Abstract: An electrochemical sensor (100) is capable of detecting a gas component in a gas (G). A process uses such a sensor (100). The gas (G) flows through an inlet (Ö) on the measuring cell side in a housing (10) to a measuring cell (2, 4, 12, 15). A chemical reaction takes place at the measuring cell (2, 4, 12, 15), which depends on the concentration of the gas component and influences a measurable electrical quantity. An electrical measuring unit (15) measures this electrical quantity. Gas can also pass through a pressure equalizing outlet (16) into the housing (10). An oxidation component (6) between the pressure equalizing outlet (16) and the measuring cell (2, 4, 12, 15) oxidizes an oxidizable gas component in this gas.

Abstract: An electrochemical gas sensor measures gaseous components in an air/gas mixture. A measuring electrode and a counterelectrode, with an electrolyte located therebetween, are arranged in the sensor housing. A diffusion barrier is configured to set a gas flow of the gas intended for the concentration determination to the measuring electrode from a surrounding area. The diffusion barrier is located in the sensor housing. At least one gas-permeable, hydrophobic pressure absorption element covers the diffusion barrier and is provided between the diffusion barrier and the measuring electrode, in the interior of the sensor housing and on an inner surface of the sensor housing. The inner surface has a mean roughness depth Rz that is lower than or equal to 2 ?m at least in an area on which the pressure absorption element lies.

Abstract: A ventilation system includes an electrochemical filter for depleting alkyl phenols, especially 2,6-diisopropyl phenol, in breathing gas. A method uses the filter for removing alkyl phenols, especially 2,6-diisopropyl phenol, from breathing gas.
