Construction and Working Criteria of O2 Concentration Sensor

There are several devices are being used to make it sure that, the oxygen supply is aptly running without any obstacle and with  the help of O2 concentration sensor, it would be the right approach to make it sure that, the entire sensors work appropriately and capable to deliver the best result according to your own requirement. This is the main reason, it would be great to invest on cutting-edge medical sensors that provide accurate data from the life saving devices like oxygen concentrators.

Electrochemical oxygen sensors are primarily used to measure oxygen levels in ambient air. They measure a chemical reaction within the sensor that creates an electrical output proportional to the oxygen level. Because some electrochemical sensors produce their own analog current, they can be self-powered, making them useful for measuring oxygen gas battery-operated underwater diving and hand-held personal safety devices. Examples could include breathalyzers, respiratory sensors, and blood glucose sensors. These sensors work simultaneously with medical gas flow sensor. Therefore, it is quite possible to come with right kind of things that are certainly making something more interesting with the help all these kind of sensors and their working criteria.

In terms of sensor advantages, electrochemical sensors are sought after due to their lower power requirements, lower detection limits, and are often less directly affected by interfering gases. They also tend to be the least expensive kind of sensor.

A challenge for electrochemical oxygen sensors is that they depend on a chemical processes that they are temperature dependent. The output of most electrochemical sensors will rely heavily on temperature compensation to provide reliable readings over a broad scope of ambient conditions.

Another challenge for electrochemical oxygen sensors is that over time the chemical reaction stops, typically between 1 and 3 years depending on the sensor design. Storing them in an oxygen-free environment will not add to the life span of the sensor. As the sensor ages it requires frequent recalibration and is not as accurate as other sensors. Most of these sensors are equipped with Gasboard-8500FS that works excellently and capable to deliver best result.
