The measurement principles of a zirconia oxygen analyzer have been described above.
However, the relationship between oxygen concentration and the electromotive force of a cell is
only theoretical. Usually, in practice, a sensor shows a slight deviation from the theoretical value.
is conducted so that a calibration curve is obtained, which corrects the deviation from the
theoretical cell electromotive force.
9.1.2 Measurement Principle of Zirconia Humidity Analyzer
A solid electrolyte such as zirconia allows the conduction of oxygen ions at high temperatures.
Therefore, when a zirconia-plated element with platinum electrodes on both sides is heated up
from a high partial-oxygen pressure to a low partial-oxygen pressure, causing a voltage. When
a sample gas introduced into the zirconia-plated element with the measurement electrode, and
where, R = Gas constant
T = Absolute temperature
n: 4
F = Faraday’s constant
y = O2 vol % on the zirconia element measurement electrode
a = O2 vol % to 21.0 vol % O2 on the zirconia element reference electrode
The humidity analyzer uses a sample gas composed of water vapor and air.
