The AlO (alumina) carrier as shown above (1) has a through hole inside (2,3) because it is a cylinder type under the electrodeposition method.
This structure minimizes the dispersion of the output value and improves the sensitivity of gas detection because of the constant thick carrier and the wide surface (¡ØPatent No. 0197062). |
A general catalytic combustion type gas sensor has a carrier structure of a shell-like type. Accordingly, the carrier has no space (1) inside and the surface is narrow. In addition, the surface area (2) is not constant and shows low sensitivity. This may produce inconstant values and bring many problems. |
