Gas sensor

A gas sensor detects the concentration of a specific gas on the basis of a pump current that flows when oxygen is pumped out from a measurement chamber, so that an oxygen concentration in the measurement chamber becomes a predetermined low concentration, the oxygen that is pumped out being oxygen th...

Zusammenfassung:A gas sensor detects the concentration of a specific gas on the basis of a pump current that flows when oxygen is pumped out from a measurement chamber, so that an oxygen concentration in the measurement chamber becomes a predetermined low concentration, the oxygen that is pumped out being oxygen that is generated when the specific gas is reduced in measurement chamber in a case where the specific gas is an oxide or being oxygen that is generated when a gas obtained as a result of conversion of the specific gas to an oxide is reduced in the measurement chamber in a case where the specific gas is a non-oxide. Further, the gas sensor corrects the pump current or the concentration of the specific gas on the basis of the oxygen concentration of the measurement-object gas when the measurement-object gas is in a rich atmosphere.
