Smart Home Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Cylinder Monitor

Renesas' smart home LPG stand placed under the cylinder can easily detect gas leaks

Image of Renesas Smart Industrial Gas Alarm (click to enlarge)LPG cylinders can be very dangerous and even fatal if they explode so monitoring for gas cylinder leakage is critical. Renesas' LPG is a heavier-than-air gas, and the smart LPG stand placed under the cylinder can easily detect gas leaks. In addition, weight detection is performed using a load cell, indicating when a refill is needed. Users can even access the cylinder usage data or enable automatic reordering by accessing the optional Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) functionality.

Features and Benefits

  • Low-cost system with an RA2A1 MCU that includes a built-in op amp, high-resolution ADC (16-bit), and SDADC(24-bit) for accurate weight measurement
  • Cortex®-M23 core MCU, UART option can be utilized to transfer data
  • Low power solution can work with 7.5 V battery/isolated AC flyback supply
  • LED indication is given for refilling-time indication
  • Buzzer indication for safety/security risk from a gas leak
