摘要: A sensor element includes first to third chambers communicating sequentially from a gas inlet, voltages are intermittently applied across inner electrodes facing the respective chambers and a reference pump electrode to perform pumping of oxygen between a measurement gas and the reference pump electrode being in contact with a reference gas, thereby to reduce H2O and CO2 in the measurement gas into H2 and CO in the first chamber, to oxidize H2 into H2O in the second chamber, to oxidize CO into CO2 in the third chamber, and to identify a concentration of H2O and a concentration of CO2 based on a pumping-in current at the time when electromotive force between an inner electrode and the reference pump electrode during non-application of a voltage is maintained at a target value.

摘要: A first cell includes a first electrode in a measurement gas chamber and a second electrode in a reference gas chamber. A second cell includes a third electrode in the measurement gas chamber and a fourth electrode in the reference gas chamber to cause a current therebetween that corresponds to a concentration of a specific gas component in detected gas in the measurement chamber. A controller selectively implements a normal control and a reduction control. The normal control is to apply a lower voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode to remove oxygen from the detected gas. The reduction control is to apply a higher voltage to the first electrode and the second electrode to reduce the third electrode that is oxidized. The controller prohibits implementation of the reduction control on determination that implementation of the reduction control.

摘要: A gas detector includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit obtains a value correlated with an output current flowing between a first electrode and a second electrode in a period in which lowering sweep is executed and in which an applied voltage is equal to or lower than a decomposition initiation voltage of sulfur oxides as a first current. The electronic control unit obtains the output current that is detected when the applied voltage is a particular voltage that is equal to or higher than a voltage at which the output current is a limiting current of oxygen, and that exclude a current resulted from a reoxidation reaction of sulfur in the first electrode by boosting sweep as a second current. The electronic control unit detects a concentration of sulfur oxides based on a difference between the second current and the first current.

摘要: An internal combustion engine comprises an exhaust purification catalyst and an air-fuel ratio sensor arranged at a downstream side of the exhaust purification catalyst, stops or decreases a feed of fuel as fuel cut control, and controls an air-fuel ratio of exhaust gas to a rich air-fuel ratio after the end of the fuel cut control as post reset rich control. The diagnosis system calculates a first characteristic of change of air-fuel ratio at the time when the output air-fuel ratio first passes a first air-fuel ratio region leaner than a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio and a second characteristic of change of air-fuel ratio at the time when the output air-fuel ratio first passes a second air-fuel ratio region including a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio. The diagnosis system diagnoses the abnormality of the air-fuel ratio sensor based on the first characteristic of change of air-fuel ratio and the second characteristic of change of air-fuel ratio. As a result, it is possible to suppress the effects of the change of state of the exhaust purification catalyst while accurately diagnosing the abnormality of deterioration of response of a downstream side air-fuel ratio sensor.

摘要: A gas sensor is equipped with a solid electrolyte body, a pump electrode, a sensor electrode, and a heater. In the gas sensor, a region of the whole of a front end portion of a heater base in which a heating element is disposed is broken down into three regions: an intermediate region defined between a front end and a base end of the sensor electrode, a front end region located closer to a front end side than the intermediate region is, and a base end region located closer to a base end side than the intermediate region is. A resistance value per unit area of a heating element lying in the base end region and a resistance value per unit area of the heating element lying in the front end region is selected to be higher than that of the heating element lying in the intermediate region, thereby keeping the temperature of a region around the sensor electrode at a desired level even when the temperature of gas changes.

摘要: A method is provided for diagnosing a reference channel of a broadband lambda probe that is used to determine an oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas, at least one sensor element having a pump cell and a Nernst cell being used; in one measurement mode, a regulated pumping current flowing through the pump cell to determine the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas, and thus an exchange of oxygen ions between a measuring cell and the exhaust gas being achieved, and a lambda value in the measuring cell being regulated to a value of 1; the lambda value in the measuring cell being monitored through the Nernst cell, and the value of the pumping current required for that purpose being dependent on the oxygen concentration and thus on the lambda value of the exhaust gas to be determined.

摘要: A gas sensor is equipped with a housing, an insulator retained by an inner periphery of the housing, a sensing device having a front end portion protruding from a front end surface of the insulator, and a protective cover which covers a front end portion of the sensing device. A pump electrode and a sensor electrode are disposed in a front end portion of the solid electrolyte body. The pump electrode is exposed to a measurement gas and regulates the concentration of oxygen in the measurement gas. The sensor electrode is exposed to the measurement gas and measures the concentration of a given gas component in the measurement gas after being regulated in concentration of oxygen by the pump electrode. A base end portion of the sensor electrode in a lengthwise direction is located closer to a base end side of the gas sensor than a front end surface of the housing is. This minimizes a variation in temperature of the sensor electrode and enhances the accuracy in measuring the concentration of the given gas component.
