Instrument - O3NOxTRH
Short name:
O3NOxTRH
Full name:
O3NOxTRH
What is being measured:
combination ozone, NOx, temperature, RH
Sampling Protocol:
Online
Manufacturer:
Horiba for O3, Teledyne for NOx, Vaisala for T/RH
Model:
Horiba APOA, TeledyneT200, Vaisala HMM211
Instrument year
:
None specified
Data recording software:
Labview
Data analysis software:
None
Raw data time resolution:
0.5 min
Analysis data averaging:
None
Detection limit:
0.5ppb for O3/NOx, 0.1degC, 3% RH
Sensitivity to temperature (and correction method, if applicable):
:
0.02 RH% per degC
Sensitivity to relative humidity (and correction method, if applicable):
:
NOx instrument is very sensitive to RH. After RH is introduced you will see NOx off gassing off the Mo catalyst. There is no correction, just have to let the instrument equilibrate at the desired RH
Sampling method:
Direct sampling
Sample preparation method:
None
Sample residence time (chamber to instrument) (seconds):
Length of tubing (cm):
Instrument flow rate:
1 lpm for O3/NOx
Tubing inner diameter:
Tubing material:
FEP Teflon
Chemical identification method:
Photometric for O3, chemiluminescence for NOx
Data analysis method:
None
