Evaluation of the new cosmos sensor CH-01 for the detection of methane, in terms of selectivity and long-term stability

For the last few years, Gaz de France has been interested in natural gas detection, which could become an additional service for its customers. Since these detectors would be linked to a shut-off valve, included in the new smart gas meter Dialogaz, they have to be reliable. That is why Gaz de France defined a protocol to evaluate sensors in terms of sensitivity to methane, selectivity to other gases and long-term stability. In the Gaz de France Research Centre laboratories, several commercialized sensors have already been tested among them the sensor CH-01, manufactured and distributed by New Cosmos Electric Co. Ltd, and distributed in Europe by Schlumberger Industries Gas Division, under the name CH-M.
