How to Choose: Zirconia vs. Fuel Cell Oxygen Sensor
Zirconia Sensor
- Pros: Solid-state, low maintenance, unaffected by air exposure, cost-effective.
- Cons: Affected by organic solvents, may show high readings or suffer long-term damage.
- Best for: Low-solvent environments, minimal maintenance needs.
Fuel Cell Sensor
- Pros: Accurate readings, unaffected by solvents.
- Cons: Sensitive to air (fails in 7 days), requires replacement every 1-2 years, higher maintenance cost.
- Best for: High-solvent environments, precise measurements.
Recommendation:
- With solvents: Choose fuel cell for accuracy.
- Without solvents: Choose zirconia for durability and lower costs.
