Apparatus for measuring the partial pressure of gases dissolved in liquids

摘要

An method and an apparatus for measuring the partial pressure of gases dissolved in liquids in plants for carrying out biotechnological and food technological processes includes a measuring space which is separated by a gas-permeable diaphragm which is permeable for the gas to be determined. A light emission source produces a light ray with a wavelength which is absorbed by the gas to be determined. The light ray is directed into the measuring space. A measuring device is provided for determining the light ray leaving the measuring space. The measuring space, the light emission and the measuring device are arranged in a rod-shaped probe. The probe is capable of being sterilized. The measuring space is filled with a fluid which does not chemically react with the gas to be determined.
