| Abstract | Uncoated SAW delay lines performing as thermal probes are applied for detection of gases and gas flows. Analysis of the forced convection is performed for 13 analytes in linear approximation by neglecting their chemical interaction with ambient. Experimental detection is performed for H2, He, Ar, CH4, NH3, N2, O2, dry air, using SAW delay lines on SiO2, LiNbO3, Bi12 GeO20, Bi12SiO20 at operating temperatures T = 25 - 165 °C and frequencies f = 21 - 263 MHz. SAW responses are measured as a function of concentration n, flow rate u, temperature coefficient of velocity (TCV) and temperature T. Efficient selectivity and monitoring of the responses are demonstrated by a proper selection of TCV and T. Detection of 0.35% CH4, 0.25% H2 and 0.1% NH3 in N2 is performed. Linear output for u = 50 - 2000 ml/min is obtained. |
