What is an Oxygen Analyzer?
It is a device that measures the level of oxygen in a system therefore determines if the level needs to be increased or not. Oxygen analyzers in turn use a kind of oxygen sensor for their functioning. An analyzer uses a sensor cell constructed of ceramic materials to measure the oxygen level. Recently since industrial, vehicular, or rather all types of emissions are given more emphasis so as to decrease pollution, industrial users want the analyzers to be more accurate in the measurements and repeatable in terms of usage. Regular users of oxygen analyzers also want it to be more calibrated and in need of less maintenance. There are various types of oxygen analyzers and users have a wide range of choice from the following: • Ambient temperature-Oxygen Analyzer • Electrochemical-Oxygen Analyzer • Paramagnetic-Oxygen Analyzer • Polarographic- Oxygen Analyzer • Zirconium Oxide- Oxygen Analyzer. The ambient temperature electrochemical sensor is also referred to as a galvanic sensor which is
