[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, located in Germany, was founded in 1825 and is the oldest technological university in Germany. Its scientific research fields focus on climate, environment, and new energy, etc. The university conducted a study on the impact of fine particles on the deglaciation of glacier in Greenland. The purpose was to verify whether climate changes around Greenland, such as sandstorms, are one of the factors contributing to global warming. To this end, researchers started from the subdivision proposition, focusing on whether the sedimentary particles in the climate accelerated the rate of glacier deglaciation. The fine dust monitor system Fidas\u00ae introduced by Palas\u00ae can operate stably and efficiently under extreme environmental conditions, providing an accurate database for this research.<\/p>\n

Palas\u00ae Provides Solutions for Ecological Research<\/strong><\/p>\n

Palas\u00ae gave not only technical support for the research, but also scientific insights. In addition to providing fine dust monitor system Fidas\u00ae for researchers, Palas\u00ae Managing Director at that time, Mr. Leander M\u00f6lter and German ambassador to Denmark, Mr. Christoph Jessen also went to the research station of the Danish Meteorological Institute<\/p>\n

in Kelly Ville close to Kangerlussuaq. The project is aimed on conducting long-term measurements over some weeks and on measuring the normal background concentration in dependence of particle size and quantity. That way, the deviance to a higher local dust appearance, caused by sandstorms in the fjord, shall be determined. Hence resulting effects on the glacier melt shall be documented.<\/p>\n

Mr. Leander M\u00f6lter has made a reasonable explanation for this hypothesis, the light adsorption of particles bigger than 10 \u03bcm which are carried on the glaciers by frequent sandstorms leads to a faster deglaciation. Mr. M\u00f6lter and his colleagues installed a series of measuring devices in the research center, among which the Fidas\u00ae could show that the dust appearance can be determined reliably and in detail. These findings shall be integrated in a research project of the scientists from Karlsruhe.<\/p>\n

Stable Operation under Extremely Low Temperature <\/strong><\/p>\n

Fidas\u00ae has outstanding advantages in measuring capabilities. In this research from Karlsruhe University, the particle surface and the concentration are the decisive parameters to draw conclusions on the deglaciation of the glaciers by particles. With Fidas\u00ae, it is possible to determine not only the emission values PM1, PM2.5 and PM10, but also the surface distribution as well as the exact particle size and quantity. In Greenland, Palas\u00ae combined Fidas\u00ae with a specially modified sampling head Sigma-2 as active collector. Furthermore, it is possible to collect other relevant data as temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, wind velocity and wind direction.<\/p>\n

In addition, Fidas\u00ae can operate stably at extremely low temperatures. In Greenland, temperatures of down to -45\u00b0C are possible, also variations in temperatures of 40\u00b0C within a few days. In the research, the welas\u00ae aerosol sensor used can be utilized in temperatures between -90\u00b0C and +70\u00b0C. Considering that the extreme environment around the location of Fidas\u00ae, it could be impossible for researchers to access the instrument all the time. Therefore, Palas\u00ae worked on the system\u2019s power supply by a solar cell. With it, Fidas\u00ae could be operated self-sustaining at remote places.<\/p>\n

Innovative Monitor System to Protect the Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the currently used measurement methods, with which the emission values are measured gravimetrically, it can only be evaluated, how high the total mass concentration was over a determined period of time. However, the Fidas\u00ae system carries real-time measurements into effect, with which the particle number and size can be determined with a high time-resolution. Thus, faster and more exact data bases are created. Mr. Leander M\u00f6lter pointed out that environmental measurement is the central topic at Palas\u00ae, therefore, a more advanced fine dust monitor system, Fidas\u00ae 200, has been launched, which is available now in the Chinese market. According to the latest EN standard, which has been ratified by the European Commission, Fidas\u00ae 200 has EN 16450 approved certification and can measure PM2.5 and PM10 simultaneously.<\/p>\n
