Claim 0:
1. A method for monitoring for leakage of flammable compounds, comprising:
measuring a first parameter indicative of the presence of flammable compounds in a space around a potential leak source of a flammable compound;
determining a prospective presence of the flammable compound based on measurement of the first parameter;
measuring a second parameter in the space around the potential leak source; and
characterizing 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 a first sensor configured to measure the first parameter and a second sensor configured to measure the second parameter 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.
