摘要:
The invention relates to a sensor element (110) for determining at least one physical variable of a gas in a sample gas chamber (112), particularly for determining an amount of a gas component in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The sensor element (110) comprises at least one first electrode (114), at least one second electrode (118), and at least one solid electrolyte (116) connecting the first electrode (114) and the second electrode (118). The second electrode (118) is disposed in at least one electrode hollow space (120). The sensor element (110) comprises at least one gas access path (122), by way of which gas from the sample gas chamber (112) can be applied to the electrode hollow space (120). The gas access path (122) comprises at least one first section (124) having at least one porous flow barrier (126) and at least one second section (130) having at least one diffusion channel (136). The first section (124) and the second section (130) are connected in series. The first section (124) has a first diffusion resistance, and the gas access path (122) has a total diffusion resistance. The first diffusion resistance constitutes a portion of 20% to 80% of the total diffusion resistance.

The invention relates to a gas sensor for determining the oxygen concentration in a gas mixture, especially in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Said gas sensor comprises a pump cell having an outer pump electrode, exposed to the gas mixture, and an inner pump electrode, exposed to the gas mixture via a diffusion barrier, and a solid electrolyte body interposed between the outer pump electrode and the inner pump electrode. The gas sensor also has a reference electrode, exposed to a reference gas, and a sensor heating device. The outer pump electrode is connected to a circuit arrangement via a pump current line, the inner pump electrode via a measuring line, the reference electrode via a reference current line and the sensor heating device via two heating lines. The invention is characterized in that the pump current line and one heating line are electrically interconnected and grounded, the pump current can be supplied via the measuring line and the Nernst voltage can be tapped between the measuring line and the reference pump current line and the reference pump current flows from the reference electrode to the outer pump electrode.
