  • Page 7: Overview

    Overview The Teledyne Electronic Technologies Analytical Instruments (TETAI) Model 3300PA is a microprocessor-based percent oxygen analyzer for real- time measurement of the percent of oxygen in inert gases, or in a wide variety of gas mixtures. It features simple operation, fast response, and a compact, rugged construction.

  • Page 11: Operational Theory

    Micro-Fuel Cell Sensor 2.2.1 Principles of Operation The oxygen sensor used in the Model 3300PA is a Micro-Fuel Cell designed and manufactured by TAI. It is a sealed, disposable electrochemical transducer. The active components of the Micro-Fuel Cell are a cathode, an anode, and the aqueous KOH electrolyte in which they are immersed.
  • Page 12: Anatomy Of A Micro-Fuel Cell

    Near the diffusion membrane lies the oxygen sensing element—the cathode. The anode structure is larger than the cathode. It is made of lead and is designed to maximize the amount of metal available for chemical reaction. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...

    2.2.4 The Effect of Pressure In order to state the amount of oxygen present in the sample as a percent- age of the gas mixture, it is necessary that the sample diffuse into the cell under constant pressure. Teledyne Analytical Instruments...
