Abstract

High-temperature gas sensors are often affected by non-constant ambient conditions, especially with respect to mass flow variations. Steady operation conditions are essential for attaining stable results. So, appropriate protection caps must provide an optimum level of gas access to the sensors’ functional structures to allow for a sufficient response but also maximal homogeneity. Therefore, cap design was carried out through modelling and simulations. For verification, we used a specially developed sensor structure with screen-printed thermocouples to measure temperature homogeneity inside individually designed caps, which were created via additive manufacturing.
