    摘要: A gas sensor capable of reversibly and continuously measuring the concentration of a catalyst poison gas such as CO without specially needing recovering means such as a heater, and measuring the catalyst poison gas concentration without being affected by H2O concentration. The electrical circuit (15) of the gas sensor has an AC power supply (19) for applying an AC voltage between both electrodes (3), (5), an AC voltmeter (21) for measuring an AC voltage (AC effective voltage V) between the both electrodes (3), (5), and an AC ammeter (23) for measuring a current (AC effective current I) running between the both electrodes (3), (5). An impedance is determined from the AC effective voltage V and the AC effective current I generated when the AC voltage is applied to the both electrodes (3), (5). Since this impedance corresponds to the catalyst poison gas concentration, the catalyst poison gas concentration can be determined from the impedance by using a map showing the relation between the impedance and the catalyst poison gas concentration.

    摘要: A hydrogen gas sensor is configured such that an O-ring 21 is disposed within a measurement chamber 11a in order to seal against a first support element 9a and against a proton conduction layer 1. This O-ring 21 assumes the form of a rectangular frame that surrounds a first electrode 3, and a substantially circular cross section, and is elastic, heat resistant, and durable. A first metal plate 23a and a second metal plate 23b are disposed from the outside on opposite support elements 9a and 9b, respectively. The hydrogen gas sensor of the present embodiment has a pair of right-hand and left-hand through-holes 29 formed therein so as to extend along the thickness direction thereof. Bolts 31 are inserted into the corresponding through-holes 29. By fastening the metal plates 23a and 23b from the outside by means of the bolts 31 and nuts 33, the opposite support elements 9a and 9b are fastened, thereby clamping the entire hydrogen sensor in a unitary condition.

    摘要: A hydrogen sensor includes a first electrode 3 and a second electrode 4 provided in contact with a proton conduction layer 2; a gas diffusion controlling portion 6 provided between a measurement gas atmosphere and the first electrode 3; and a support element (1a, 1b) for supporting the proton conduction layer 6, the first electrode 3, the second electrode 4, and the gas diffusion controlling portion 6. Hydrogen contained in a measurement gas introduced via the gas diffusion controlling portion 6 is dissociated, decomposed, or reacted by applying a voltage between the first electrode 3 and the second electrode 4 to thereby generate protons. Hydrogen concentration is obtained on the basis of a limiting current generated as a result of the generated protons being pumped out via the proton conduction layer 2 from the first electrode 3 side of the proton conduction layer to the second electrode 4 side of the proton conduction layer. Hydrogen concentration on the first electrode 2 is controlled to a partial pressure of not less than 10−12 atm, or more preferably, of not less than 3×10−12 atm and of less than 10−2 atm.

    摘要: A CO sensor and a CO-concentration measurement method which enables accurate measurement of CO concentration irrespective of the hydrogen concentration of a gas under measurement. By applying a first predetermined voltage between first and second electrodes 7 and 8, hydrogen contained in a gas under measurement which has been introduced into a first measurement space 2 via a first diffusion-controlling section 1 dissociates, decomposes, or reacts with another element to generate protons. The thus-generated protons are transported from the first electrode 7 to the second electrode 8 via a first proton-conductive layer 5 or protons are transported from the second electrode 8 to the first electrode 7 via the first proton-conductive layer 5 (when the hydrogen concentration of the measurement gas is extremely low), so that the hydrogen concentration within the first measurement space 2 is controlled to a constant level. The gas under measurement having a controlled hydrogen concentration is introduced into a second measurement space 4 via a second diffusion-controlling section 3, and a second predetermined voltage is applied between third and fourth electrodes 9 and 10. The CO concentration of the gas under measurement is obtained based on current (a limiting proton current) which flows between the third and fourth electrodes 9 and 10. Alternatively, the CO concentration of the gas under measurement is obtained from electromotive force generated between the third and fourth electrodes 9 and 10.

    摘要: A hydrogen gas sensor capable of accurately measuring hydrogen concentration of a measurement gas atmosphere in the presence of a variety of interfering gasses such as H2O and CO. In the hydrogen gas sensor, the flow sectional area of a diffusion-rate limiting portion 6 is rendered small; the electrode surfaces of first and second electrodes 3 and 4 are rendered large; and/or a solution containing a polymer electrolyte which may be identical to that of a proton-conductive layer 2 is applied onto the surfaces of the first and second electrodes 3 and 4 to thereby form a layer containing the polymer electrolyte. Thus, the rate of conduction of protons from the first electrode 3 to the second electrode 4 becomes greater than the rate at which protons are derived from hydrogen which is introduced onto the first electrode 3 via the diffusion-rate limiting portion 6.
