BA 2000
Description
The injector built into the filter housing constantly supplies the ZrO2 sensor with fresh process gas. The self-regulating probe
part is heated to 180 °C (356 °F) to prevent condensation. The ZrO2 sensor in the BA 2000 provides accurate, extremely fast mea-
surements.
No reference gas needed for operation. The sensor's 1-point calibration uses instrument air also needed to operate the injector. If
necessary, 2-point calibration may also be performed. The test gas additionally needed for calibration in this case should ideally
correspond with the O2 concentration of the sample gas.
A filter built into the probe protects the measuring cell from dust exposure. The filter can be changed in seconds without tools
by simply turning the handle 90°.
The filter elements are available in ceramic, sintered or star-pleated stainless steel.
Together with the filters listed, the BA 2000 can be used for gases with a dust load of up to approx. 2 g/m³.
The BA 2000 will provide all the information required for safe operation. The controller features a display with key pad for enter-
ing commands, alarm output, calibration function and 4 - 20 mA output signal.

Oxygen measurement principle with ZrO2 cells

The NERNST equation serves as the basis for determining the oxygen concentration in gases by zirconium dioxide measuring
cell.
U Cell voltage in V
R Universal gas constant, R = 8.31447 J/(molּK)
po2 , air T Measuring temperature in K
(l) U = RT In
4F po2 , sample gas F Faraday-constant, F = 96485.34 C/mol
po2 , air Partial pressure of oxygen at the reference electrode in dry air in Pa
po2 , Sample gas Partial pressure of oxygen at the reference electrode in dry air in Pa
The conductivity of the oxide ions of zirconium oxide increases exponentially with the temperature and reaches adequate val-
ues above 600 °C (1112 °F).
Provided the total pressures of the gases are about equal on both electrodes (in this case volume concentrations can be used in
place of partial pressures), after adding the numeric values for the constants in equation (I) results in the following equation for
the oxygen concentration.
φ o2 Oxygen concentration in sample gas in Vol.-%
U
(-46,42 . ) U Potential difference in mV
(lI) φ o2 = 20,9 . e T
T Measuring temperature in K
20,9 Oxygen concentration in dry air in Vol.-%
The BA 2000 uses a potentiometric cell. The reference and the sample gas electrode are located in two different gas chambers
with different oxygen partial pressure. The two chambers are separated by the gas-tight ZrO2 tube. The electrodes generate
e.m.f. (electromotive force) proportional to the partial pressure difference of the oxygen. The NERNST equation applies.
