Patent number: 9829475Abstract: A sensor including first and second electrodes can be used to determine the concentration of at least one chemical constituent in a fluid sample under test. The electrodes can be disposed in the fluid sample and a predetermined voltage can be applied to a first electrode. The voltage can cause a current to flow between the first and second electrodes through the sample, the current dependent on the concentration of the chemical constituent in the fluid sample. A sense resistor is coupled to the first electrode such that the current flowing between the electrodes flows through the sense resistor. A processor electrically isolated from the electrodes can receive data signals indicative of the voltage drop across the sense resistor and the voltage applied at the first electrode. The received signals can be used to determine the concentration of the constituent in the fluid sample.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2014Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Ecolab USA Inc.Inventors: Ronald Bruce Howes, Jr., Patrick Henry Kilawee, Leonard John Kadlec
