Storage of electrochemical gas sensors

electrochemical gas sensor tips

First，ensor must not be stored for more than 6 months and must be stored in a sealed container at 0-20°C in clean air. Sensors should not be stored in environments with liquid vapours, and all sensors should not be applied in environments containing organic vapours, as this will destroy the performance of all sensors. So, the sensor should not be stored and used in environments with concentrated liquids, as in such environments the liquids can clog the air holes, limiting the flow of gas to the sensor and weakening the signal. If the sensor is affected by concentrated gas, dry the sensor with a piece of soft absorbent paper and then re-operate. However, under no circumstances should the sensor be dried at temperatures above 40°C. In general, the sensor can be stored in an office environment with a temperature not exceeding 30°C and a humidity range of 50% to 90%. Dedicated storage sensors can be kept in a freshness box, and a refrigerator is also an acceptable option, but a drying cabinet is not recommended. It is advisable to seal the sensors when placing them in either the freshness box or the refrigerator, effectively preventing moisture in the environment from entering the container due to frequent opening and closing, which could lead to condensation and blockage of the sensors' air holes.
