摘要:
A seal for a sensor element of a gas sensor for determining the oxygen content in gases including exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine, which seal seals the sensor element in a longitudinal bore of a housing, the seal including a sealing stack which is positioned within the longitudinal bore of the housing and around the sensor element in use and which is comprised of two sealing bodies and an additional seal positioned between the two sealing bodies. The two sealing bodies are comprised of a pre-sintered ceramic material. The additional seal is comprised of a pre-pressed powder material and has a porosity which is lower than that of the two sealing bodies. The two sealing bodies and the additional seal are compressed together within the longitudinal bore in use, whereby at least the additional seal is deformed so that the sensor element is sealed in a gap-free manner within the longitudinal bore. The pre-pressed powder material of the additional seal may consist essentially of a ductile metal, which may be one of nickel or copper, or graphite which may be fiber-reinforced.

A PTC temperature sensor and a process for producing PTC temperature sensing elements from ceramic films for a PTC temperature sensor are proposed. The PTC temperature sensing elements are so designed that the PTC resistor track is hermetically encapsulated with respect to the gas being measured and the ambient air. Ceramic films based on an insulator ceramic, in particular based on Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and ceramic films based on a solid electrolyte can be used to produce the temperature sensing elements. The PTC temperature sensor according to the invention is distinguished, in particular, by the fact that, while the manufacturing procedure is cheap, it is not subject to aging due to the effect of varying O.sub.2 partial pressures, has a high resistance to aging of the resistance characteristic in rich and lean gas mixtures, for example in motor vehicle exhaust gases, at 300.degree.-1000.degree. C. and has a construction free from extraneous potential, is characterized by short response times owning to its low heat capacity and is suitable for incorportion in very narrow housing as a consequence of small dimensions.

摘要:
The NTC temperature sensor includes a NTC temperature sensing element having an NTC resistor and made of a laminated composite of ceramic films, which is so designed that the ambient air or oxygen supplied by electrolytic pumping has free access, via a channel in the laminated composite, to the NTC resistor. The NTC resistor is hermetically sealed from a gas being measured. Solid electrolyte films which conduct O.sup.-2 ions, and films based on Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 can be used to make the laminated composite. The NTC resistor characteristic curve is independent of the composition of the gas being measured. The laminated composite can be formed of at least three solid electrolyte ceramic films including a base film provided with punched-out interconnection holes and conductor tracks printed by thick film technology, an intermediate film having a punched-out channel and a channel enlargement around the ends of the conductor tracks forming the electrodes of the NTC resistor, and a covering film.
摘要:
A regulating device is proposed for the mixture composition of an internal combustion engine having a signal sensor and having regulating ranges which can be switched over between lambda equals one and the lean range. The lambda-equal-to-one regulation is effected by means of a two-point regulator and the lean regulation is effected either via an altered set-point value of the two-point regulator or with the aid of a steady regulator. The transitions between the two types of regulation take a course dependent on a selectable function, in order to avoid abrupt changes in rpm. A switchover is also made to controlled operation for a brief period at the beginning of each type of regulation.

In an apparatus that ascertains a concentration of a component in a gas mixture, the apparatus includes: a gas measurement chamber, in which the concentration of the component is adjustable against an influence of an interface, acting across a diffusion barrier, with the concentration in the gas mixture, whereby the influence of the interface is compensated for by a controllable current of ions of the component by way of a solid electrolyte, which is charged with a controllable pumping voltage, serves as a pumping mechanism, and is located between the gas measurement chamber and the gas mixture, so that a parameter that characterizes a current constitutes a measurement for the concentration in the gas mixture, whereby the solid electrolyte is at least periodically charged with a specified constant pumping voltage as a function of at least one state parameter of the gas mixture.
摘要:
The measuring sensor, particularly a lambda probe, has a ceramic sensor member retained at a high temperature during measuring operation. It is shielded from water droplets, carried along in the gas to be analyzed, by a heated protective housing, permeable for the gas to be analyzed, by which water droplets carried along in the direction of the sensor member are evaporated before reaching the sensor member. In this way, the water droplets are unable to cause any shock-like temperature drops at spots on the surface of the sensor member or material flaking.
