Managing the Design Process of a Low-Cost Mini Device for Measuring Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide from Biogas Through Pahl & Beitz Methodology

Over time, some gas analyzer equipment has been developed that, while meeting standard objectives, fails to pass beyond the permissible safety and cost limits. Therefore, the present work aimed to develop a gas analyzer deviceGas analyzer device inspired by the Orsat gas analyzer system, minimizing the size and configuration of the same. With that objective in mind, a pocket gas analyzer device was designed and constructed applying Pahl & Beitz’s Design methodology and reducing costs analysis due to the small chamber reaction (5 mL gas sample). This deviceDevice offers the additional advantage of recovering and recycling the reactant for hydrogenHydrogen analysis and can be constructed with local materials found anywhere and be used for analyzing gases from biodigesters (biomethane and biohydrogen producers) and combustion gases.
