Zirconia Ceramic Heating Element-New generation of Oxygen Sensor Chip!

Zirconia Ceramic Heating Element-New generation of Oxygen Sensor Chip

The concentration of oxygen sensor is measured to test the oxygen content in the gas emission released by the engine, send corresponding voltage signals and provide real-time monitoring for the Electronic Control Unit(ECU), optimize the system control strategy, reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

The core component inside an oxygen sensor is the zirconia ceramic heating element, which will heat the O2 concentration on each side, turn the O2 to the voltage signals and send to the ECU.

Innovacera provides three types of oxygen sensor chip that can help to improve the performance of the oxygen sensor:
1. SWITCH TYPE OXYGEN SENSOR
2. WIDE BAND OXYGEN SENSOR
3. AIR-FUEL RATIO SENSOR

Till now, those zirconia ceramic heating element has been used on the automotive such as TOYOTA, LEXUS, AUDI, Santana, Magotan, etc.

Ceramic Reflectors

Ceramic Reflector

Our ceramic reflectors work particularly well in Ruby and Nd:YAG laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost effective alternative to metal coated reflectors. They are also extensively used as reflectors in housings for high intensity lamps.

Ceramic reflectors can be glazed both inside the cavity and the out surface using a highly reflective glaze that seals the ceramic against ingress of cooling fluids that may alter the refractive index, introduce impurities and reduce reflectance and efficiencies. Glaze can also act as filters and our yellow glazed reflectors have been used successfully in certain applications. The visible yellow colour is complementary to the spectral colours violet and indigo and effectively absorbs these wavelengths up to around 450 nm.

Ceramic Ferrule Used For Optical Fiber Communication Systems

Zirconium Oxide Ceramic Ferrule Zirconium Oxide Ceramic Ferrule

Optical fiber communication is a communication method that uses light waves as the carrier and optical fiber, ie, optical fiber, as the transmission medium. Since its appearance, it has brought about major changes in the fields of technology and society. It can be said that without it, there would be no modern communication network. Therefore, as one of the core technologies of the information age, the demand for optical fiber communication is increasing day by day. In the optical fiber communication system, a kind of precision device made of special ceramics plays a very important role, that is, the ceramic ferrule. It is the most commonly used and most precise positioning component in optical fiber communication networks and is often used in the manufacture of optical fiber connectors and optical coupling of devices.

Fiber connectors are indispensable passive components in optical fiber communication systems. They are mainly used to precisely connect the non-permanent two end faces of the equipment room, equipment and instrument room, equipment and optical fiber, and optical fiber and optical fiber in the system. The light energy output by the transmitting fiber is coupled to the receiving fiber to the maximum. Most fiber optic connectors consist of three parts: two mating plugs (ferrules) and a coupling sleeve. The two ferrules are installed into the two fiber ends; the coupling sleeve acts as an alignment, and the sleeves are mostly equipped with metal or non-metal flanges to facilitate the installation and fixation of the connector.

Therefore, the main function of the ceramic ferrule is to fix the optical fiber and realize the physical connection of the two end faces of the optical fiber, so that the optical signal can be continued to form an optical path. The materials that can be used to prepare ferrules are ceramic, metal, or plastic. Among them, ceramic ferrules are widely used. The main material is zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), which has good thermal stability, high hardness, high melting point, wear resistance, and high processing accuracy, and other features.
