The sensing element of Figaro gas sensors is a tin dioxide (SnCte) semiconductor which has low conductivity in clean air. In the presence of a detectable gas, the sensor's conductivity increases depending on the gas concentration in the air. A simple electrical circuit can convert the change in conductivity to an output signal which corresponds to the gas concentration. The TGS 832 has high sensitivity to R-134a, the most promising alternative to R-12, commonly used in air conditioning systems and refrigerators. R-12 and R-22 are also detectable by TGS 832. With its good long term stability, TGS 832 is an excellent, low-cost sensor for CFC detection. | |||||||||||||
The figure below represents typical sensitivity characteristics, all data having been gathered at standard test conditions (see reverse side of this sheet). The Y-axis is indicated as sensor ressstance ratoo (Rs/Ro) which is defined as follows: Rs = Sensor resistance of displayed gases at various concentrations Ro = Sensor resistance at 100ppm of R-134a | |||||||||||||
The figure below represents typical temperature and humidity dependency characteristics. Again, the Y-axis is indicated as sensor ressstance ratoo (Rs/Ro), defined as follows: Rs = Sensor resistance at 100ppm of R-134a at various temperatures/humidities Ro = Sensor resistance at 100ppm of R-134a at 20°C and 65% R.H. | |||||||||||||
important note: operating conditions in which figaro sensors are used will vary with each customer's specific applications. figaro strongly recommends consulting our technical staff before deploying figaro sensors in your application and, in particular, when customer's target gases are not listed herein. figaro cannot assume any responsibility for any use of its sensors in a product or application for which sensor has not been specifically tested by figaro. |
