Prepare charts on relevant to diagnosis of sensors/actuators

(Oxygen sensor)

1.0 Brief Introduction:

An oxygen sensor (or lambda sensor, where lambda refers to air–fuel equivalence ratio, usually denoted
by λ) is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O2) in the gas or liquid being
analyzed. It was developed by Robert Bosch GmbH during the late 1960s under the supervision of Dr.
Günter Bauman. The original sensing element is made with a thimble-shaped zirconia ceramic coated on
both the exhaust and reference sides with a thin layer of platinum and comes in both heated and unheated
forms. The planar-style sensor entered the market in 1990 and significantly reduced the mass of the
ceramic sensing element, as well as incorporating the heater within the ceramic structure. [1] This resulted in
a sensor that started sooner and responded faster. The most common application is to measure the exhaust-
gas concentration of oxygen for internal combustion engines in automobiles and other vehicles in order to
calculate and, if required, dynamically adjust the air-fuel ratio so that catalytic converters can work
optimally, and also determine whether the converter is performing properly or not. Divers also use a
similar device to measure the partial pressure of oxygen in their breathing gas. An oxygen sensor will
typically generate up to about 0.9 volt when the fuel mixture is rich and there is little unburned oxygen in
the exhaust.

2.0 Aim of The Micro-Project:

This micro-project aims at:

 To study how the oxygen sensor works
 To study how to the oxygen sensor applications

3.0 Course Outcomes:

 Maintain the automobile electrical and electronic
 Test battery and charging systems.
 Troubleshoot starting and ignition systems.
4.0 Literature review:
The requirement for the detection of oxygen in industrial safety applications has historically
been met by electrochemical technologies based on the consumption of metal anodes.
Products using this approach have been technically and commercially successful for more
than three decades. However, a combination of new requirements is driving the development
of alternative approaches offering fresh opportunities and challenges. This paper reviews
some key aspects in the evolution of consumable anode products and highlights recent
developments in alternative technologies aimed at meeting current and anticipated future
needs in this important application.

5.0 Proposed Methodology:

1. Group discussion for the micro project assigned.

2. Collecting information through websites and books.
3. Distributing the work equally in our group and planning to execute it.
4. Timely submission of Micro-project Report.
