| 摘要 |
An air/fuel ratio sensor having two units of probe is disclosed each of which comprises two sensing elements, each having a pair of porous electrodes on oppostie sides of an oxygen ion-conductive solid electrolyte; a gas compartment which is formed in contact with one porous electrode for each sensing element and which communicates with the gaseous atmosphere of interest by way of a gas diffusion limiting portion; and an internal reference oxygen source which is formed in contact with one sensing element on the porous electrode side which is opposite the side where said gas compartment is provided. The oxygen source communicates with the outside by way of a leakage resisting portion. The gas compartment in the first unit of probe communicates directly with the gaseous atmosphere of interest by way of a first gas diffusion limiting portion while the gas compartment in the second unit of probe communicates with the gas in the first unit of probe by way of a second gas diffusion limiting portion. |
