    摘要: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for diagnosing a catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust-gas system of an internal combustion engine. The catalytic converter is configured to have an oxygen storage capability and a nitrogen oxide storage capability. A first exhaust-gas probe is mounted rearward of the catalytic converter and a second exhaust-gas probe is mounted forward thereof. The oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas forward of the catalytic converter is alternately increased and decreased so that the signals of both exhaust-gas probes change. A first phase shift between the signals of both exhaust-gas probes is detected when the oxygen concentration increases and a second phase shift between the signals is detected when the oxygen concentration decreases. The difference of the phase shifts is determined and a fault signal is outputted and/or stored when this difference does not reach a pregiven threshold.

    摘要: A sensor for detecting combustible gases in a test gas. The core of this sensor is comprised of a sensitive layer based on a semiconducting metal oxide that is deposited on a ceramic substrate and for which the electrical resistance provides information on the concentration of combustible gases in a test gas. The sensitive layer (3) is comprised of a compound (12) of sintered-together grains (15) of the semiconducting metal oxide, the surface of which is coated with gold and/or a gold alloy. The semiconducting metal oxide in this case is stannic oxide (SnO.sub.2), indium oxide (In.sub.2 O.sub.3), titanium oxide (TiO.sub.2) or another n-semiconducting metal oxide or metal mix oxide. The gold alloy, for example, is composed of 66 mol % gold and 33 mol % palladium (Pd).

    摘要: The invention is directed to a method of determining the sensitivity of a hydrocarbon sensor for an internal combustion engine generating exhaust gas during the operation thereof. The hydrocarbon sensor includes a probe electrode subjected to the exhaust gas and a heater device for heating the probe electrode whereby a voltage (U) is generated in the sensor and is present at the probe electrode with the voltage (U) being a criterion for the concentration of hydrocarbon molecules in the exhaust gas. The voltage (U) present on the probe electrode is short circuited for a short time and the voltage (U) is measured as a function of time to obtain a voltage curve. A conclusion is then drawn as to the sensitivity of the hydrocarbon sensor from the voltage curve. The invention is also directed to an arrangement for carrying out the invention.
