常见问题解答

EC150: 21

展开全部收起全部

  1. The factory calibration accounts for CO2 and H2O signal strengths down to 0.7. Therefore, to ensure quality data, windows should be cleaned before signal strengths drop below 0.7. 

  2. The molecular sieve has been demonstrated here by our engineering department to be effective at removing CO2 and H2O from the air sample. The change was made for two reasons:

    1. It was a safer alternative than using the previous chemicals.
    2. Increased shipping regulations for the chemicals limited the number of suppliers. 
  3. The barometer and temperature sensor are needed because the IRGASON® and EC150 have been calibrated at the factory over a range of temperatures (-30° to +50°C) and barometric pressures (70 to 106 kPa). 

  4. The bottles of sieve for drop-in replacement contain the pellets and a membrane on top. The membrane is necessary to keep the pellets contained while allowing gas to pass over the zeolite. The bottle has the same footprint as the old magnesium perchlorate bottles. The amount in each bottle is listed on the bottle. The amount of sieve needed for each analyzer is the following:

    • The EC150 needs 22 g (drop-in bottle).
    • The IRGASON® needs 22 g (drop-in bottle).
    • The EC155 needs 22 g (drop-in bottle).
    • The AP200 needs 500 g (refill).
    • The 27423 needs 1000 g (refill).
    • The 31022 needs 500 g (refill).
  5. The minimum height for the IRGASON® or EC150 should be approximately 2 m. Sensor placement below that height may result in a significant loss in frequency response. The maximum height depends on the available upwind fetch or footprint area.  As a general guideline for unstable boundary layer conditions, the height of the sensor should be less than the distance from the sensor to the outermost edge of the footprint area divided by one hundred. For example, if there is 500 m of available upwind fetch, the IRGASON® or EC150 should not exceed a height of 5 m.  Note that for neutral and stable conditions, the footprint area will grow.

  6. The power requirement for the IRGASON® or EC150 with CSAT3A is 5 W at room temperature regardless of whether it is powering up or under steady-state operation.  At extreme cold or hot temperatures, the power requirement reaches 6 W.

  7. The molecular sieve is a non-hazardous material that can be shipped to any country.

  8. The EC150 and IRGASON® gas analyzer windows are polished, slanted at an angle, and coated with a hydrophobic material to prevent water from collecting on their surfaces. Wicks may also be used on the windows to promote capillary action and move water away from the window edges. Also, heaters in the snouts may be turned on to help minimize data loss because of precipitation and condensation events.

  9. Differences between the sonic calculated temperature and the air temperature measured by a more traditional sensor do not necessarily indicate a problem. Sonic anemometers, because of their high sensitivities to sonic geometry and transducer response time, do not typically measure absolute temperature as accurately as traditional temperature probes. Even very small changes in geometry can lead to errors in sonic temperature because sonic temperature is proportional to the square of any error in the distance between sonic transducers. As an example, a change of only 200 micrometers in sonic path length at room temperature yields a 1°C change in measured sonic temperature.

    Even though sonic anemometers are generally not recommended for measuring absolute temperature, they excel at measuring fast temperature fluctuations, which are needed for eddy-covariance calculations (sensible heat flux). Furthermore, the error in sonic temperature in most cases can be regarded as an offset after sonic temperature has been corrected for humidity, and therefore, it will not have an effect on the covariance calculation.  Nevertheless, if a user desires to calibrate the sonic temperature to account for this offset, this can be done using the temperature reading from a collocated temperature probe, such as the EC150 or IRGASON® temperature probe.  

  10. Yes. A fine-wire thermocouple, such as a FW05, can be used.
