Gas concentration measurement system with limiting current-type gas sensor
A gas concentration measurement system has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11885763B2) that includes a limiting current-type gas sensor connected to a voltage source and a current detector. The system also features a gas concentration arithmetic unit that calculates the concentration of a second gas based on the difference between the limiting currents generated by applying different voltages to the sensor. The sensor element comprises a solid electrolyte, electrodes, and an insulating layer, with the insulating layer having specific configurations to facilitate accurate gas concentration measurements.
Furthermore, the patented system can include multiple sensor elements and corresponding current detecting elements to enhance the accuracy of gas concentration calculations. By applying different voltages to these elements and analyzing the resulting limiting currents, the system can determine the concentration of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen oxides. The circuitry within the system is designed to amplify and process the signals from the sensor elements to calculate the gas concentrations effectively. Additionally, the system utilizes specific materials for the electrodes and gas introduction path to ensure reliable and precise measurements, with the insulating layer playing a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the sensor elements.
