Component Specifications

Definition
An industrial-grade oxygen sensor is a critical component in Automated Beverage Container Deoxygenation Systems that continuously measures dissolved oxygen levels in liquid beverages during packaging. It employs electrochemical or optical sensing technology to detect oxygen concentrations in parts-per-billion (ppb) ranges, providing feedback to control systems that maintain optimal deoxygenation levels to prevent oxidation and extend shelf life.
Working Principle
Operates on electrochemical cell principles where oxygen molecules diffuse through a permeable membrane into an electrolyte solution, causing a redox reaction at electrodes that generates a measurable current proportional to oxygen concentration. Advanced versions use optical fluorescence quenching where oxygen molecules interact with a luminescent dye, reducing fluorescence intensity in relation to oxygen partial pressure.
Materials
Zirconium oxide ceramic sensing element (for high-temperature applications), platinum electrodes, polymer electrolyte membranes (Nafion), stainless steel 316L housing, fluoropolymer seals (Viton/FKM), gold-plated electrical contacts, tempered glass optical windows (for optical sensors)
