Experiment

Name: Caltech Atmospheric Chamber_20170503_No Reactant_None_No Seed_170503_05_tol_ap_td
Date: 2017-05-03

Organization
Caltech Atmospheric Chamber

Chamber
Near Bag 2014

Experiment Set
Vapor-wall Loss

Goals
Investigate vapor-wall loss rates of toluene, a-pinene, and tridacane at RH = 5%

Summary
Obtained temporal profiles of three compounds with GC-FID

Additional Notes
The experiments are designed to study the behavior of vapor in the Teflon-walled chamber in the long term, so the timeline just lists the measurement starting time. For some experiments, the VOC injection is still happening while the measurement is going on.
