常见问题解答

EC155: 8

展开全部收起全部

  1. Why does the EC155 require a barometer?

    The EC155 requires a barometer for several reasons. First, the EC155 calculates CO2 as a concentration, and these values must be multiplied by the air density to get the CO2 flux. Second, the closed-path analyzer measures the number of CO2 molecules in the path and converts them to a concentration. This conversion requires a measure of sample cell pressure, which in older EC155 models (serial numbers less than 2000) is the sum of the barometer and differential sensor. In newer EC155 models (serial numbers 2000 or greater), this conversion still requires a measure of sample cell pressure, but it is done with an absolute pressure sensor in the sample cell. Finally, the EC155 has been calibrated at the factory over a range of barometric pressures. 

  2. How does the EC155 perform during precipitation?

    Precipitation can block the infrared beam of an open-path IRGA—primarily through accumulation on the windows and by falling through the measurement path. The EC155 is a closed-path IRGA that is protected from rainfall by taking its measurements within a sample cell assembly. Older EC155 models (serial numbers less than 2000) have a heated intake assembly with a rain diverter to prevent precipitation from entering the sample cell. Newer EC155 models (serial numbers 2000 and greater) have a heated inlet and vortex intake (U.S. Pat. No. 9,217,692), which significantly improve performance during precipitation events and in conditions of high particulate concentrations, such as dust storms. However, measurements from sonic anemometers can also be affected by rainfall, especially if droplets accumulate on transducer faces. Therefore, it is important to continue monitoring data during rainfall events to ensure quality measurements are included in final calculations of flux.

  3. Why did Campbell Scientific start using molecular sieve? Does it have the same effect as the previously used chemicals?

    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. 
  4. Where is there more information about open-path and closed-path gas analyzers?
  5. To prepare the molecular sieve, how many grams are needed per bottle?

    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).
  6. Which countries can the molecular sieve be shipped to?

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

  7. Why was the EC155 design revised?

    Newer EC155 models (serial numbers 2000 and greater) take advantage of the new vortex intake technology (U.S. Pat. No. 9,217,692), which significantly reduces the frequency of maintenance required, especially in dustier, more polluted conditions. The new models also have an absolute pressure sensor instead of a differential one, which improves the pressure measurements. Finally, the new design uses a stainless-steel sample cell, which provides added protection against corrosion. 

  8. Can molecular sieve be used in the future to replace bottles for gas analyzers sold before July 2017?

    The molecular sieve is a direct replacement for the old magnesium perchlorate bottles. The molecular sieve may be used for any Campbell Scientific analyzer that used the old bottles.
