Abstract
The physical principles of detecting combustible gases in air were analyzed , and a method for determining combustible gases in air was proposed. The m ethod is based on measuring the heat effects of chemical reactions using th ermosensitive piezoelectric quartz crystal vibrators. Experimental results are presented. Piezocatalytic transducers were developed for determining co mbustible impurities in air with the detection limit of 10(-2) vol %.
