- the control unit 96 also outputs control signals to the variable power sources 24, 52, 46 to control the voltages Vp0, Vp1, Vp2 output by the variable power sources 24, 52, 46, thereby controlling the main pump cell 21, the first measurement pump cell 50, and the second measurement pump cell 41.
- the control unit 96 outputs control signals to the heater power source 76 to control the power supplied by the heater power source 76 to the heater 72.
- the memory unit 98 also stores target values V0*, V1*, V2*, etc., which will be described later.
- the CPU 97 of the control unit 96 controls the cells 21, 50, 41 by referring to these target values V0*, V1*, V2*.
- the control unit 96 performs a main pump control process (an example of a first pump cell control process) that controls the main pump cell 21 to pump oxygen from the periphery of the inner pump electrode 22 to the periphery of the outer pump electrode 23. Specifically, the control unit 96 controls the main pump cell 21 by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp0 of the variable power supply 24 so that the voltage V0 becomes the target value V0*.
- the target value V0* is set as a value that makes the oxygen concentration in the first internal space 20 a predetermined low concentration that is low enough to reduce substantially all of the water and carbon dioxide in the measured gas.
- the water in the measured gas is reduced to generate hydrogen and oxygen
- the carbon dioxide in the measured gas is reduced to generate carbon monoxide and oxygen.

- the control unit 96 performs a first measurement pump control process (an example of a second pump cell control process) that controls the first measurement pump cell 50 to pump oxygen from around the outer pump electrode 23 to around the first measurement electrode 51. Specifically, the control unit 96 controls the first measurement pump cell 50 by feedback controlling the voltage Vp1 of the variable power supply 52 so that the voltage V1 becomes the target value V1*.
- the target value V1* is set as a value that causes the oxygen concentration in the second internal space 40 to become a predetermined concentration that substantially all of the hydrogen in the second internal space 40 is oxidized.
- the pump current Ip1 flowing through the first measuring pump cell 50 is correlated with the amount of oxygen pumped into the second internal space 40 to oxidize the hydrogen in the second internal space 40, and is also correlated with the amount of water in the measured gas in the first internal space 20 that was the source of the hydrogen in the second internal space 40. Therefore, the pump current Ip1 is correlated with the water concentration in the measured gas, and the water concentration in the measured gas can be measured based on the pump current Ip1.
- the process of measuring the water concentration in the measured gas based on the pump current Ip1 is referred to as the water concentration measurement process.
- the control unit 96 performs a second measurement pump control process (an example of a third pump cell control process) that controls the second measurement pump cell 41 to pump oxygen from around the outer pump electrode 23 to around the second measurement electrode 44. Specifically, the control unit 96 controls the second measurement pump cell 41 by feedback controlling the voltage Vp2 of the variable power supply 46 so that the voltage V2 becomes the target value V2*.
- the target value V2* is set as a value that causes the oxygen concentration in the third internal space 61 to become a predetermined concentration that substantially all of the carbon monoxide in the third internal space 61 is oxidized.
- both hydrogen and carbon monoxide generated in the first internal space 20 reach the second internal space 40.
- hydrogen has a faster gas diffusion rate than carbon monoxide, and hydrogen is more likely to combine with oxygen. Therefore, in the second internal space 40, hydrogen can be selectively oxidized between hydrogen and carbon monoxide by the first measurement pump control process. Since almost no hydrogen reaches the third internal space 61 downstream of the second internal space 40, carbon monoxide can be oxidized by the second measurement pump control process.
- the first measurement electrode 51 contains the second precious metal, which weakens its ability to oxidize carbon monoxide. Therefore, in the vicinity of the first measurement electrode 51, i.e., in the second internal space 40, hydrogen can be more selectively oxidized between hydrogen and carbon monoxide by the first measurement pump control process.
- the control unit 96 performs a heater control process that outputs a control signal to the heater power supply 76 to control the temperature of the heater 72 to a target temperature (e.g., 800°C).
- a target temperature e.g. 800°C
- the target temperature of the heater 72 is determined as a temperature at which the above-mentioned solid electrolyte is activated plus a margin.
- the temperature of the heater 72 can be expressed by an equation that is a linear function of the resistance value of the heater 72.
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing an example of a processing routine executed by the CPU 97 of the control unit 96.
- This routine is stored in, for example, the memory unit 98 of the control unit 96, and is repeatedly executed by the CPU 97.
- the CPU 97 controls the temperature of the heater 72 to a target temperature (for example, 800°C) through a heater control process.
- a target temperature for example, 800°C
- the period from the start to the end of the heater control process is considered to be one use of the gas sensor 100.
- the predetermined time T1 is, for example, a few seconds to a few minutes.
- the CPU 97 executes the first, second, and third refresh processes.
- the first refresh process is a process for controlling the main pump cell 21 so as to pump oxygen from around the outer pump electrode 23 to around the inner pump electrode 22.
- the second refresh process is a process for controlling the first measurement pump cell 50 so as to pump more oxygen from around the outer pump electrode 23 to around the first measurement electrode 51 compared to the first measurement pump control process.
- the third refresh process is a process for controlling the second measurement pump cell 41 so as to pump more oxygen from around the outer pump electrode 23 to around the second measurement electrode 44 compared to the second measurement pump control process.
- the CPU 97 controls the main pump cell 21 by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp0 of the variable power supply 24 so that the voltage V0 becomes a target value V0r* that is smaller in absolute value than the target value V0*.
- the target value V0r* is set as a value that makes the oxygen concentration in the first internal space 20 higher than when the main pump control process is executed.
- the control unit 96 controls the first measurement pump cell 50 by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp1 of the variable power supply 52 so that the voltage V1 becomes a target value V1r* that is smaller in absolute value than the target value V1*.

