Usage Of Gore Protective Vents And Gore Performance Membranes In Ec, Ndir And Mos Gas Sensors
A Broad Portfolio
Every sensor’s design and components differ, according to its function and operating environment. That’s why our portfolio includes a selection of GORE Performance Membranes, as well as a range of GORE Protective Vents, which incorporate our proprietary membrane technologies.
Protective Vents
Our high-perm membranes’ structure ensures the gas gets through, even as it protects portable or static devices from ingress of moisture, particles or other contaminants that can result from condensation, high-pressure cleaning, shocks, vibration or other environmental factors.
Dust Cover
Prevents ingress of dust and liquid but allows gas to go through. Provides mechanical protection for exterior of sensor cells in EC sensors, NDIR sensors as well as MOS sensors.
Flow or Diffusion Control
Reduces pressure peaks due to rapid change of outside pressure, or controls the diffusion of defined gases to measure higher concentrations.
Sealing Ring
Used as an additional seal within the sensor stack.
Membrane at Working Electrode
Barrier prevents electrolyte from escaping and allows gas to go through. Lets gases diffuse at the desired rate and balances pressure differences. Carries the catalyst of the electrode. Chemical resistance required.
Membrane at Reference and Counter Electrode
Carries the catalyst of the electrode. Chemical resistance required.
