The design and the electric circuit of a thermoconductometric sensor for helium content measurements in a helium-oygen (heliumair) mixture are presented. Zener diodes as active elements are placed in two sensor chambers: the measuring and the reference ones. The Zener diodes are included in adjacent branches of the unbalanced Wheatstone bridge. An electronic thermostat stabilizing the sensor block temperature and test results are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
