Description

El EC150 de Campbell Scientific es un analizador open-path especialmente diseñado para medida de flujos eddy-covariance (covarianza torbellinos). Como analizador autónomo, mide simultáneamente densidades absolutas de dióxido de carbono y vapor de agua, temperatura del aire y presión barométrica. Junto con el cabezal anemómetro sónico CSAT3A (opcional), el EC150 mide también el viento en tres dimensiones y la temperatura del aire (sónica).

Ventajas y características

• New conformal coating helps protect sonic transducers in corrosive environments
• Unique optical configuration gives a slim aerodynamic shape with minimal wind distortion
• Analyzer and sonic anemometer measurements are synchronized by a common set of electronics
• Maximum output rate of 60 Hz with 20 Hz bandwidth
• Low power consumption; suitable for solar power applications
• Low noise
• Measurements are temperature compensated without active heat control
• Angled windows to shed water and are tolerant to window contamination
• Field rugged
• Field serviceable
• Factory calibrated over wide range of CO₂, H₂O, pressure, and temperature in all combinations encountered in practice
• Extensive set of diagnostic parameters
• Fully compatible with Campbell Scientific dataloggers; field setup, configuration, and field zero and span can be accomplished directly from the datalogger
• Speed of sound determined from three acoustic paths; corrected for crosswind effects
• Innovative signal processing and transducer wicks considerably improve performance of the anemometer during precipitation events
