Ecotech Aurora - Model 4000 - Polar Nephelometer
From Research & Scientific - Ecotech
Aerosol particles in the atmosphere directly influence the earth’s radiative balance by absorbing and scattering the solar radiation and indirectly, by changing the cloud’s microphysical properties. The phase function, defined as the amount of light scattered as a function of the scattering angle, is a key parameter to accurately model the influence of the aerosol scattering on the earth’s radiative balance. The Aurora 4000 provides integrated scattering measurements at a number of angles, assisting in the calculation of the phase function. The Aurora 4000 is the first commercially available polar nephelometer in the world.

Product Details
Aerosol particles in the atmosphere directly influence the earth’s radiative balance by absorbing and scattering the solar radiation and indirectly, by changing the cloud’s microphysical properties.
The phase function, defined as the amount of light scattered as a function of the scattering angle, is a key parameter to accurately model the influence of the aerosol scattering on the earth’s radiative balance. Polar nephelometers provide this measurement.
The Aurora™ 4000 is the first commercially available polar nephelometer in the world. The instrument provides measurements of integrated light scattering between 10°- 90° and 180°, with the user able to select up to 18 seperate angles between the 10° to 90° starting angle of integration.
It uses the same three wavelength technology as the Aurora™ 3000 but also automatically measures the amount of light scattered in different angular sectors by varying its backscatter shutter position. The Aurora™ 4000 simultaneously measures at 525 nm (green), 450 nm (blue) and 635 nm (red), using the now proven LED light source (Mueller, 2010), to enable wide and in-depth analysis of the interaction between light and aerosols.
Benefits
- High powered multi-wavelength LED light-source increases measurement accuracy
- Higher flow available via the external pump and MFC option
- Raw measurement counts available for customised data analysis
- An Automated Ball Valve inlet bypass option available for use with common inlet manifolds
- Simplified fully automatic and scheduled calibration (zero and/or span) using internal valves, ideal for remote locations
- Robust instrument for unattended operation
- 12 VDC operation (60 watts maximum, 15 watts nominal)
- Automatic optical reference calibration
- Fully integrated package including; internal sample pump, sample heater, internal calibration valves, zero air pump and data logger
- Internal sample heater with temperature or RH control, which can be enabled by the user to eliminate the effects of humidity (RH: < 30 to < 90 % )
- Our LED light source is guaranteed not to fail within 3 years and often exceeds 5 years
- Heat generated by the LED light source is a fraction of that generated by a flash lamp, minimising changes in sample RH
- LEDs emit light at a specific wavelength eliminating the need for band pass filters
- An LED light source uses the same light path for each wavelength ensuring consistency of measurement, eliminating the need for multiple PMTs and maximising light intensity
- Remote Control through serial interface
- Easily integrates into the ACOEM Aerosol Conditioning SystemACS1000.

Environmental monitoring solution for construction industry - Construction & Construction Materials
The construction industry plays a significant role in the world economy. More than ever, care has to be taken in monitoring the air quality at these construction sites due to activities such as land clearing, operation of diesel engines, soil disturbance, traffic on unsealed surfaces, demolition, burning and working with toxic materials. Monitoring around large infrastructure projects (e.g. traffic tunnels, ports, road projects etc.) often requires baseline air quality measurements during construction and ...

Environmental monitoring solution for industrial & manufacturing industry - Environmental
Some of the most important environmental issues facing industries are atmospheric releases, primarily of particulates, NOX, ammonia, hydrocarbons, fluorides and other criteria pollutants. Regulatory authorities often insist on ambient air quality and/or continuous emission monitoring (CEM) of these parameters. The monitoring and reporting of CO2 emissions will also become important as countries introduce carbon trading schemes and other measures to combat global warming.
