Laminated Planar Oxygen Sensor

Laminated Planar Oxygen Sensor

A laminated planar oxygen sensor is a specialized type of oxygen sensor used in automotive and industrial applications to measure the concentration of oxygen in gases. It is characterized by its unique design, which incorporates multiple layers of materials to enhance performance and durability.

Laminated planar oxygen sensors operate based on the Nernst equation, which relates the oxygen concentration to the voltage generated across the sensor. When exposed to a gas mixture, the sensor measures the difference in oxygen partial pressure between the ambient air and the gas being tested.

These sensors are widely used in automotive exhaust systems to monitor and control the air-fuel ratio, thereby optimizing engine performance and reducing emissions. They are also employed in industrial applications for combustion control and environmental monitoring.
