Abstract
The use of gas sensors for monitoring and controlling combustion processes to improve efficiency and reduce emissions has long been established.(1) Generally to achieve control of combustion processes the air-to-fuel ratio of the process needs to be determined. As the air-to-fuel ratio is related to the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gases, oxygen has become a critical gas for sensors to measure.
