- Radon is an invisible, odorless and chemically inactive radioactive gas that is produced by the decay of uranium ore. Various types of equipment and components have been proposed to date for radon detection. In this paper, a radon detector using PIN photodiode radon sensor module is implemented. In order to improve air flow in high voltage chamber, we set a fan on the top or the bottom of the chamber. Through some experimental studies, we found that the fan could improve air flow in the high voltage chamber, resulting in high sensitivity. Keywords: radon, radon detector, PIN photodiode sensor, air flow, sensitivity.
