Reliability assessment of the odor sensor measuring instrument
1*23ȫ1ȫ1
Abstracts
In this study, odor sensors were evaluated in two areas, which were reproducibility of measurements and linearity
and correlation of results. The evaluation of linearity and correlation showed that the linearity of the measurement
object substance at low, medium and high concentrations of all intervals, and correlation (R2) also appeared to
be quite high, at 0.8 to 0.9. Specific performance evaluation results of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, TVOC and
complex odor sensor to the individual substances are somewhat different, but the result have able tendencies. All
odor sensors showed detectable in all metrics at 5 ppb concentration in temperature 25oC, humidity 50%. However,
there is needs to be determined that in many cases the standard deviation is 10% or more in 5 ppb, and
reproducibility appears in the high concentration region with a standard deviation of less than 10%. Because
complex odor sensor (MOS sensor) output value is relatively accurate concentration value for the odor and the
reaction was stable, MOS sensor is to be considered methods for measuring the complex odor. Reactivity of
ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and TVOC odor sensor to the concentration of individual odor substances stably
displayed, but the reactivity of the mixture material showed the same trend, however, the hydrogen sulfide and
TVOC sensor reactivity were unstable. There is thus a need to maintain the proper temperature and humidity
environmental operating condition of odor sensors.
