Electrolyte counter
The electrolyte consumption is calculated on the basis of the amount of charge that penetrates
the sensor diaphragm.
The following applies for the sensor CCS142D:
Half the chloride would be consumed and the entire dihydrogen phosphate would be converted
to monohydrogen phosphate in an electrolyte filling (4 ml) at 20 000 000 μAs (=20 As). This
would render the electrolyte and the sensor unusable.
With a view to predictive maintenance, you should replace the electrolyte at 10 000 000 μAs,
and preferably at 5 000 000 μAs. 25%-50% of the dihydrogen phosphate is then consumed.
The calculation presumes that the buffer of the electrolyte is only changed by the
electrochemical conversion of hypochlorous acid. It does not take into account the penetration
of acids or bases into the sensor.
Depending on the application it can be necessary to change the electrolyte before a charge of
5 As is reached.
