## The CO₂ sensor cell testing system from MCD Elektronik enables high-precision testing under realistic pressure conditions.

Up to 20 test specimens are tested in parallel with CO₂ at pressures of up to 2.5 bar in a pressure-tight stainless steel chamber. The system ensures reliable measurement results, high process reliability, and seamless integration into industrial production environments.

## Challenges and Concept

The CO₂ sensor cell testing system from MCD Elektronik was specifically developed for the high-precision validation of sensor cells used in industrial plants to determine the CO₂ concentration in gaseous media.

The test is conducted in a pressure-tight stainless steel chamber that is flooded with CO₂ and pressurized to up to 2.5 bar. By testing 20 test specimens simultaneously, large quantities can be processed efficiently without compromising measurement accuracy.

The system accurately simulates real-world operating conditions, thereby ensuring reliable and reproducible test results. Its robust design and the consistent pressure-tightness of all measurement lines ensure maximum process reliability in industrial environments.

## Scope of Testing and Functionality

The CO₂ test chamber is constructed as a pressure-tight system made of solid stainless steel and is designed for continuous industrial operation. With an operating pressure of up to 2.5 bar, it provides realistic test conditions for high-precision sensing cells. Up to 20 DUTs can be tested in parallel during a single test run, significantly increasing production efficiency.

All measurement cables leading into the chamber are hermetically sealed to reliably prevent leaks and measurement errors. The chamber is mounted on a sturdy ULC standard rack and designed for integration into existing manufacturing environments. This creates a robust, reproducible test platform for demanding applications.

## Test Methods Used and Results

The CO₂ sensor test system from MCD Elektronik is fully integrated into a modern software and control architecture. The test sequences are controlled by the TestManager CE test software, while the MIO1616 central control unit ensures precise process control.

The custom-configured MCD Toolmonitor with visualization allows for intuitive control and monitoring of all test parameters. In addition, the connection to the iTAC MES system enables seamless integration into existing production and traceability structures.

A barcode scanner helps ensure that test specimens are uniquely identified, while user-guided pass/fail sorting enhances process reliability in day-to-day production.
