Modern combustion technologies require continuous monitoring of combustion products. One of the most important parameters of the gas compositionof a residual oxygen. Measurement of the concentration of oxygen with high accuracy, reliability and speed— the key to proper operation of the system of regulation of fuel-air mixture formation, thus achieving the effect of fuel economy and lower emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere. Sufficiently high accuracy measurement of oxygen concentration sensors providea very steep response to changes in theconcentration of O 2. This paper briefly describes the characteristics of one such sensor, which is used in the gas analyzer ICTS-11.
Materials and methods
Statistical study of the effects of the concentrations of the main components of flue gas O 2 sensor readings in the gas analyzer ICTS-11.
Results
Wide sensor with additional diffusion chamber in which the oxygen concentration is maintained close to zero, has high accuracy and speed and does not require areference gas flow (air) during operation
Сonclusions
ICTS-11 gas analyzer by the use of the described sensor is simple to operate, unnecessarily requires a reference gassupply lines and special sample preparation, can be placed in the measuring medium, asa result, he has a minimum transport delay, which has a positive effect on its speed.
