CONTROS provides all kinds of cables for laboratory and field work, along with subsea power options and a variety of turnkey solutions for underwater sensing. Furthermore CONTROS has broad experience in building customer-specific winches, mountings, and cages for every type of application.
Dissolved CO2 molecules diffuse through a patented thin-film composite membrane into the detector chamber, where their volume is determined by means of IR absorption spectrometry. Concentration-dependent IR light intensities are converted into output signals.
