摘要:
To simplify manufacture and assembly of a temperature-compensated titanium dioxide oxygen sensor, the sensor (9, 9') is applied as a layer on the thermistor body (1), with an electrode (8) interposed; preferably, the thermistor body is densely sintered titanium dioxide, in the form of a closed tube (1, 1') which may have a central opening (FIG. 1: 2) therethrough, with the sensor body being porous titanium dioxide and located either on the inside (FIG. 1) surface of the thermistor body (1) or on the outside (FIG. 2) surface, and supported by the thermistor body, which forms the substrate and support surface for the sensor body.

Stabilized zirconium dioxide compositions sintered with a silicate flux and stabilized with (i) calcium oxide and (ii) magnesium oxide. The stabilized zirconium dioxide can be sintered at temperatures between 1460.degree. C. and 1480.degree. C. to form solids having high mechanical strength and a specific resistance of 1M.OMEGA.cm at a low temperature. The invention also provides oxygen sensors containing at least one measuring cell which is an oxygen concentration cell having two electrodes separated by and in ionic communication through a solid stabilized zirconium dioxide electrolyte which is prepared from the said compositions.
摘要:
A sensor for determining an oxygen content in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes a receptacle, arranged in a longitudinal bore of a metal housing, for a sensing element. The sensing element is received in the receptacle in a gas-tight fashion via a sensing element seal, which includes a glass seal. The receptacle has a measured-gas-side ceramic shaped element and a connector-side ceramic shaped element, which are arranged axially one behind the other. A cavity into which the glass seal is pressed while hot is configured between the two ceramic shaped elements.
摘要:
A sensor for determining an oxygen level in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine includes a receptacle arranged in a longitudinal bore of a metallic enclosure for a sensor element. The sensor element is accommodated in a gas-tight manner using a sensor element seal. The receptacle has a measured gas-side ceramic molded component and a connection-side ceramic molded component, which are arranged one behind the other axially. A hollow space is formed between the measured gas-side ceramic molded component and the connection-side ceramic molded component, in which a metallic sealing element is hot-pressed.
摘要:
A ceramic consisting substantially of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 as ceramic support, ceramic cover layer and/or ceramic supporting structure for heating conductors is described, which is electrochemically stable, which, in other words, does not decompose on application of a heating voltage, even in long-term operation at temperatures above 600.degree.. Such a ceramic exhibits a very small alkali metal content, of less than 0.2% by weight Na.sub.2 O and K.sub.2 O respectively. Particularly favorable processing, in particular pressing properties are exhibited by such a ceramic if it has 2.5 to 10% by weight of barium silicate or strontium silicate fluxes, the proportions of Na.sub.2 O, K.sub.2 O, CaO and MgO together make up less than 1% by weight, and the BaO or SrO:SiO.sub.2 molar ratio is between 2:1 and 1:12.5. Such a ceramic with a BaO:SiO.sub.2 ratio of 2.6:1 parts by weight is electrochemically stable up to approximately 1400.degree. C., and at 1300.degree. C. still exhibits a bending strength of approximately 300 N/mm.sup.2.
摘要:
A measuring sensor, in particular, for determining the oxygen content in exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, includes a ceramic molding arranged in a metal housing for the accommodation of a sensor element, in particular, planar, the sensor element being sealed by a seal element made of warm-deformable temperature-resistant material. The molded housing is designed in one piece and has a cylindrically shaped longitudinal hole on the connector side, around the sensor element, and the seal element is compressed between a first compressing element on the measuring-gas side and a second compressing element on the connector side, such that it tightly encloses the sensor element and hermetically seals the sensor element with respect to the molded housing.
摘要:
To facilitate mass production and permit ready introduction of a substance which provides an oxygen partial pressure reference level, for example the oxygen in ambient air, an elongated plane flat plate-like solid electrolyte body is provided with electrodes thereon, and one of the electrodes is covered by a trough-like cover element to form the reference electrode, the space beneath the trough-like element and the electrode itself being available for the substance which may, but need not be, the oxygen of air, and may be a solid material providing a reference oxygen partial pressure level. The cover plate may, itself, be made of solid electrolyte material and may form a portion of another sensing element, so that a plurality of sensing elements can be superimposed in sandwich-like fashion. A heater element can be applied to a flat plate element of the assembly where desired. The sensors can operate in the potentiometric or polarographic mode.
摘要:
An insulation layer system, in particular for gas sensors, is proposed, having at least one electrically conductive solid-electrolyte layer (10), an electrically conductive layer (20) and at least one electrically insulating layer (13) between the solid-electrolyte layer (10) and the electrically conductive layer (20). The material of the insulating layer (13) contains, prior to sintering, pentavalent metal oxides of niobium or tantalum as an additive, it being possible for the additive to diffuse into the adjoining solid-electrolyte layer (10) during sintering.

A ceramic insulating material, in particular for sensor elements for determining the concentration of gas components in gas mixtures, is based on an alkaline earth-containing ceramic.
