CONTROS HydroC™ CO2 FT

Product catalog summary
Overview: The CONTROS HydroC™ CO2 FT is a specialized sensor for measuring the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in surface water, designed for both underway (FerryBox) and laboratory applications. It is based on proven CONTROS HydroC™ technology and is widely used in climate change research.

Calibration: Each sensor undergoes individual calibration in a water tank that simulates average deployment temperatures. A reference detector verifies pCO2 concentrations, ensuring high accuracy.

Operating Principle: The sensor uses a TOUGH membrane to allow CO2 molecules to diffuse into an internal gas circuit, where IR absorption spectrometry determines CO2 partial pressure. Calibration coefficients and additional sensor data convert light intensities into output signals.

Software and Hardware: The CONTROS DETECT® software provides real-time data visualization and sensor parameter settings. Hardware requirements include Windows 7 or higher, 200 MB of disk space, and a dual-core CPU with 2GB RAM.

Options and Features: The sensor offers a measuring range of 100 – 6,000 μatm, a data logger, and easy integration into FerryBox systems. Key features include a robust membrane, high accuracy, fast response time, user-friendly operation, and a long maintenance interval.

Applications: The sensor is used in ocean acidification research, climate studies, air-sea gas exchange, limnology, freshwater control, aquaculture, and carbon capture and storage monitoring.

Technical Specifications: The sensor features a high-precision NDIR system, a measuring range of 200 – 1,000 μatm, and operates at temperatures from 1°C to 30°C. It has a resolution of less than 1 μatm and an initial accuracy of ± 0.5% of reading. The data format is ASCII and NMEA protocol, with a supply voltage of 11 V - 24 V and power consumption of approximately 350 mA at 12 V.

CONTROS HydroC™ CO2 FT-1

PRODUCT SHEET ACCURATE, FAST AND VERSATILE pCO2 FLOW THROUGH SENSOR Unmatched short and long term CO2 measurement accuracy for essential climate change research The CONTROS HydroC™ CO2 FT is a unique surface water carbon dioxide partial pressure sensor designed for underway (FerryBox) and lab applications. Based on the innovative and field proven CONTROS HydroC™ technology, which has an enviable track record in peer-reviewed scientific publications, the HydroC™ CO2 FT is an internationally trusted system and an essential tool for climate change research. INDIVIDUAL, ‘IN-SITU’ CALIBRATION All sensors are individually calibrated in a water tank which simulates the average deployment temperature. Here, a sophisticated reference detector is used to verify the pCO2 concentrations in the calibration tank. The reference sensor is recalibrated with secondary high quality standards on a daily basis, which ensures that CONTROS HydroC™ pCO2 sensors achieve unmatched short and long term accuracy. SOFTWARE CONTROS DETECT® includes real-time data visualization, setting of sensor parameters, download of data from internal data logger and sleep mode function. Windows 7 32 Bit or higher 200 MB free disk space Dual Core CPU with 2GB RAM OPERATING PRINCIPLE Water is pumped through the flow head of the CONTROS HydroC™ CO2 FT sensor. Dissolved CO2 molecules diffuse through the newly designed custom made thin film TOUGH membrane into the internal gas circuit leading to a detector chamber, where the partial pressure of CO2 is determined by IR absorption spectrometry. Concentration dependent nondispersive infrared (NDIR) light intensities are converted into an output signal from calibration coefficients stored in the sensor’s firmware and data from additional sensors within the gas circuit. 6,000 μatm Data logger Easy integra
