A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HYDRIDE GASES AT LOW CONCENTRATIONS AND IN THE PRESENCE OF VARYING HUMIDITY LEVELS

摘要

A hydride sensor (10) includes a housing (12) with an opening (14) into which is fitted a moisture filter (16). The moisture filter (16) adsorbs moisture prior to passage of gas into the sensor housing (12) for analysis, improving the signal to noise ratio by eliminating current variations caused by changes in humidity.
