Abstract
Air quality measurement system, method and apparatus are described. The air quality measurement system is also referred to as air constituent measurement system. Various air-quality parameters such as, for example, particulate matter, SO2, NO2, CO, O3, H2S, CO2, HCL, NH3, CH4, VOC etc. can be measured.
Claims14
An air constituent measurement apparatus for measuring the constituents of inlet air, comprising:
- a measurement chamber;
- an air conditioning system configured to maintain the temperature and humidity of the inlet air in the measurement chamber;
- an inlet separator, wherein the inlet separator separates surrounding air and the inlet air, to isolate the surrounding air from the inlet air, and intermittently control the flow of the surrounding air into the measurement chamber;
- at least one real-time sensor configured to measure a constituent in the constituents of the inlet air;
- an outlet separator, wherein the outlet separator separates the inlet air and the surrounding air, to isolate the inlet air from the surrounding air, and intermittently control the flow of the inlet air into the surrounding air;
- a hollow housing assembly having a top face angled with respect to a ground and a bottom face depressed into the housing, thereby providing a bottom portion including cladding and an area for placement of the measurement chamber;
- and
- a solar panel installed on the top face;
- at least one hole on the cladding;
- a ventilation cutout on at least one face of the housing assembly allowing outflow of air from inside of the hollow housing assembly through natural or forced draft into the surrounding air.

An air constituent measurement apparatus for measuring the constituents of inlet air, comprising:
- a gas measurement chamber and a particulate measurement chamber;
- an air conditioning system in the particulate measurement chamber configured to maintain the temperature and humidity of the inlet air in the particulate measurement chamber and the gas measurement chamber;
- an inlet separator for the gas measurement chamber, wherein the inlet separator separates surrounding air and the inlet air to isolate the surrounding air from the inlet air and intermittently control the flow of surrounding air into the gas measurement chamber;
- at least one real-time gas sensor configured to measure a gas in the constituents of the inlet air;
- an outlet separator for the gas measurement chamber, wherein the outlet separator separates inlet air and the surrounding air to isolate the inlet air from the surrounding air and intermittently control the flow of the inlet air into a surroundings;
- an inlet separator for the particulate measurement chamber, wherein the inlet separator separates surrounding air and the inlet air to isolate the surrounding air from the inlet air and intermittently control the flow of surrounding air into the particulate measurement chamber;
- at least one real-time particulate sensor configured to measure a particulate constituent of the inlet air;
- an outlet separator for the particulate measurement chamber, wherein the outlet separator separates inlet air and the surrounding air to isolate the inlet air from the surrounding air and intermittently control the flow of the inlet air into the surrounding air;
- a hollow housing assembly having a top face at an angle with respect to a ground and a bottom face depressed into the housing thereby providing a bottom portion including cladding and an area for placement of the measurement chambers;
- and
- a solar panel installed on the top face;
- at least one hole on the cladding;
- a ventilation cutout on at least one face of the housing assembly allowing outflow of air from inside of the hollow housing assembly through natural or forced draft into the surrounding air.

A method for air constituent measurement comprising the steps of:
- inletting surrounding air into a measurement chamber;
- isolating inlet air from said surrounding air;
- conditioning of the inlet air for optimum quantity of temperature and humidity prior to measurement of the constituent of inlet air;
- measuring the constituent of inlet air using at least one real-time air constituent sensor;
- separating inlet air and the surrounding air to isolate the inlet air from the surrounding air and intermittently control the flow of the inlet air into the surrounding air;
- placing the said measurement chamber in a hollow housing assembly having a top face at an angle with respect to a ground and a bottom face depressed into the housing thereby providing a bottom portion including cladding and an area for placement of the measurement chamber;
- and
- receiving power in the said measurement chamber using a solar panel installed on the top face;
- at least one hole on the cladding;
- a ventilation cutout on at least one face of the housing assembly allowing outflow of air from inside of the hollow housing assembly through natural or forced draft into the surrounding air.
