    摘要: A gas sensor comprising a proton-conductive layer 5 formed of a polymer electrolyte; first and second electrodes 3 and 4 disposed in contact with the proton-conductive layer 5 and having a function of dissociating hydrogen; a gas-diffusion-rate limiting layer 2 disposed between a measurement gas atmosphere and the first electrode 3 and adapted to diffuse the gas under measurement to the first electrode 3 in a diffusion-rate limited state; and a dense support 1 supporting these elements. Hydrogen gas having reached the first electrode 3 via the gas-diffusion-rate limiting layer 2 is dissociated into protons by virtue of the catalytic action of Pt contained in the electrode and the voltage applied to the first electrode 3, and the generated protons are pumped to the second electrode 4 via the proton-conductive layer 5 and are converted to hydrogen gas, which diffuses into the measurement gas atmosphere. When the applied voltage is sufficiently high, saturation current flows between the first and second electrodes 3 and 4, and the magnitude of the saturation current varies in proportion to the hydrogen gas concentration of the gas under measurement.
    A hydrogen gas sensor which operates at low temperature in a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, and can accurately measure hydrogen gas concentration of a fuel gas of a fuel cell, is thereby provided.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus using a gas concentration sensor for accurately controlling an air fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine, featuring in that before the fuel-vaporized gas purged from the canister enters into the intake manifold whereat the sensor detects the gas concentration of the purged gas, the sensor is adjusted so as to adjust a zero point (or zero output level) of the sensor output.
    In step 100, a judgment is made as to whether the flow rate of air reaches a predetermined level. In step 110, processing for zero-point correction of the gas concentration sensor is performed. Specifically, in a state in which the purge valve 17 is closed, concentration of purge gas is measured by use of the gas concentration sensor 4, and a sensor output S1 at that time is obtained. Subsequently, the sensor output S1 is compared with a correct sensor output S0 in order to obtain a difference ΔS therebetween. Accordingly, during subsequent gas concentration measurement, a value S3 obtained through subtraction of the difference ΔS from an obtained sensor output S2 is used as a correct sensor output. In step 120, a supply amount of purge gas, i.e., a concentration of the purge gas to be supplied is obtained. In subsequent step 130, the purge valve 17 is driven in order to supply purge gas to the intake pipe 2 in a required amount (A%).

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and a method using a two-serial space sensor (having first and second internal spaces (2, 3)) for accurately measuring NOx concentration in gas, e.g., exhausted from an internal combustion engine. Both NOx (nitrogen oxide) and oxygen are forced to be partially dissociated in the first space (2) to an oxygen concentration level of 2 x 10 -7 to 2 x 10 -10 atm by pumping out oxygen from the first space (2). The NOx concentration is determined based on the second current measured in the second space (4) and based on the NO dissociation percentage in the first space (2) which is 0.5-50%, or preferably 2-20%. The NOx measurement accuracy is further improved when the above oxygen concentration level is maintained from 2 x 10 -8 to 2 x 10 -9 and the temperature drift of the sensor is maintained within ± 5°C under a sensor temperature range of 700-900 °C.
