Executive Summary
Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas and very difficult to be detected by people. In order to prevent people from Carbon monoxide poisoning, our team decided to design a window control based on gas sensor system for the Design Project.
The project connects a Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Gas Sensor Alarm Detector to windows. The system monitors the Carbon monoxide concentration continuously using the Carbon monoxide detector. And then the signal generated by the Carbon monoxide detector will be sent to a controller. When the exposure of the concentration is above 30 ppm, the Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Gas Sensor Alarm Detector will alarm and the windows will open automatically within 3 minutes. Our group generate 4 design alternatives which are carbon monoxide detector connected to power windows, magnetic levitated windows, windows with motor or windows with attached magnets. According to the comparisons between the alternatives about requirements, theories, practicability, convenience, costs, looks and noise, our group chose the carbon monoxide detector with motor to control the windows as our proposed design.
The system is ease of use as it is compact and portable. It is able to be attached to the window and the weight is less than 5 kg. The system should be cheap to product and market and should be able to use for at least 5 years. The system is environmentally friendly so that it will not make noise above 85 dB or emit extra greenhouse gases in operation. Our team has also made sure that the design is safe to use as it does not have
