How does the Paracube help to overcome the issues with using electrochemical sensors?
A short and variable operating life. The electrolyte in the electrochemical sensor is consumed by the oxygen being measured. The sensor will stop working correctly when the electrolyte is nearly depleted. The depletion is accelerated by exposure to high concentrations of oxygen and temperatures in excess of room temperature. The Paracube does not use consumable or depleting materials in its construction. This means its life will match that of the equipment it is installed in. The need to calibrate frequently The characteristics of the electrolyte and the materials of construction of the electrochemical sensor change significantly with temperature, humidity, and duration of exposure to oxygen. This means that a daily calibration procedure is required, which includes exposure of the sensor to air. Not only are frequent calibrations time-consuming, but they increase the opportunity for an error to be made. The Paracube design and construction from high stability materials provide excellen
