Development of high temperature oxygen sensor for lead bismuth eutectic

  • 1. Reactor Engineering Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai (India)

Description

The theory of the oxygen sensor for molten lead has been briefed. The construction and testing of an Yttria Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) probe is described. The oxygen concentration in the liquid metal was varied and the response of the oxygen sensor in terms of EMF is studied. The response of the sensor is similar to the theoretical prediction. But sophisticated temperature control and EMF measurement and recording system are required to improve the accuracy of the sensor. Accurate and fine control of dissolved oxygen control system is required to calibrate the Oxygen sensor at different oxygen concentration levels
