<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas sensor capable of enhancing the ventilation properties of the atmospheric gas introduced into an element case and capable of uniformly heating a gas sensor element. <P>SOLUTION: The atmospheric gas is passed through a large number of honeycomb-like passages of the base plate part 11A and cap part 11B constituted of a honeycomb material of the element case 11 and heated to a predetermined temperature to be introduced into the element case 11. At this time, the atmospheric gas is diffused into the element case 11 with good ventilation properties by the rectifying action of the respective honeycomb-like passages of low pressure loss to efficiently and uniformly heat the gas sensor element 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
