Siemens Oxygen Sensor QGO20 Series

The Siemens QGO20 Series oxygen sensor monitors residual oxygen (O₂) levels in combustion flue gases through zirconium dioxide sensing technology. Developed for boilers and industrial heat generation equipment operating on natural gas or light fuel oil, it supports combustion optimization when paired with Siemens LMV52 and PLL52 control systems. With an O₂ measurement range of 0.2–20.9%, the sensor helps improve combustion efficiency and reduce unnecessary excess oxygen in exhaust gases.

Product Description

Siemens QGO20 Oxygen Sensors for Flue Gas Monitoring

Siemens QGO20 Series oxygen sensors provide residual oxygen (O2) measurement in exhaust gases produced by industrial combustion processes. They are intended for boiler installations and heat generation plants operating with natural gas or light fuel oil.

Equipped with a zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) sensing cell, the QGO20 detects oxygen concentration in flue gases and delivers measurement signals to the connected combustion control equipment, supporting accurate oxygen monitoring.

Combined with Siemens LMV52 and PLL52 control systems, the sensor enables O2 trim functionality. This helps regulate the combustion air-to-fuel ratio, improve energy efficiency, and reduce unnecessary excess oxygen in the exhaust stream.