This makes it possible to recover the reducing and oxidizing capabilities of the inner pump electrode 22, the first measurement electrode 51, and the second measurement electrode 44. As a result, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the measurement accuracy of the water concentration and carbon dioxide concentration in the measured gas.
- the CPU 97 executes the processing routine of FIG. 3, but instead, it may execute the processing routine of FIG. 5.

- the predetermined time T2 is set to a time equal to or less than the predetermined time T1, and may be, for example, several milliseconds to several seconds. This allows the refresh process to be performed periodically (at intervals of the predetermined time ⁇ T). As a result, the frequency of the refresh process can be ensured, and a decrease in the measurement accuracy of the water concentration and carbon dioxide concentration in the measured gas can be suppressed.
- the CPU 97 executes a refresh process for a predetermined time T1 when the solid electrolyte of the sensor element 101 is activated (step S120), and thereafter executes a refresh process for a predetermined time T2 (step S140) each time normal processing is continuously executed for a predetermined time ⁇ T. However, the CPU 97 does not have to execute the refresh process for the predetermined time T1.

- the CPU 97 may determine whether the solid electrolyte is activated by determining whether the execution time of the heater control process is equal to or more than a predetermined time.
- the CPU 97 controls the main pump cell 21 as the first refresh process by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp0 of the variable power supply 24 so that the voltage V0 becomes a target value V0r* that is smaller in absolute value than the target value V0*, but this is not limited to the above.
- the CPU 97 may control the main pump cell 21 as the first refresh process by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp0 of the variable power supply 24 so that the pump current Ip0 becomes the target value Ip0r*.
- the target value Ip0r* is a value in the direction in which oxygen is pumped into the first internal space 20, and is set to a value with an opposite sign to that when the main pump control process is being executed.
- the CPU 97 controls the first measurement pump cell 50 as the second refresh process by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp1 of the variable power supply 52 so that the voltage V1 becomes the target value V1r* which is smaller in absolute value than the target value V1*, but this is not limited to the above.
- the CPU 97 may control the first measurement pump cell 50 as the second refresh process by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp1 of the variable power supply 52 so that the pump current Ip1 becomes the target value Ip1r*.

- the CPU 97 controls the second measurement pump cell 41 as the third refresh process by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp2 of the variable power supply 46 so that the voltage V2 becomes the target value V2r*, which has an absolute value smaller than the target value V2*; however, this is not limited to this.
- the CPU 97 may control the second measurement pump cell 41 as the third refresh process by feedback-controlling the voltage Vp2 of the variable power supply 46 so that the pump current Ip2 becomes the target value Ip2r*.
- the target value Ip2r* is set to a value with an absolute value larger than the pump current Ip2 that normally flows when the second measurement pump control process is being executed.
- the CPU 97 executes the first, second, and third refresh processes as the refresh process.
- only parts of the first, second, and third refresh processes may be executed as the refresh process.
- the inventors have found through experiments and analysis that when the gas sensor 100 is in use or not in use, gas is likely to be adsorbed onto the inner pump electrode 22, the first measurement electrode 51, and the second measurement electrode 44, particularly the inner pump electrode 22, which may cause a decrease in the reduction ability. For this reason, when only parts of the first, second, and third refresh processes are executed as the refresh process, it is preferable to execute at least the first refresh process.
