Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif correspondant pour la détection d'au moins un paramètre d'un gaz dans un tube d'écoulement (112), en particulier pour la détection d'au moins un constituant gazeux dans un gaz d'échappement dans une ligne d'échappement. Le procédé implique l'utilisation d'au moins deux capteurs de gaz (122, 124, 126), disposés en des emplacements différents dans le tube d'écoulement (112). Les capteurs de gaz (122, 124, 126) présentent chacun au moins une cellule de Nernst, au moins une tension de Nernst étant détectée aux cellules de Nernst. Les capteurs de gaz (122, 124, 126) sont réglés chacun à au moins une température de consigne. Le procédé est mis en oeuvre de façon qu'au moins ledit paramètre soit détecté à au moins deux températures de consigne différentes.
