Water Sensors
The ocean
is extremely important to reducing climate change. It serves
as a major heat and carbon sink; absorbing 25% of all CO²
emitted by fossil fuel burning and 93% of all excess heat in
the earth's system.
Rising global
temperatures is increasing the sea level, temperature and currents.
The rise in sea levels is affecting low lying coastal regions
all over the world as they are subject to more frequent flooding
from storm surges. Typhoons, tropical cyclones, and hurricanes
and all draw their energy from the warm surface layer of the
ocean, and the shift in ocean currents is affecting ocean ecosystems
and the health of marine species.
It is not all doom and gloom though as all of these changes can
be monitored and measured by science. KELLER has a range of standard
and customised depth and temperature products that can accurately
measure depth to ±0.01%FS over -5… 35°C with
a resolution of 0.001%FS. For example, on a 100m range you have
an accuracy of ±10mm and a resolution of ±2mm.
These products enable OEM marine system manufacturers to provide
accurate and reliable data in all marine environments.
They are used by many leading oceanographic companies in applications
such as… ocean sampling devices, underwater ROV's, sonar
transponders, submarine navigation systems, and diving applications.
The LX series is a fully customisable product, ideal for oceanographic
use. Available in any Pressure ranges up to 1000bar measuring
to ±0.01%FS over -5… 35°C; sensors materials
available in Titanium, Hastelloy, Inconel or Stainless Steel;
digital outputs of RS485, TTL, I²C or SDI-12.
