The Qubit A365 Gas Controller set to PID mode energizes a 3-way solenoid valve to inject control gas (e.g. CO2) into the carrier gas (e.g. Air) to regulate the CO2 level in a chamber. The levels of sub-sampled control gas are measured by Qubit's CO2 analyzer. A feedback signal is sent back to the Gas Controller A365 which activates or deactivates the solenoid valve to control the flow, and thereby the chamber level, of CO2.
- Features:
- Control of Gas Concentrations in a Chamber via Feedback Control of a Solenoid
- Ability to cope with Slow Changes in the Controlled Gas due to Plant or Animal Activity
- Flexible System that can be used for control of various gases (by changing the Gas Analyzer)
- Applications:
- Photosynthesis Research
- Animal Respiration Research
- Plant Growth Studies
- Components:
- A365 Gas Controller
- Gas Analyzer
- Q-P103 Gas Pump (1LPM)
