A mold sensor include a housing that defines an enclosed chamber in which a nutrient-treated substrate is positioned. The mold sensor includes a substrate advancement mechanism that is configured to selectively move the substrate to expose a surface of the substrate within the chamber. The mold sensor includes a sensor configured to detect mold growth on the substrate within the chamber.

A method of analyzing particles present in a service fluid of a device includes analyzing the particles during operation of the device where a service fluid flows through a service fluid circuit of the device during the analyzing. The method further includes branching off a service fluid stream at a first branch point of the service fluid circuit, feeding the branched-off service fluid stream to a separation unit, branching the branched-off service fluid stream into a first service fluid stream and a second service fluid stream by the separation unit, feeding a majority of particles present in the branched-off service fluid stream to the first service fluid stream by the separation unit, and ascertaining at least one parameter of the particles fed to the first service fluid stream by an evaluation unit.

An on-line measurement system for aerosol precursors emitted from industrial sources has three parts: online measurement part, pipeline cleaning part and automatic control part. The system includes: a particulate filter, high temperature intake pipe, two detergent tanks, an air pump, a cooling water pump, two detergent pumps, a condenser, an impinger, a cooling water meter, a salinity meter, a liquid flow meter, a gas flow meter, nitrogen cylinders, connecting pipes, control valves, computer control program etc. The aerosol precursor concentration Cg emitted from industrial sources is measured in the online measurement section. After every measurement, the pipeline is cleaned by the pipeline cleaning part to remove organic and inorganic residual. The automatic control part is controlled by the computer through a controlling program to control the working process of the system. The system has small area occupation, low investment cost, simple maintenance, convenient transformation and high applicability.

A sample handling system receives a downhole sample. The sample handle system conditions the sample using a separator and filters to allow discharge of unwanted liquids and particulates prior to flowing the sample to one or more analyzers. Separating the moisture and particulates from the sample improves the operation of the components of the sample handling system, for example, by eliminating unwanted condensate or moisture. A coalescing filter, for example, may protect a proportional valve by removing unwanted particulates and liquids from the sample. Additionally, main components of the sample handling system are accessible from a front of a housing to allow for ease of repair and replacement.

A combustion analyzer system includes an analyzer unit, a primary analysis probe and one or more remote probes. The analyzer unit includes a condensation removal unit and two or more electrochemical sensors to detect at least oxygen and carbon monoxide. The analyzer unit or the primary analysis probe include a means for condensing and eliminating liquid in the combustion gas to be analyzed.

A gas measuring device includes: a gas rectification unit configured to rectify gas to control traveling directions and traveling speeds of gas molecules based on molecular weights of the gas molecules; and a gas sensor configured to absorb the gas molecules of the gas rectified by the gas rectification unit, and to detect absorption positions and absorption amounts.

Provided is a continuous isokinetic sampling device of a stack gas having a suction nozzle to which a cross-sectional area control device is attached, and a continuous automatic measurement system of fine dusts in the stack gas combined with the same, the device and system being configured to continuously separate and automatically measure the suspended particles into PM10 (Particulate Matter Less than 10 μm) and PM2.5 (Particulate Matter Less than 2.5 μm) by introducing a suction gas into a particle size separation device (cascade Impactor) at a constant flow rate of 16.67 l/min, simultaneously with removing an measurement error caused due to inertia force of the suspended particles by automatically adjusting the cross-sectional area of the suction nozzle to suck the sample at the same flow rate as that of the stack gas in the stationary source emissions.

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.
