Zirconium Dioxide Oxygen Sensors Used in Biomass Boiler Market
Jul 13 2011
We now live in a world where resources are dwindling – put simply: there are fewer things left for us to burn. Bioenergy is certainly one of the answers but, just because it is a “renewable” energy source, that does not mean we can afford to be wasteful with it. In order to maximise return on investment in the installation of a new biomass boiler, for example, running costs need to be kept to a minimum.
Many manufacturers of biomass heating equipment have discovered the benefit of using oxygen sensors to optimise the process of burning fuel and that’s great for the environment and the end-user’s pocket
Zirconium Dioxide sensors are the most common type of sensor used in the field. SST Sensing’s range of ZrO2 sensors are accurate to within a fraction of a percent of reading and robust enough that they are used on aircrafts. The full porous stainless steel cap allows a free flow of the flue gasses to reach the sensor while trapping any soot or debris which might lead to sensor malfunction. SST’s sensors will last for years even in badly regulated combustion processes before the dirt and pollution has any effect.
