ABSTRACT:
An electrochemical measuring sensor for the determination of the air/fuel ratio in exhaust gases of internal combustion engines both in the low-fuel and also in the fuel-rich range with a sensor element with an electrochemical oxygen concentration cell and an oxygen pumping cell with solid electrolyte base is proposed, in which the sensor element is arranged in a housing, capable of insertion in the exhaust gas pipe, in a manner such that the electrodes of the electrochemical oxygen concentration cell and of the oxygen pumping cell of the sensor element in the measuring sensor are situated outside the exhaust gas pipe, the communication with the atmosphere taking place via openings in the housing and the communication with the exhaust gas taking place via a diffusion slit. The sensor element is characterized by a particularly simple construction, free oxygen being available to the oxygen pumping cell both in the lean and also in the rich lambda range. The electrodes of the oxygen pumping cell can be of large dimension, for which reason only comparatively small current densities are necessary. A severe cooling of the sensor element in the electrode range due to cold exhaust gas (test gas) is prevented.
