CO2Meter Announces New Zirconia Oxygen Sensors

A first hand glance at the new Oxy-Flex Oxygen Analyzer and Zirconia Oxygen Sensor System, now available for a variety of applications in combustion control, industrial boilers, gas, coal, incubation and many others.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are an unwelcome byproduct of combustion. The Gas Analysis Probe Oxygen Analyzer can be used to control oxygen levels in flue gas.

IntoN2 manufactures a line of high pressure, high purity nitrogen generators in their factory located in Minden, Nevada. These nitrogen generators are primarily used for laser cutting and specialized manufacturing, but are used in other industries requiring up to 5 nines (0.99999%) of high-purity nitrogen. Because they generate nitrogen, I was curious when IntoN2 began purchasing our TR250Z 25% oxygen sensors, and decided to give them a call. I spoke with Charlie Winans, a control engineer at IntoN2, and asked why they needed an oxygen sensor in a nitrogen generator? Charlie explained that one of the features IntoN2 has incorporated...

If you work with gases like we do at CO2Meter, you already know that the ideal gas law PV=nRT shows that absolute gas concentration decreases as temperature increases. This relationship is important to anyone measuring oxygen levels during combustion, fermentation, distillation or algae production. But like they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words.” That’s what we discovered when we measured the change in oxygen gas levels in a sealed environment using our UVFlux 25% Oxygen sensor and Gaslab software. Using the built-in RS232 protocol, the UVFlux sensor samples both the oxygen level and the temperature inside the sensor...
