3.2 Oxygen Measurement
Due to the measuring principle the electro-
chemical oxygen cell requires a minimum
internal consumption of oxygen (residual
humidity avoids drying of the cell). Supplying
cells continuously with dry sample gas of low
grade oxygen concentration or with sample
gas free of oxygen could result in a reversible
detuning of O
2
sensitivity. The output signal will
become unstable, but response time remains
constant.
For correct measurement the cell needs con-
tinuously to be supplied with concentrations
of at least 0.1 Vol.-% O
2
. We recommend to
use the cells if need be in alternating mode,
means to purge cells with conditioned (not
dried, but dust removed) ambient air when
measurement pauses.
If it is necessary to interrupt the oxygen sup-
ply for several hours or days, the cell has to
regenerate (supply cell for about one day with
ambient air). Temporarily ushing with nitrogen
(N
2
) for less than 1 h (e.g. for analyzer zero-
ing purpose) has no inuence on measuring
characteristics.
