ASR®

Automatic Sensor Cleaning, or ASR®, is Kuntze's patented sensor cleaning technology. The goal of the ASR® cleaning is to reduce the amount of maintenance associated with manually cleaning the probe.

The cleaning is carried out electrochemically by the electrolysis of water: H2O >> O2 and H2

The electrochemical cleaning is multi-layered:

  • Water splits into hydrogen and oxygen gas, blasting away persistent coatings.
  • Oxygen oxidizes organic compounds.
  • Hydrogen reduces rust and manganese oxide and likewise destroys organic
    coatings.

The produced gas volumes are small and quickly recombine automatically to H2O.

The ASR® has proven to be efficient against organic and inorganic coatings.
