ABSTRACT
 While LPG is an essential need of every household, its leakage could lead to a
disaster. In this project, to alert on LPG leakage and prevent any mishappening.  If gas
leakage occurs, this system detects it and makes an alert by the buzzer and window
door was open automatically.
This project consists of LPG gas detector, Arduino Board, Buzzer and other few
components.
When Arduino gets a HIGH pulse from LPG Gas detector, it activates buzzer
which beeps again and again then window door open by DC motor.   When LPG gas
detector gives LOW pulse to arduino, it deactivates buzzer and window door closed
automatically.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
 Arduino UNO (Atmega-328) is the main unit of the system which performs the
following tasks. A signal conditioning of the Arduino UNO is done by output signal
of the sensor, provided input to Arduino. The detection results displayed on LCD and
indicate the people of danger in work place, factory, home. Buzzer activity with beep
(siren) sound is made. Then the Motor Driver open the window for the fresh air enter
the room.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM 
 This Project  contains Arduino board, LPG GAS Sensor Module, buzzer and
16x2 LCD module. Arduino controls the whole process of this system like reading
LPG Gas sensor module output, sending message to LCD and activating buzzer. We
can set sensitivity of this sensor module by inbuilt potentiometer placed on it. 
LPG gas sensor module's DO pin is directly connected to pin 18(A4) of
Arduino and Vcc and GND are connected to Vcc and GND of arduino. LPG gas
sensor module consist a MQ2 sensor which detects LPG gas. This MQ2 sensor has
a heater inside which needs some heater supply to heat up and it may takes up to 5
minute to get ready for detecting LPG gas. And a comparator circuit is used for
converting Analog output of MQ2 in digital. A 16x2 LCD is connected with arduino
in 4-bit mode. Control pin RS, EN are directly connected to arduino pin 2, 3. And data
pin D0-D7 are connected to 4, 5, 6, 7 of arduino. A buzzer is connected with arduino
pin number 13 through a NPN BC547 transistor having a 1 k resistor at its base.
LPG gas sensor module is used to detect LPG Gas. When LPG gas leakage
sensed, it will give a HIGH pulse on its DO pin and Arduino constantly reads its DO
pin.
When Arduino receives a HIGH pulse from the LPG Gas sensor module it
displays the “LPG Gas Leakage Alert” message on 16x2 LCD and stimulates buzzer
which beeps again until the gas detector module doesn't recognize the gas in the
environment. 
When Arduino gets a LOW pulse from the LPG Gas detector module, then
LCD will show the “No LPG Gas Leakage” alert message.
Arduino manages the complete process of this system like reading LPG Gas
sensor module output, sending a message to LCD and stimulating buzzer. We can set
the sensitivity of this sensor module by inbuilt potentiometer located on it.

CONCLUSION:

After this project performance, can conclude that detection of the LPG gas leakage is
incredible in the project system. Applicable usefully in the industrial and domestic purpose. In
danger situations we are able to save the life by using this system. An alert is indicated by the GSM
module. A sensor node senses gas like CO2, oxygen, propane. The estimated range of transmission
and consumption of power is obtained. The simple procedures and Arduino UNO Microcontroller
area used to build the Project.
