Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor
Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor are used in all cars made for the United States. They are used in cars made for many other countries as well. When the oxygen sensor in your car goes bad, your car runs differently. Gasoline engines run best when the air-fuel mixture is correct. The air-fuel mixture must be controlled to reduce exhaust pollutant emissions. Lowest emissions are achieved with a slightly lean mixture. The catalytic converter, an essential part for emission control, also likes a controlled lean air-fuel mixture. The oxygen sensor detects the air-fuel mixture of a gasoline engine by measuring the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas.
The fuel-injection system will trim the mixture richer or leaner based on the signal from the oxygen sensor. The typical installation is in the exhaust manifold, where the hot exhaust gases will pass by it. High temperature(>350 C) is required for the sensor to operate. These sensors utilize the properties of ionic conductivity of the zirconia solid electrolyte and are highly reliable even under the most severe environmental conditions. Developed during five years of intensive research and development - and following almost four years of field trials - the Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor sets a new oxygen measurement standard for oceanographic research.
The new Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor is a Clark polarographic membrane type in which careful choices of materials, geometry, and sensor chemistry are combined with superior electronics interfacing and calibration methodology to yield major gains in performance. Dissolved Oxygen measurements are essential to water quality, Biology, Earth Science and Chemistry investigations. Our Honda Civic Oxygen Sensor accommodates more applications, allowing students to explore these subjects more thoroughly. Wider range (0 to 20 mg/L) ensures the sensor does not top out before the experiment is over.
- Excellent resolution (0.01 mg/L) allows students to see small changes.
- Temperature compensated -- essential for consistent measurements.
- Typical Applications:
- Measure oxygen consumption by yeast during respiration
- Investigate how the presence of organic matter affects DO levels
- Study biological oxygen demand (B.O.D.)
