A sensor unit (10) for detecting a gas is configured with a pressure-tight measuring channel (11), with a gas inlet (12) for introducing the gas into the measuring channel, with a gas outlet (13) for removing the gas from the measuring channel, and with a pump unit (14) for evacuating the measuring channel. The measuring channel has a gas sensor (15) for detecting the gas and a heating unit (16) for heating the gas sensor. The sensor unit (10) is configured to be operated in a measuring mode and in a regeneration mode. The measuring channel (11) is evacuated and the gas sensor (15) is heated in the regeneration mode. |
