520 |a Nowadays, the Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding its application into various sectors which is very useful to be put into good use for monitoring systems such as gas analysers. It is a crucial equipment used by professionals to measure gas composition in containers and pipelines from various places such as construction sites and factories. However, Malaysians rely solely on imported gas analysers which are ready made and comes with very little monitoring features. Besides that, little has been said on the development of a gas analyser including the architectural design integrated with a monitoring mechanism for non-industrial application such as quantifying gas composition in research centres and laboratories. Hence, a portable IoT based gas analyser equipped with monitoring system prototype for non-industrial application is proposed in this study to address the limitation of the abovementioned issues. The targeted group in this study will be amongst the public and institution of higher education who do not require industry-grade accuracy in terms of measurement values. In addition, optimisation of measurement system and gas chamber design was developed to ensure good performance of the gas analyser along with its monitoring system. In this study, the hardware modules include a combination of design using Raspberry Pi and Arduino architecture. Whereas, software modules used are all open source based. Several experiments were conducted to find the most optimum design for the gas measurement system and the gas chamber which comprises of gas direction and flow rate. Other than that, the device was tested in a laboratory with existing syngas source and with a commercially available gas analyser in order to identify the composition of gases for benchmarking purposes. Gas flow rate experiment carried out shows a more consistent measurement in low flow rate gas flow instead of high flow rate. The difference in inconsistency of high flow rate for some sensor is up to 2%, while with low flow rate is on only 0.04%. Gas flow direction experiment shows that as long the design allows gas flows through all the sensors, the gas measurement rises and fall at about the same time. For design which the inlet and outlet are close to each other shows a delay in gas exiting the gas chamber up to three seconds. Results from the optimisation experiments were used as a reference for shaping the architecture of the gas analyser and monitoring system. In comparison with the syngas source as the benchmark, the measurement is near and consistent with an acceptable error tolerance of below 2%. The gas analyser shows a close measurement when comparison was made to a fixed composition of syngas source and a commercial gas analyser. Therefore, the prototype gas analyser developed in this study is suitable for non-industrial application. However, limitation of the study is the use of semiconductor sensors which are not as accurate and stable as sensors used for the industry-grade gas analyser. Recommendations are replacement of gas sensor, explore potential available software for integration, and more comprehensive testing of the gas analyser.
