Abstract
In one embodiment, a gas-sensing probe for use in a combustor includes an elongated support member, a housing, a gas sensor and sensor wires. The housing is attached to an end of the support member, and the gas sensor is rigidly supported within the housing. In another embodiment, a gas-sensing probe for use in a combustor includes an elongated support member, a housing, and a gas sensor. The housing is removably attached to an end of the support member, and the gas sensor is disposed within the housing so that the gas sensor and housing are removable from the distal end of the support member as a unit. In another embodiment, a gas-sensing probe comprises an elongated support member, a gas sensor, and a calibration tube. The elongated support member has a proximal end and a distal end, and supports the gas sensor at the distal end thereof. The calibration tube extends along a length of the support member, and has a first opening near the proximal end of the support member and a second opening, in fluid communication with the first opening, near the distal end of the support member and the gas sensor.
