Emission Sensor

Emission sensor is an electronic device used to know the proportion of oxygen in the liquid or gas mixture. It finds its applications in the automotive and medical devices. The DEP (Detroit Engineered Products) emission sensor has various applications and advantages in the automotive industry as it helps to reduce emissions from the vehicles, contributing less to the pollution caused by vehicles. It also used for diving application, to measure the oxygen levels in the cylinder while diver goes deep down in the sea.

In the automotive industry, the emission sensor is mounted inside the exhaust manifold to supervise the unburned oxygen levels while the emissions are out from the engine. The sensor sends a voltage signal according to the reaction taking place in the exhaust; this gives an idea about the air-fuel ratio whether the mixture is burning rich or lean. Tampering of this signal can lead to wrong readings and malfunction of the emission sensor, so due care must be taken every time. Further, it can also set the air-fuel ratio such that the catalytic converters operate at their highest efficiency. In addition to this, the emission rates can also be controlled which reduces the amount of unburnt fuel and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere. It is also used to determine the oxygen levels in some medical devices like respirators, anaesthesia monitors and oxygen concentrators. But scientist’s use a little different approach in this field.
