Function 1 /4F Porous Pt electrodes – reactions takes place in triple points
Calibration curve Short circuit due to electronic conduction
High temperature oxygen sensors • Temperature range: 600 - 1500ºC • Pressure range becomes smaller with increasing temperature. • Good resistance toward corrosive atmospheres. • Good temperature shock resistance. • It is the equilibrium oxygen pressure which is measured!
In-situ measurements Examples: - Combustion control in gas- and coal fired furnaces; - Combustion of waste; • Atmosphere control in sintering and heat treatment • furnaces.
