor is based on the peculiar thermal properties of hydrogen that allows to distinguish it from other gases present in the environment surrounding the sensor. The sensor developed shows good linearity in the 0-100% range and is suited to detect hydrogen with sufficient sensitivity and fast response.
