1 - 15GENINFOFEATURESO 2 sensorThe O 2 sensor has been adopted to enable the catalyst to function at a high degree of efficiency bymaintaining the air-fuel mixture near the stoichiometric ratio (14.7:1). This sensor, which is a zirco-nia type, utilizes the oxygen ion conductivity of the solid electrolyte for detecting the oxygen concen-tration levels. In actual operation, a zirconia tube made of solid electrolyte is exposed in the exhaustgas, so that the exterior of the zirconia tube is in contact with the exhaust gas and the interior is incontact with the atmosphere whose oxygen concentration level is known. When a difference in theoxygen concentration level is created between the outside and the inside of the zirconia tube, theoxygen ion passes through the zirconia element and generates an electromotive force. The electro-motive force increases when the oxygen concentration level is low (rich air-fuel ratio) and the elec-tromotive force decreases when the oxygen concentration level is high (lean air-fuel ratio). Aselectromotive force is generated in accordance with the concentration of the exhaust gas, the result-ant voltage is input into the ECU in order to correct the duration of the injection of fuel.1 Inner cover2 Outer cover3 Zirconia tube4 Exhaust gas5 AtmosphereÈ AtmosphereÉ Inner electrodeÊ Zirconia elementË Outer electrodeÌ Porous ceramic layerÍ Exhaust gas
