The TGS sensor  
The TGS sensor contains a semiconductor sensor, 
which is  constructed on SnO2 -sintered N-substrate. 
When combustible or  reducing gases are absorbed by the surface of the sensor, the concentration of  the test gas is determined by the change in conductivity.

1 = Circuit voltage
2 = Heating voltage
3 = Load resistor
The VQ sensor  
The head of the VQ sensor functions on the principle of heat  reaction. When combustible or reducing gases or vapours come in contact with  the measuring element, they are subjected to catalytic combustion, which  causes a rise in temperature. This rise causes a change in the resistance of  the measuring element which is used as a measure of the component of gas being  tested. The inert element is for compensating the temperature and conductivity  of the test gas.
