[0002] With the application of various gases, a variety of toxic and harmful gas products are generated in large quantities, posing a threat to human health and safety. Various gas detection technologies have emerged, such as gas and liquefied gas alarms, smoke (fire) alarms. Especially since Wilkens and Hatman proposed the concept of electronic nose in 1964, gas sensing technology is developing towards a higher level - electronic nose, that is, an intelligent system with certain gas and odor discrimination capabilities.

[0003] The electronic nose PEN3 is an odor detection instrument developed by AIRSENSE in Germany. It is a small, fast and efficient detection system for detecting gases and steam.
