摘要:
The present invention relates to a gas sensor (1) for determining a hydrogen-containing gas component and/or its concentration in a measurement gas, in particular for determining NH3, said sensor comprising two electrodes (3, 4) which are connected, such that they conduct protons, by means of a proton conductor (2), wherein a diffusion barrier (8) is arranged between a sensor region (7) which is to be exposed to the measurement gas and a first electrode (3) which is catalytically active with respect to cleaving of the hydrogen-containing gas component. The gas sensor is distinguished by the fact that the proton conductor (2) is connected to the two electrodes (3, 4) as a hydrogen ion pump cell (5, 15).

A degradation detector of an exhaust gas sensor is disclosed. The detector comprises a first heater resistance estimator (16) for estimating a resistance of a heater that heats the exhaust gas sensor, based on a device resistance of the exhaust gas sensor; a heater resistance calculator (17) for calculating a resistance of the heater, based on a heater current of the heater; and a degradation determiner (18) for determining whether the exhaust gas sensor is degraded, by comparing the estimated resistance of the heater and the calculated resistance of the heater.
摘要:
A method of adjusting the output of an electrochemical sensor includes the steps of: simulating the presence of an analyte gas electronically; measuring a response of the sensor to the electronic simulation; and adjusting the output of the sensor as a function of the measured response to the electronic simulation. The method of adjusting the output of an electrochemical sensor having a working electrode and a counter electrode preferably includes the steps of: electronically causing a current flow between the working electrode and the counter electrode; measuring a response of the sensor to the current demand; and using the measured response to adjust the sensor output during sampling of an analyte gas.

The invention relates to a sensor element (10) serving to detect a physical property of a gas to be measured, preferably to determine the concentration of oxygen or the temperature of an exhaust gas of a combustion engine. The sensor element (10) comprises a first solid-electrolyte film (21), a second solid-electrolyte film (22), and a diffusion barrier (41) that is placed in a layer plane between the first and second solid-electrolyte films (21, 22). A gas-impermeable or at least largely gas-impermeable covering layer (44) is provided on the diffusion barrier (41) in areas so that, in the areas in which the covering layer (44) is situated on the diffusion barrier (41), the diffusion of the gas to be measured into or out of the diffusion barrier (41) is at least largely prevented. The invention also relates to a method for producing a sensor element (10), whereby the sensor element (10) has a diffusion barrier (41) that is removed by a laser (81) in order to set the diffusion resistance of the diffusion barrier (41). The diffusion barrier (41) is placed between a first and a second solid-electrolyte film (21, 22). The invention also relates to another method with which a diffusion barrier (41) is placed between a first and a second solid-electrolyte film (21, 22). A covering layer (44) is placed on a side of the diffusion barrier (41) facing a gas to be measured located outside of the sensor element (10). This covering layer is gas-impermeable or at least largely gas-impermeable after a sintering process. The covering layer (44) is removed in order to set the diffusion resistance of the diffusion barrier (41).
摘要:
A gas concentration measuring apparatus for use in air-fuel ratio control of motor vehicle engines is provided which is designed to detect and identify a cause of failure in operation of an A/F sensor. The apparatus works to apply the voltage to a sensor element and sweep it to produce a change in electrical current flowing through the sensor element for measuring the impedance of the sensor element. The apparatus samples values of the change in the current, a sensor output indicating an air-fuel ratio of mixture supplied to the engine, etc., before and/or after the sensor element is activated and uses a combination thereof to identify the cause of the failure of the A/ F sensor.
