Abstract

The use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders in household settings is very dangerous. These objects may cause serious harm. Unidentified and poorly managed LPG gas leaks in kitchens cause most home fires and explosions. Regarding the consequences of the hazards posed by LPG, several serious mishaps happen every day all over the world. The lack of a safety system in the kitchen is the main source of this problem. Household kitchens must install self-sufficient gas detection systems to offer safety precautions. Therefore, the primary objective of my article is to create a defensive system that can identify and halt LPG gas leaks in a home’s kitchen, prevent additional consequences, and reduce the likelihood of fires and explosions. The suggested system utilizes a microcontroller unit (MCU), specifically an Arduino Nano. We design this microcontroller to execute precise instructions for preset gas concentrations. We combine the MQ2 gas sensor with the microcontroller. These instructions aim to utilize the GSM module to notify homeowners by phone, as well as to send alerts and a buzzer to anybody around the occurrence. In the case of an LPG gas leak, the LED lights will show if the solenoid valve is functioning properly and whether it is open or closed. This valve’s function is to isolate the source of the LPG gas supply. The system also incorporates an exhaust fan to promote efficient ventilation and expel any accumulated LPG gas. The plan is not only very cost-effective, but it is also quite easy to implement and can be seamlessly integrated into current domestic gas distribution systems. Based on this investigation, an independent LPG safeguarding detection system was installed in home’s kitchens. However, the system provides useful insights and facilitates house integration. Even if there are other options that are just as successful in saving lives and reducing the likelihood of LPG leaks within residential structures, the main objective is to find a solution.
