Analizador de gas y anemómetro sónico 3D en un solo sensor
Resumen
Campbell Scientific’s IRGASON® fully integrates the open-path analyzer and sonic anemometer. Designed specifically for eddy-covariance carbon and water flux measurements, the patented design is easier to install and use than separate sensors and provides increased measurement accuracy. The IRGASON simultaneously measures absolute carbon dioxide and water vapor, air temperature, barometric pressure, three-dimensional wind speed, and sonic air temperature. U.S. patent D680455
For more information about the benefits of having a colocated measurement, refer to the poster "Improved eddy flux measurements by open-path gas analyzer and sonic anemometer co-location."

-
The molecular sieve is a non-hazardous material that can be shipped to any country.
-
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.
-
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:
- It was a safer alternative than using the previous chemicals.
- Increased shipping regulations for the chemicals limited the number of suppliers.
-
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).
-
Yes. A fine-wire thermocouple, such as a FW05, can be used.
-
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.
-
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).
-
For greatest accuracy, Campbell Scientific recommends that a zero and a span be done on the EC150 or IRGASON®. However, if a span gas is difficult to obtain, at the minimum, perform a zero on the analyzer. Performing a zero will correct the majority of drift experienced by the analyzer. Follow the zero procedure in the analyzer’s manual for details.
-
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.
-
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.
