Re: Scrubber Sensor

the o2 sensor response and accuracy is insufficient to do this with our current sensors. and the detector filters in the Ir sensors are not made for the pressure. i tried the reactive sensors but it was unstable under pressure, i suspect due to the membrane. the current best we seem to have is the temp stick design. i have been thinking about trying a modified detector bench for the ir type. where by you could take a standard detector and encapsulate it inside of a tube at the end with holes drilled crosswise for air flow. the filter would have to be suspended in the epoxy with some type of light shield around the edge. and all of this would have to be cleared for a high o2 environment.

it would be a fun project but have too many others going on right now.
