Method and apparatus for measuring a gaseous medium with a chemical sensor

摘要

The novelty is that a process and assembly measures the presence of a gas medium (1) by means of a chemical sensor (12) operating in a nominal range and generating a detection signal (14). The chemical sensor (12) is exposed to a mixture of the gas sample diluted with another gas (2) as required. The dilution ratio of the gases is constantly regulated. The dilution ratio is determined by measuring the concentration of a given substance (02) within the mixed gases. The oxygen in the dilution gas (2) is present at a known constant concentration, and its presence is measured in the sample gas flow (1) and the gas mixture (3).
