The Galvanic Oxygen Cell DN Type is completely interchangeable with the Galvanic Oxygen Cell Type N.
They are diffusion limited metal/air batteries. The oxygen in the sample diffuses through the barrier and reaches
the cathode. Here it is reduced to hydroxyl ions which, in turn, pass through the electrolyte to oxidize the metal
anode.
A Current, proportional to the rate of consumption of oxygen, is generated when the cathode/anode circuit is
completed, the Galvanic Oxygen Cell operating in what is virtually a short-circuit condition. The cell current of
is a direct function of the rate at which oxygen reaches the cathode.
Technical Specifications of the Galvanic Oxygen Cell DN Type
Range:
1ppm to 50% or 100ppm to 50% O2 (in N2)
Typical Cell Life:
100,000 oxygen % hours or 2 years, whichever is the sooner.
Stability
Better than 2% of reading per month, or 1ppm whichever is greater.
Sample Flow
Between 100 and 300 ml/min for optimum operation.
Sample Pressure
The pressure applied to the cell is determined by the vent pressure which should be atmospheric for quoted accuracy. Note: The sensor must not be subjected to rapid pressure changes.
Sample Temperature
-5 to +40°C (non-condensing)
Speed of Response
T90 is variable depending on sensor and concentration and is approximately 3s at % levels and 20s at ppm levels. The ppm figure assumes that the sensor is purged down.
Environmental Conditions
Temperature
0 to 40 °C - continuous
-5 to + 50 °C – intermittent
Altitude
up to 2000m
Humidity
Max relative humidity 80% non-condensing
Pollution degree
Pollution degree 2
