Abstract

Le problème décrit par la présente invention est de permettre la détection de la qualité d'un gaz dans un espace cible à des coûts inférieurs par rapport à un cas où des unités de détection destinées à détecter la qualité d'un gaz sont fournies pour des éléments de collecte respectifs. La solution selon l'invention porte sur une unité de détection qui comprend une pluralité d'éléments de collecte qui sont disposés au niveau d'une pluralité de points de détection dans un espace cible et collectent un gaz, et des moyens de détection qui sont disposés de manière à être moins nombreux que la pluralité d'éléments de collecte et qui détectent la qualité du gaz collecté par les éléments de collecte. L'unité de détection comprend en outre un moyen de commutation dans lequel, lorsqu'une partie des éléments de collecte parmi la pluralité d'éléments de collecte fournit le gaz aux moyens de détection, le moyen de commutation commute la partie des éléments de collecte vers une autre partie des éléments de collecte pour fournir le gaz aux moyens de détection.
