Fig. 1. Structure of chlorine gas sensor
When the sensor works, the relation between electrolysis current and chlorine gas density is shown as follows [5]:
displays them on the screen and sends them to the control center by GPRS. The host control instrument can store and display the historical data of concentration of chlorine gas with the SD card. The control center can analyze and store the data. The detecting range is 0~20ppm. When the concentration of chlorine gas is over-standard, the host control instrument will give alarms and sending signals to the control center. Therefore, this system can prevent the accident of chlorine leakage and guarantee the safety of workers.

3. General structure of the system
Fig. 2. General structure of the system
The whole chlorine gas online detect system can be divided into two parts: the chlorine gas online detect device and the control center. The chlorine 原文请找腾讯752018766辣,文-论'文.网http://www.751com.cn gas online detect device can also be divided into host control instrument and chlorine gas transmitter. Fig 2 shows the general structure of the system. Several chlorine gas transmitters are settled in the monitoring area, detecting the concentration of chlorine gas and send the results to the host control instrument by RS485. The host control instrument collects the data of concentration of chlorine gas sending from transmitter,
used in instruments, automatic control and consumer electronics. They have the advantages of high speed, low power, powerful functions, strong anti-interference and hard to decode.
