The Air Xplorer is a novel extractive instrument for concentration monitoring of a wide range of VOCs, criteria pollutants and GHGs. Air Xplorer combines IR and UV technology and is based on the in-house MeFTIR and MeDOAS systems. The Xplorer version is compact, light and user-friendly without compromising the spectral…
The instrument is equipped with highly sensitive spectrometers connected to a multi-pass optical reflection cell, mounted in a temperature-controlled enclosure. The system also includes a heated extraction tube, in-line air pumps and a particle inlet filter (cyclone). FluxSense provides customized solutions and complete infrastructure for stand-alone remote surveillance.
The instrument can be deployed in the trunk of a mid-size car for mobile measurements or mounted in a small trailer as a monitoring station with 24/7 air quality surveillance. Geo-tagged measurement results are displayed in real-time to allow for efficient source screening and monitoring. Emission rates (kg/h) can be retrieved by combining the concentration measurements with a known tracer gas release (i.e. Tracer Correlation) or by parallel SOF measurements (iSOF).
