Abstract
A carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement system is provided. The system comprises an air-side gas permeation unit and a water side gas permeation unit in operable fluid communication with a housing. The permeations units feed a gas stream within the housing, where the gas stream passes through a CO2 sensor in fluid communication with the gas stream. A control unit in the housing can control the gas stream and/or at least the sensor such that the system is configured to determine a delta value corresponding to a difference between an air-side CO2 value and a water-side CO2 value.
Claims20
A carbon dioxide (CO2) measurement system comprising:
- a housing;
- an air-side gas permeation unit in operable communication with the housing;
- a water-side gas permeation unit in operable communication with the housing;
- a gas stream, wherein at least a portion of the gas stream is within the housing and the gas stream is in fluid communication with the air-side gas permeation unit and the water-side gas permeation unit;
- at least one CO2 sensor within the housing in fluid communication with the gas stream;
- and
- a control unit within the housing, wherein at least one of the CO2 sensor and the control unit are configured to determine a delta value corresponding to a difference between an air-side CO2 value and a water-side CO2 value.
