Abstract
An arrangement for in situ measurement of at least one oxygen partial pressure within a solids heap, including: at least one measuring transducer arranged within the solids heap for locally registering oxygen partial pressure, wherein each measuring transducer is embodied to output a measurement signal representing oxygen partial pressure to a superordinated unit, which is arranged outside the solids heap and is embodied to receive and to process the measurement signals of each measuring transducer.
Claims11
An arrangement for in situ measurement of at least one oxygen partial pressure within a solids heap, comprising:
- a superordinated unit;
- and
- at least two measuring transducers arranged within the solids heap for locally registering an oxygen partial pressure, wherein:
- each measuring transducer is embodied to output a measurement signal representing an oxygen partial pressure to said superordinated unit, which is arranged outside the solids heap and is embodied to receive and to process the measurement signals of each measuring transducer;
- the at least two measuring transducers are arranged within the solids heap at measuring locations remote from one another, separated both vertically and horizontally;
- and
- said at least two measuring transducers comprise optical oxygen sensors structured to operate by fluorescence quenching to register the oxygen partial pressure.
