Electronic nose applied to automotive fuel qualification

摘要

The paper presents primary results of eNose system for the classification of different types of gasoline, heating oil and diesel oil. Additionally, the system can indicate exceeding levels of one or more volatile organic compounds (VOC's) that are often present in fuels. Measurements were carried out using a gas measurement system based on a thick film semiconductor sensor matrix. Obtained results prove that it is possible to develop systems, based on semiconductor sensors and eNose approach that can be used for the purpose of screening tests for fuel quality.
