Claim 10:
11. A monitoring system for detecting leakage of flammable compounds, comprising:
a first sensor configured to measure a first parameter indicative of the presence flammable compounds in a space around a potential leak source of a flammable compound;
a second sensor configured to measure a second parameter in the space around the potential leak source; and
a controller configured to characterize the prospective presence of the flammable compound determined by measurement of the first parameter, in conjunction with the measurement of the second parameter, as an actual presence of the flammable compound or as a false alarm;
wherein the first sensor and the second sensor are disposed in a conduit on a conditioned air flow path comprising an inlet and an outlet, and the first sensor and the second sensor are disposed in the conduit with the second sensor downstream from the first sensor with respect to a direction of flow from the inlet to the outlet.
