![Deep Water Gas Analyzer Deep Water Gas Analyzer]()
The Deep Water Gas Analyzer combines membrane separation technology with Los Gatos Research’s cavity enhanced laser absorption spectroscopy technology to provide in situ measurements of methane and carbon dioxide at depths to 2500 meters. Designed for applications such as ocean acidification, carbon sequestration, methane hydrate and hydrothermal vent studies, these novel analyzers provide real-time measurements of dissolved gases in oceans and lakes. Performance Specifications Gases Measured (one configuration per instrument): Configuration 1: Methane concentration Configuration 2: Carbon dioxide concentration Configuration 3: δ13C in methane (δ13CH4) Precision (1σ): Configuration 1: [CH4]: 1 ppbv Configuration 2: [CO2]: 1 ppmv Configuration 3: δ13CH4: 1‰ [CH4]: 1 ppmv Measurement Range (meets all specs): Configuration 1: [CH4]: 1– 500 ppmv Configuration 2: [CO2]: 300 – 25000 ppmv Configuration 3: [CH4]: 400 – 20000 ppmv Operational Range (external calibration may be required): Configuration 1: [CH4]: 0.5 – 1000 ppmv Configuration 2: [CO2]: 150 – 50000 ppmv Configuration 3: [CH4]: 200 – 40000 ppmv Measurement Rate: 5 minutes Maximum Depth: 2500 meters Sampling conditions: Sample Temperature: 0 – 50 °C Operating Temperature: 5 – 45 °C Outputs: Digital (RS232), Ethernet Power Requirements: 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz 80 watts Dimensions: 20 cm diameter 122 cm length Weight: 100 pounds (45 kg) |
