TDLAS oxygen sensor for industrial process control

Overview

The TDLAS oxygen sensor is an innovative solution designed to provide precise oxygen measurement for industrial process control. Utilizing tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, this sensor offers exceptional selectivity, eliminating the need for regular calibration. This makes it an ideal choice for industries requiring reliable and low-maintenance oxygen monitoring. The sensor's optical stand-off capability, using sapphire windows, allows it to function effectively in harsh environments, such as those found in combustion processes within reciprocating engines.

Technical specifications

Key features:

• Unmatched selectivity: TDLAS technology provides precise oxygen measurement without regular calibration.
• Optical stand-off: Utilizes sapphire windows to protect the sensor from harsh environments.
• Proven design: Based on extensive experience with combustion sensors in reciprocating engines.
• Scalable testing: Includes plans for benchtop, simulated environment, and customer site testing.

Technology readiness level

This TDLAS oxygen sensor is currently at technology readiness level 3. The development plan includes system design, equipment procurement, benchtop testing against standards, testing in simulated harsh environments, and testing at customer sites. The final stages involve data analysis and report writing, ensuring the sensor is fully validated for industrial applications.
