Abstract
We have presented an extended model to analyze the characteristics of transformer type inductive
conductivity sensor (TICS) and described a new sensor design based on it. The model contains
equivalent loss resistances (R1 and R4) and mutual coupling factors (k12 and k34) of two transformers.
With studying on this model, we have confirmed to be able to improve the sensing performance with
a proper design of signal receiver and prefer virtual short method to the repeater one. Based on this
virtual short method, we have designed a new sensor module and tested it with several corrosive
solutions such as sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide and sea water. And the sensing data have been
hardly affected by the permeability change of magnetic cores. The drive voltage amplitude dynamic

The electrolyte concentration is the most commonly estimated by the electric conductivity of the
solution.

The traditional method for measuring the conductivity is the conductive one. In this method two or
Jo
more metal electrodes are used to apply a voltage and measure the electric current flowing through
the solution. These sensors are the most generally used in many laboratories because of its high
sensitivity, simple structure and the ease to miniaturize [1, 2]. However, these are affected by
polarisation and the metal electrodes can be damaged by the corrosive electrolyte. So it is not
recommended to use the conductive sensor in the industrial field for a long time.
The inductive conductivity sensor is based on the electromagnetic induction and it has some
advantages such as a robust structure and a low maintenance cost over the conductive sensor. These
sensors have no bare metal electrode directly contacted with the solution, so they are not damaged by
the chemical corrosive solutions such as sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide.

There are two kinds of the inductive conductivity sensor, eddy current type and transformer type.

The eddy current type is based on that the magnetic permeability of the solution depends on the

measure the conductivity of underground water and they used a frequency above 100 KHz. Liao et al.

concentration sensor with digital frequency output and a planar structure sensing coil which is small

in size and easy to integrate and they used a frequency about 10MHz. The eddy current type
Jo
inductive sensor has several advantages such as an ease to miniaturize and a good stability. But this
method uses a high frequency up to 10MHz, so the sensing circuitry is relatively complicated.
The transformer type sensor has a robust structure and a good linearity. It is easy to install and
convenient to use in the industrial field. Striggow et al. [7] presented the results of a general
theoretical investigation of three commonly used types of inductive conductivity sensors, i.e., the
single transformer, the double transformer and the double transformer with an additional loop. A.J.
Fougere et al. [8. 9] presented improved transformer type inductive sensor for long-term deployment
in biologically active ocean regions and their sensor was not affected by the external field. Ribeiro et
al. [10] presented an inductive sensor constructed as a double transformer, to be utilized to measure
the water salinity in the sea and estuaries. Linda et al. [11, 12] presented the design, development and
of
testing of a salinity sensor system for estuary studies and the sensor was based on the double

remarkably by the change of the permeability of the magnetic core. However when Rr = 0, the
output signal is scarcely changed by the change of the permeability. This result gives us a
possibility to design a new sensor independent of the permeability change of the magnetic

Sequentially the influence of ferrite permeability change by temperature to the measuring was
studied. The sensor module was designed by using virtual short circuit in order to reduce the
measuring. Firstly the permeability of the magnetic core was measured heating the sensor. Then the
sensing value was recorded heating the sensor with 100Ω precision resistor as a solution loop resistor
(Fig.11a). The temperature coefficient of the resistor is about 0.005%/℃ and the resistance change
of the resistor by temperature can be neglected. By using a constant temperature bath the sensor was
heated from 20℃ to 70℃ with 5℃ interval and at each temperature keeping point the measuring
was done several times for 20 minutes. The test results are given in Fig.13.
