Tubes are used to perform a focused cleaning of a sensor tip. By surrounding the tip with burn-off "jets," the tip is invariably cleaned by a purge procedure even when strong atmosphere currents are present in a furnace. In dirty environments, an additional purge port, without a focused tube, is used to ensure cleaning of the upper portion of the sheath to prevent soot causing seizure of a sensor element. Alternatively, a means for saturating a sensor's active element with cleaning air is provided, such that a single tube directs air into a multi-port ring at a sensor's tip or into the tip of a sheath, which has channels/holes directing air for purposes of saturating the tip from multiple directions.
