| 1998 | Invention patented by Keiji Kunimatsu and Hidemi Akita on May 14th, 1998. Abstract: A CO gas sensor according to the present invention includes a gas collecting container for collecting a measured gas therein; a detecting section provided within the gas collecting container and having at least a pair of electrodes positioned through electrolyte; and a voltage applying apparatus for applying voltage to the detecting section. One of the electrodes of the detecting section is a detection electrode having the capability of adsorbing at least one of hydrogenous gas and CO gas when a voltage is applied and then oxidizing it. By introducing a measured gas into a gas collecting container of the CO gas sensor and carrying out electrolysis according to a potential sweep method or a pulse method with the measured gas being in contact with the detecting section, a CO gas concentration in the measured gas can be measured based on an electrical current value obtained at the detecting section and changes of the electrical current with elapse of time. According to the CO gas sensor of the present invention, it is possible to accurately carry out detection and measurement of the concentration of CO gas when CO gas is to be detected or measured even in a gaseous atmosphere containing a relatively large amount of hydrogen gas and CO.sub.2 gas. |
