10. September 2003 10 MEC, Cardiff University Laboratory of Microsystems for Biomedical and Environmental Applications CALORIMETRIC SENSORS Z-axis Displacement at 10.5 Volts (also showing deformation) Thermal distribution at 10.5 Volts Calorimetric sensor detects the heat that is a result of a burning reaction. The reaction takes place inside the ceramic pellet impregnated with the catalyst (heated at 300-500 o C) and involves oxygen and a flammable gas. The resulting heat is detected as an imbalance of the bridge in which the sensor is connected 20 decembrie 2004

11. September 2003 11 MEC, Cardiff University Laboratory of Microsystems for Biomedical and Environmental Applications Design aspects The gas sensor was designed to have an uniform temperature distribution. The rounded shape of the heating resistor gives an uniform temperature distribution, with the maximum temperature in the center of the circle.
