Abstract

Gas leaks that cause deadly flames have become a major issue in homes and other places where domestic gas is handled and utilized. Gas leaks cause a variety of mishaps that result in financial damage as well as personal injuries and/or loss. The project’s goal is to create a system that detects gas leaks and notifies the subscriber through alarm and status display, as well as shutting off the gas supply valve as the main safety precaution. The turning off of the supply valve prevents further gas flow to the cooker, preventing a fire breakout caused by an attempt to ignite the cooker. The device, which functions more like a first- aid kit, utilizes a usually closed solenoid valve to shut off the gas valve before asking for assistance via visual display and loud alert to anyone in the vicinity. The system is clever in that it does not cause a loud nuisance by constantly sounding the alarm, but rather the siren stops beeping once the concentration of the gas in the atmosphere after leaking falls below the predetermined value and the valve is opened again for regular operations. This effort will reduce injuries and losses caused by explosions caused by gas leaks, as well as enhance the safety of people and property while utilizing home cooking gas.
