"The LuminOx Flow-Through Optical Oxygen Sensor Allows For A Clean Gas Sample Stream Directly Into The Sensor Which Can Be Completely Removed From The Process Environment. The LuminOx Flow-through Optical Oxygen Sensor is developed and manufactured by SST, it is part of the LuminOx family, which is a range of factory calibrated oxygen sensors which measure ambient oxygen levels using the principle of fluorescence quenching by oxygen, also known as luminescence quenching. The LuminOx Flow-through Optical Oxygen Sensor (LOX-02-F) is an extension to the standard range of LuminOx oxygen sensors providing a faster response. The flow-through housing style is sealed on the base which allows for a clean gas sample stream into the sensor which can be completely removed from the process environment. A flow-through housing allows for better sample gas management and options in terms of where the sensor can be situated. The patented technology allows SST to produce a range of sensors that are based on a non-depleting operating principle. This can contribute to the LuminOx sensors having a comparably longer lifetime that other competitor technologies, such as galvanic sensors, for similar applications. LuminOx oxygen sensors each have an internal sensor for temperature and barometric pressure compensation, meaning the customer does not need to consider this in their design. It also communicates directly to the customer’s USART so no signal conditioning circuitry is required.
