Gold Probe Oxygen Probe
The world's best-selling zirconia oxygen probe measures and controls oxygen, dew point and carbon potential in heat treatment furnace atmospheres.
Oxygen probes
Controls gas quality in endothermic generators by measuring oxygen and dew point as a direct replacement for lambda sensors.
The SSi Bazooka Probe is designed to control gas quality in endothermic gas generators. It is a reliable, high-value sensor for dew point control that successfully replaces lambda sensors. The probe uses the heat of the generator itself to bring its zirconia sensing cell up to temperature, so no external power supply and no calibration are required.
No sample pump is needed: the positive pressure of the endothermic generator draws the sampled exhaust gas across the sensing element. An integral sample well maximises the residence time of the atmosphere over the zirconia cell. Sidewall mounting allows easy installation and maintenance while the generator is operational, and installation at relatively low temperatures extends the working life of the probe.
The Bazooka Probe is a direct replacement for re-heat well probes. Its output is connected to the controller, and trim air or gas is introduced after the carburettor and before the mixing pump. In practice, a service life of five years or more without maintenance is achievable.
