The Sensor Enclosure
The sensor enclosure, which is shown in Figure 1-2 below, houses the
sample measurement components. The functions of these components
are as follows:
• a zirconium oxide (zirconia) oxygen sensor converts the oxygen
concentration of the sample gas into a mV output signal.
• a sensor furnace heats the oxygen sensor and the sample gas to the
optimum temperature of 700°C.
• a thermocouple precisely regulates the temperature of the oxygen
sensor and the sample gas.
• an inlet needle valve and an outlet flowmeter adjust the sample gas
flow to 1,000 ± 150 cc/min (2.1 ± 0.3 SCFH).
