METHODS, APPARATUSES, AND SYSTEMS PROVIDING DEHUMIDIFICATION FOR GAS DETECTING COMPONENTS

An apparatus (200, 300) comprising: a dehumidifier component (209, 302) disposed along a gas flow channel, wherein the dehumidifier component (209, 302) comprises a cooling element (211, 309, 411) in contact with a gaseous substance flowing in the gas flow channel (202, 313), wherein the gaseous substance comprises water vapor and wherein the cooling element (211, 309, 411) is configured to decrease a temperature level in the gas flow channel (202, 313); a gas detecting component (205, 307) disposed downstream with respect to the dehumidifier component (209, 302) along the gas flow channel (202, 313); and a controller component (400) in electronic communication with the dehumidifier component (209, 302), wherein the controller component (400) is configured to activate the dehumidifier component (209, 302) including the cooling element (211, 309, 411), wherein the dehumidifier component (209, 302) further comprises a filter component (311) disposed underneath the cooling element (211, 309, 411) in the gas flow channel (202, 313), wherein the gas flow channel (202, 313) and the filter component (311) intersect at least a portion of a vertical water channel (215, 315) defining a passage through which water vapor can be expelled from the apparatus (200, 300) without coming in contact with the gas detecting component (205), wherein the cooling element (211, 309, 411), when activated, causes water vapor to condense on a surface of the filter component (311), and wherein the vertical water channel (215, 315) is disposed perpendicular to the gas flow channel (202, 313).
