The system includes residences, educational facilities, offices, and public buildings, as well as underground structures. subway systems that are in direct contact with people, heavily used, and at risk of radon accumulation. in stations, shopping mall basements and underground parking lots It is available for use. Each panel module that makes up the system has a 25 mm diameter, depending on the application area and the surface to which it will be applied. They can be scaled accordingly. Modules are preferably 100 × 100 cm nominal dimensions and a suitable cross-sectional thickness to accommodate the system components, for example, 9.5 cm thick It is manufactured by placing multiple modules side by side, within the space. A functional warning system can be created that covers large surfaces. The panel system described in the invention has a polycarbonate outer protective layer (1), thermochromic 30 thermochromic layer (2) consisting of pigment and epoxy resin, heating cable (3), thermal high conductivity aluminum plate (4), main control unit (5), radon detection unit (6), corrugated carrier profile (7), ground connection flange (8), network connection terminal (9), M5 countersunk bolts (10), countersunk mounting holes (11), M5 4 stainless steel connecting bolts (12), flange fixing screws (13), installation outlet (14), cassette (15), cable holder (16), gas inlet opening (17) and cassette side It includes panel mounting holes (18). The outer perimeter and main housing of the system are formed by the cassette (15). Cassette (15) contains the sensing, control, energy transmission and heating components inside the panel. It holds together and protects from external influences. It forms the structural frame of the panel. The corrugated carrier profile (7) ensures that the layers are held together. Corrugated arranged on the carrier profile (7) according to the thicknesses of the layers forming the panel There are protrusions. These protrusions hold the layers in their designated positions. and the orderly transfer of heat between layers 10 It provides. The panel module is fixed to the mounting surface by ground connection flanges (8) This is done through the ground connection flanges (8), of the panel module. It establishes structural balance and assembly stability, preventing the module from tipping over. It prevents each ground connection flange (8) from being secured using flange fixing screw (13) 15 It is attached to the main body or mounting surface. The panel connections use M5 countersunk bolts (10), M5 stainless steel. mounting bolts (12), countersunk mounting holes (11) and cassette side panel mounting holes (18) are used. Countersunk mounting holes (11) are used for the heads of M5 countersunk bolts (10). These parts are in the form of angled slots that allow them to be embedded into the cassette surface. These 20 The structure allows for the placement of fasteners without creating protrusions on the surface, and It ensures the smoothness of the panel surface is maintained.

In order for radon gas to reach the detection section, the bottom of the cassette (15) There are gas inlet gaps (17). Air in the environment passes through the gas inlet gaps (17) It enters the panel and reaches the radon detection unit (6). Radon detection unit (6) measures the radon gas level in the air reaching the panel in Bq / m³ It measures and transmits the obtained data to the main control unit (5). The main control unit (5) receives the data from the radon detection unit (6) in real time. It evaluates. The microcontroller located inside the main control unit (5), It compares the measured radon level to the defined threshold values. Radon 5 If the level exceeds one of the relevant threshold values, the main control unit (5), activates the heating cable (3). Heating cable (3) provides the necessary heat for the thermochromic layer (2) to change color. It produces its energy. The heat generated by the heating cable (3) has high thermal conductivity. It is distributed from the aluminum sheet (4) to the panel surface. The aluminum sheet (4) is 10 by ensuring that heat is distributed homogeneously across the surface in the thermochromic layer (2) helps to create a regular and clear color change. Thermochromic layer (2), thermochromic pigments in epoxy resin It is formed by mixing homogeneously. The heating cable (3) is put into circuit.

It ensures the preservation of optical clarity and the visibility of the visual stimulus. 25 Tempered glass instead of polycarbonate (1) in the top protective layer It can be used. Tempered glass is preferred where higher scratch resistance is desired and Protective layer in interior applications where aesthetic appearance is prioritized It is preferred as such. Cassette (15) and carrier body made of lightweight aluminum, ABS or ASA type 30 They can be manufactured from plastics, galvanized steel, or stainless steel. Lightweight aluminum is suitable for humid and dense environments due to its thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. They are preferred in the areas where they are used. ABS or ASA-based plastics are lightweight. It can be used to provide anti-static properties and reduce mass production costs. 6 Thanks to its properties, it limits dust accumulation on the surface. Galvanized or Stainless steel, on the other hand, is used in high-traffic floor applications and where the risk of impact is high. as cassette and carrier body material in public spaces It is available for use. The electrical energy required for the operation of the system is connected to the grid terminal (9) 5 It is provided via. The network connection terminal (9) is the main electrical of the space. It transfers the energy coming from the line to the system. 220 V AC is received from the terminal. Electrical energy is supplied as 12 V or 24 V DC voltage through the transformer located within the system. It is converted into a value. Low-voltage electrical energy is used by the radon detection unit. (6), main control unit (5), microcontroller and heating cable (3) 10 It is used in operation. In the alternative application, the network connection terminal (9), By connecting to a photovoltaic system that generates solar energy, the panel's existing energy... It can be made to operate independently of its infrastructure. Color change occurring in the thermochromic layer (2) is perceived radon It is formed in three stages according to its concentration. That is, the thermochromic layer (2), 15 multiple color pigments to create a visual stimulus stage in different colors It features a tonal transition rather than a sharp separation between colors. It is present. Radon levels below 100 Bq / m³ constitute a safe level. This indicates a green color on the panel surface. The radon concentration is... A reading between 100 Bq / m³ and 300 Bq / m³ indicates the level of attention, and surface 20 It turns yellow. Radon levels reach 300 Bq / m³ or higher. If it exceeds this value, it indicates the danger level and a red color appears on the surface. The colors mentioned here are not mandatory and may vary depending on the surface. The colors received can be varied. The panel surface turning yellow or red indicates radon 25 in the environment. It shows the user that the temperature has reached a level requiring ventilation. If a color change is observed, the mechanical ventilation systems in the room It is operating at full capacity, and natural gas is being released by opening existing windows and escape doors. Ventilation and fresh air flow are provided. Thus, radon detection results are obtained.
