SB-95-12SB-95-12一氧化碳传感器

The SB-95-12 is a tin dioxide semiconductor gas sensor which has an excellent performance in

detecting both CO and methane selectively with single sensor element. This unique feature was realized by using a mini-bead type sensing element with a periodic temperature change  peration method.

Structure

Gas sensitive semiconductor material is a mini bead type and a heater coil and electrode wire are embedded in the element. The sensing element is installed in the metal housing which

uses double stainless steel mesh (100 mesh) in the path of gas flow. This sensor unit is placed in an external housing which contains active charcoal filter (Fig 1).

Operating conditions When the sensor is operated with high/ low periodic operation (Fig 2), sensor signal changes according to the temperature dependency characteristics. By detecting the sensor signal at sufficient timings (at a high temperature for methane and at a low temperature for CO, selective detection of both methane and CO has been achieved. Fig 3a and 3b show the sensitivity characteristics of the SB-95- 12, at high and low temperaturesignals respectively.
