HydroC - Carbon Dioxide Sensor Brochure

Market leader in dissolved gas MeasureMents. Made in gerMany.HydroC™ Co2 Carbon dioxide sensorthe Contros HydroC™ Co2 sensor is a unique underwater carbon dioxide sensor for in-situ and online measurements of dissolved Co2. the versatile HydroC™ Co2 is suitable for platform installations (e.g. rovs or auvs), long-term deployments (e.g. buoys and moorings) as well as for profiling applications (e.g. water sampling rosettes). Fields of application include: ocean acidification research, climate studies, air-sea gas exchange, limnology, fresh water control, aqua- culture/fish farming, carbon capture and storage – monitoring, measurement and verification (CCs-MMv).advantages• High accuracy • Very robust, can be used in water depths up to 6,000 meters • Very fast response time• User-friendly • Versatile – easy integration into almost every oceanographic measurement system and platform• Long-term deployment capability• ‘ Plug & Play’ principle; all required cables, connectors and software are includedHow it worksdissolved Co2 molecules diffuse through a specialized thin film composite membrane into the internal gas circuit leading to a detector chamber, where the partial pressure of Co2 is deter-mined by means of ir absorption spectrometry. Concentration dependent ir light intensities are converted into the output sig-nal from calibration coefficients stored in firmware and data from additional sensors within the gas circuit.CO2HydroC™ Co2 Market leader in dissolved gas MeasureMents.
