ABSTRACT:
An equipment or environment health monitor having a micro gas apparatus incorporating a phased heater array, concentrator, separator and detector for achieving the sensitivity needed for detection of extremely small amounts of fluids. The apparatus is capable of detecting trace gases, and may be utilized to detect “fault” gas of operating equipment so as to determine, for example, the prospects of imminent failure of the equipment. Also, the micro gas apparatus is capable of detecting miniscule amounts of pollutants in ambient environment of a conditioned or tested space. The output of the apparatus may go to a microcontroller and/or processor for prompt analysis. The output from the microcontroller or processor may go to either a transmitter/receiver for wireless communication or a modem for utility line, cable or optical communication with a station for data and results observation and review.
