Installation oxygen sensors

Industrial bioreactors can withstand up to 3 atmospheres positive pressure. Large fermenters are equipped with a lit vertical sight glass for inspecting the contents of the reactor. Side parts for pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen sensors are a minimum requirement. A steam sterilisation sample port is provided. Mechanical agitators are installed on the top or bottom of the tank for adequate mixing. 

Asphyxiation is another invisible hazard. If the oxygen level in a room decreases below a certain level you may become unconscious and die. In general, big laboratories are better than small labs because the natural volume of the room will help to dilute these effects. Likewise, an efficiently air conditioned room will change the air in the room fairly rapidly and this will also help keep oxygen levels up. If your NMR magnet is in a small room, it may be necessary to install oxygen depletion sensors. These will alert you should the oxygen level fall below a safe value. 

In order to provide the proper stoichiometrically balanced exhaust gas composition required for use of the three-way catalyst, an air/fuel ratio control system had to be developed for the vehicle. Closed-loop electronic air-fuel ratio control required the installation of an exhaust oxygen sensor and an on-board microprocessor to provide the necessary control capability. 

Recently on board diagnosis (OBD) system requires the detection of conversion efficiency change of a TWC and an oxygen sensor is installed even in the downstream of the catalyst. Rear oxygen sensor is installed in a cleaner exhaust gas than the front oxygen sensor. Therefore, the sensor itself is hardly deteriorated and it is utilized for lambda point compensation of the front oxygen sensor. 

The zirconia sensor is installed between the engine and the catalytic converter in the exhaust system of automobiles. Hence, the oxygen sensor is exposed to severe conditions ... 

In the above-described set-up (Fig. 8.16), the physical absorption of oxygen in water was used to measure the gas to liquid mass transfer. Thin-film fluorescence quenching-based sensors were installed to determine the oxygen concentration at the inlet and exit of the reactor. From the measured oxygen concentrations, the mass transfer coefficient was calculated based on the reactor-based liquid velocity ... 

Sensor. The control of the exhaust composition was essential to maintain the air-to-fuel ratio close to stoichiometric for simultaneous conversion of all three pollutants. This control came about with the invention of the 02 sensor.21,22 The sensor head of this device was installed in the exhaust immediately at the inlet to the catalyst and was able to measure the 02 content instantly and precisely. It generates a voltage consistent with the Nemst equation in which the partial pressure of 02 (P02)exhaust in the exhaust develops a voltage (E) relative to a reference. The exhaust electrode was Pt deposited on a solid oxygen ion conductor of yttrium-stabilized zirconia (Zr02). The reference electrode, also Pt, was deposited on the opposite side of the electrolyte but was physically mounted outside the exhaust and sensed the partial pressure (P02)ref in the atmosphere. E0 is the standard state or thermodynamic voltage. R is the universal gas constant, T the absolute temperature, n the number of electrons transferred in the process, and F the Faraday constant. 

Figure 6.129 shows a modular analyser system. The flameproof analyser head (left) is suitable for zone 1 installation as well as the central unit (right), ex-protected by pressurization - p The analyser head covers a wide range of analyser methods, e.g. such as described in Figs 6.124-6.128 and others based upon infrared absorption or electrochemical sensors for oxygen. 

Even in the safe operation conditions, contingency fire extinguishing systan is still needed in the biomass drying when the drying temperature is over 200°C. A simple method is to install water spay system, which is triggered by temperature sensor, smoke detector, or oxygen detector.
