An electric current is allowed to flow between the first and second electrodes to form a heating element, and an electric resistance value between the first and third electrodes is detected to thereby make a temperature control.

摘要： An oxygen concentration sensing apparatus in which a block of an oxygen-ion conductive solid electrolyte is interposed between a first electrode and a second electrode disposed opposite to each other. The first electrode is made of a catalytic metal and is exposed at a portion thereof on a surface of the solid electrolyte block, and an electrical insulating heat-resistive layer having a plurality of communication pores covers the exposed portion of the first electrode. The second electrode is porous and made of a catalytic metal. The solid electrolyte is wholly exposed to a stream of gases containing oxygen whose concentration is to be measured, and during measurement, a current source supplies continuously an electric current in a direction from the first electrode toward the second electrode. When the partial pressure of oxygen gas produced at the first electrode and existing in the vicinity thereof exceeds a predetermined value, the excess pressure portion of oxygen gas is discharged into the stream of gases through the communication pores of the heat-resistive layer thereby maintaining substantially constant the partial pressure of oxygen gas in the vicinity of the first electrode. An electromotive force representing the ratio between the partial pressure of oxygen around the first electrode and that in the stream of gases containing oxygen is measured to determine the concentration of oxygen contained in the gases.

摘要： A lead wire for a sensor has a conductor unit including at least stainless steel wires and copper wires. By setting the cross-sectional percentage of the stainless steel wires in the conductor unit within the range of 30 to 70%, it is possible to obtain a lead wire having low electrical resistance, and high flexibility, tensile strength and elasticity. There are preferred values in hardness and heat treatment of the stainless steel wires. The copper wires are preferably coated with an antioxidant film. The lead wire may include hybrid wires stranded together and obtained by integrally molding or forming stainless steel and copper. It is preferable that the lead wire is coated with an insulating coating material such as a Teflon type resin.

摘要： An air-fuel ratio sensor of a limit current type is used for an air-fuel ratio feedback control. When the air-fuel ratio sensor is in a semi-activated state, the air-fuel ratio sensor is driven into an electromotive force generating mode by a current externally applied thereto thereby to shift an electromotive force changing point so that an air-fuel ratio at which the electromotive force changes stepwisely is shifted from the stoichiometric ratio point to a lean zone. When the air-fuel ratio sensor is in a completely activated state, the air-fuel ratio sensor is applied with a voltage to produce a limit current varying with an air-fuel ratio so that a feedback control is performed based on the advanced control theory by using a linear current output characteristics.
