KFDO310 integrated on-line fluorescence dissolved oxygen sensor is
designed and made based on the quenching principle of excited
fluorescence of specific substances in physics. The blue light from
the light-emitting diode illuminates the fluorescent material on
the inner surface of the fluorescent cap. The fluorescent material
on the inner surface is excited and emits red light. By detecting
the phase difference between the red light and the blue light, and
comparing it with the internal calibration value, the concentration
of oxygen molecule can be calculated, and the final value can be
output by temperature automatic compensation.
No electrolytes, no polarization
No need to consume oxygen, not affected by the flow rate
Built-in temperature sensor, automatic temperature compensation
Free from chemicals like sulfides
Small drift, fast response, more accurate measurement
Maintenance-free, long service life, lower use cost
Fluorescent caps are easy to replace

The temperature sensing part should be immersed below the liquid
surface to avoid collision with the film head surface. The head
part of the membrane should be free from sediment.
Tips:Dissolved Oxygen from Photosynthesis
Dissolved oxygen can enter the water as a byproduct of
photosynthesis.
While most photosynthesis takes place at the surface (by shallow
water plants and algae), a large portion of the process takes place
underwater (by seaweed, sub-surface algae and phytoplankton). Light
can penetrate water, though the depth that it can reach varies due
to dissolved solids and other light-scattering elements present in
the water. Depth also affects the wavelengths available to plants,
with red being absorbed quickly and blue light being visible past
100 m. In clear water, there is no longer enough light for
photosynthesis to occur beyond 200 m, and aquatic plants no longer
grow.In turbid water, this photic (light-penetrating) zone is often
much shallower.
Regardless of wavelengths available, the cycle doesn’t change. In
addition to the needed light, CO2 is readily absorbed by water
(it’s about 200 times more soluble than oxygen) and the oxygen
produced as a byproduct remains dissolved in water¹⁰. The basic
reaction of aquatic photosynthesis remains:
CO2 + H2O → (CH2O) + O2
As aquatic photosynthesis is light-dependent, the dissolved oxygen
produced will peak during daylight hours and decline at night.
