 ABSTRACT

This module consists of an MQ3 sensor that actually recognizes

LPG gas, a comparator (LM393) for comparing MQ3 output voltage
with a reference voltage. When LPG gas is detected it will give high
output. A potentiometer is basically used for controlling the sensitivity
of gas detecting. Working of the Project: LPG gas sensor module is
used to detect LPG Gas.

When LPG gas leakage sensed, it will give a HIGH pulse on its DO pin
and Arduino constantly reads its DO pin. When Arduino receives a
HIGH pulse from the LPG Gas sensor module it displays the“LPG
Gas Leakage Alert” message on 16x2 LCD and stimulates buzzer
which beeps again until the gas detector module doesn't recognize the
gas in the environment.

When Arduino gets a LOW pulse from the LPG Gas detector module,
then LCD will show the“No LPG Gas Leakage” alert message.
Arduino manages the complete process of this system like reading
LPG Gas sensor module output, sending a message to LCD and
stimulating buzzer.

 Chapter no.1 ….. Introduction

LPG (liquid petroleum gas) used in kitchen gas cylinders is a mixture of propane and butane
in diverse compositions. Even though LPG is essential for use in kitchens and the public is
usually alert while using it, but still some steps need to be introduced for safety.

LPG used in cylinders (propane or butane) is highly combustible and a danger whenever it
leaks from faulty equipment such as gas regulators, gas pipes/tubes, and other components
of LPG gadgets/devices. The gas tube that fetches gas from the cylinder to the burner is
generally the first to malfunction as it experiences the most damage/erosion at its joints.
In this project, the MQ6 Gas sensor is used to detect LPG leakage. Once the
gas is detected, the LED lights up and buzzer makes sound.

Steps and Info:

1. Get correct components as given. You can buy online or offline. I buy
electronics components mostly from Amazon.

2. Start connecting the components. If you are new to connecting

components in an electronic circuit, then use a Breadboard or you can
straight up make connections using Jumper wires but it will create
problem when there will be two or more connections needed at one pin
(for example two or more different sensors 5V connection to Arduino’s
5V pin). But before soldering components on a PCB or printing a PCB
for your circuit, better try using breadboard so that any errors and
mistakes can be observed on breadboard and not after soldering.
Or do connections in your way.

3. Now after building the circuit, download the Arduino IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/
website.

4. If you are new to Arduino IDE software, then watch this video we
made specially for beginners about Arduino IDE.

5. If you know Arduino IDE then straight up copy the code we given
and paste it into the Arduino IDE sketch.

6. Connect the Arduino to your Computer/device. Select a proper port,

proper Arduino type and whatever other settings are. Here it is Arduino
UNO.

7. Compile the code and Upload it.

8. If any error occurs then try to troubleshoot it by finding/copy-pasting it into
our Solve Errors page https://electronicsprojects.in/solve-errors/, or you can
straight up paste the error on Internet and you know the rest. Also check if there are no
spelling/syntax errors in the code. Compile the code again once to check
if errors are fixed. I have given proper connections and code but still nothing is perfect.

9. Once code compiles and uploads smoothly, you can start testing the working
of your circuit/project.

10. Now for this project, take your device to a place where there is an LPG Gas stove, try to
pass very few amount of gas from the nozzle or the gas burner and check if the sensor
detects the gas. If it detects then the LED will light up and buzzer will make sound. If it
doesn’t then find what’s wrong. Check connections, code and whatever it is. As LPG is
hazardous, you can use a simple smoke from something to detect.

 Chapter no 4…….Summary

Advantages:

1. Detection of gas leakage

2. Automatic tripping of the regulator knob to the off position, which can be
reset by the user.
3. Automatic indication and message facility.

Limitations:

1. Distance: The tool works best when it's 3 cm closer to the leak source than
most other LPG gas leak detection tools.
2. Accuracy: The sensor has an accuracy of 1 V to 2.6 V.
3. Repeatability: The repeatability error in the three room conditions is less
than 10%.
4. Interference: Gas sensors can be easily affected by ambient temperature and other
gases in the air.

Applications:

1. Displaying an alert
2. Cutting off the main power supply.
3. Turning off the LPG Cylinder valve
4. Sending SMS messages
 Chapter no.5……Conclusion & Future Scope

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller that can be used to build a variety of devices,
including an LPG gas detector. An LPG gas detector is a device that can detect the
presence of LPG gas in the air. LPG gas is a flammable gas that is used in a variety of
applications, including cooking, heating, and fueling vehicles. A leak of LPG gas can be
dangerous, so it is important to have a detector to alert you to the presence of the gas.

The Arduino Uno is a relatively inexpensive and easy-to-use microcontroller, making it

a good choice for building an LPG gas detector. The detector can be built in a variety of
ways, depending on your needs and budget.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller that can be used to detect and respond to
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) leaks in various environments, including homes,
kitchens, and industrial settings. It has analog input pins that can be used to interface
with gas sensors, and it can be programmed to send alerts when a gas leak is detected.

Future Scope:

The LPG gas leakage detection and the alert system have a significant future in
improving safety and preventing accidents in households and industries. With
advancements in technology, the system can be further enhanced to provide more
accurate and efficient detection of gas leakage.
The future scope of LPG gas detectors using Arduino Uno is promising. Some of the
potential applications include:
• Remote monitoring
• Multi-gas detection
• Integration with other systems
