摘要： A gas sensor has improved electrical properties. In the top view of the layer planes of the body of the sensor, printed circuit traces for electrodes are arranged outside of cavities in the body, e.g., outside of the reference air duct. Furthermore, the electrodes are enlarged in the direction of the exhaust-side end of the sensor. Also, the printed circuit traces have an increased layer thickness or are formed as a double layer.

摘要： A sensor element for a sensor for determining the concentration of a gas component in a gas mixture, in particular the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines, has two electrodes which, together with a solid electrolyte, form a pump cell, and one of these electrodes is exposed to the gas mixture via a porous protective layer. The sensor element also has a reference electrode which is situated on the solid electrolyte and is exposed to a reference gas. One of the two electrodes, with a reference electrode and the solid electrolyte, forms a concentration cell or a Nernst cell. To make the measured values produced by the sensor element insensitive to pressure fluctuations in the gas mixture, the electrode surface of the second electrode facing away from the solid electrolyte is coated with a finely porous diffusion layer, which is directly exposed to the gas mixture, and the second electrode is used as the reference electrode of the Nernst cell. It is also provided that the porous protective layer may be configured as a coarsely porous diffusion layer, and either of the two electrodes may be used as a reference electrode of the Nernst cell.

摘要： A gas sensor is described for detecting a physical property of a measuring gas, including detecting the oxygen concentration in the measuring gas. The gas sensor includes a sensor element having a diffusion barrier, which is arranged between a first solid electrolyte layer and a second solid electrolyte layer. The diffusion barrier has a necked-down portion, i.e., a concave profile, between the first and the second solid electrolyte layer. Accordingly, a first area, which the diffusion barrier occupies in a plane which lies between the side of the first solid electrolyte layer (facing the diffusion barrier) and the side of the second solid electrolyte layer (facing the diffusion barrier), is smaller than a second area on which the diffusion barrier covers the first or the second solid electrolyte. In order to manufacture the sensor element, a first layer made of a paste containing a pore-forming material is applied onto a blank foil, and after that, a second layer made of a paste containing a pore-forming material is applied.

摘要： In order to provide a method and arrangement for analytical determination of the relative amounts of exhaust gas components, except for water, but including hydrogen in the rich range or oxygen in the lean range, and for determining a &lgr; value, in which the exhaust gas sample can be taken at any arbitrary location, an arrangement is provided in which at least one portion of the exhaust gas is passed through a catalytic reactor (2, 22), a condenser (3,23) connected to the catalytic reactor to receive the gas passed through it, and, after passing through the condenser, the gas passes through an IR spectrometer and by a &lgr;-sensor. The oxidizable and reducible components of the exhaust gas are reacted with each other in the catalytic reactor which is heated to temperatures greater than 450° C. The relative amounts of CO2, hydrocarbons and, if present, CO are measured with the IR spectrometer and either the relative amount of hydrogen in the rich range or of O2+½ NO in the lean range is determined with the help of the signal (Ip) from the &lgr;-sensor. A &lgr; value is calculated from the measured exhaust gas component concentrations or relative amounts.
