One can measure the proportion of oxygen present while analyzing a liquid or a gas using specially designed sensors. Oxygen sensor recycling has been done by many since the gadget was first designed in the late 1960s under the supervision of Gunter Bauman who was a doctor by profession. This has mainly happened because the device is likely to malfunction or under-perform due to some fixable reasons that do not necessarily mean that one has to buy a new one.
The gadgets are usually installed exhaust systems of vehicles. Here they are normally exposed to fuel and toxic wastes from gases like hydrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. These toxins are bound to pollute the device which will inhibit the capacity of the gadget to perform efficiently. Contamination caused by oil and fuel may also lead to damage. If soot builds up in the ceramic parts of this gadget, the response time greatly increases and its detection ability reduces.
Gasoline of poor quality may have lead and this will make the lifespan of this item even shorter. Exposing it to silicates and silicon will also affect its functioning and has a negative impact on performance. The main function of this gadget is to find out the perfect ration of fuel and air mixture in the exhaust of the vehicle. Contamination affects even the combustion engine and this result to a decrease in the mileage of the car.
The sensor must be maintained in the required shape and state so that gas usage does not increase. If it gets damaged beyond repair, one will have no choice but to purchase a new one. This is however an expensive affair and that is why recycling is usually recommended. For instance when the performance has reduced, one can try to clean the device and re-install it.
One could clean it so as to get rid of anything that was affecting its performance. However, this is not a guarantee that the gadget will be reinstated to its original form. A vehicle owner can take his chances on this and it could as well pay off whereby the item performs as it used to initially. The method is very effective in cutting costs.
Propane which is used in blow torches can be used to cleanse the item. The gadget always comes into contact with contaminants and a carbon coating may be formed which is very hard to dissolve using solvents. It requires the coat be removed in other ways.
The blow torch is therefore used to heat the tip of the device and this is done till it has turned red. Once it is red, it is immediately dipped in water and then compressed air is blown into the tip so as to clean it. Any deposits that had been formed break up and one can do this again.
The CRC brand QD electronic cleaner can also be used to eliminate fuel and oil contaminants. This cleanser is very effective because it gets rid of the entire residue once it is dry. However, you must ensure that you keep a safe distance between the nozzle of the cleaner and the oxygen sensor when spraying. This will help the device to serve you for longer and you do not always have to buy a new one.
