SIX-CHANNEL READOUT FOR A CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF SPACE-CABIN ATMOSPHERE.

Abstract

The report documents the design and construction of a six-channel readout system. The equipment is intended as a laboratory tool for monitoring the atmosphere of a simulated aerospace cabin. The system indicates (in mm of mercury) the partial pressures of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, as well as the total pressure of the cabin atmosphere. A manifold containing the water-vapor pressure and total pressure transducers is provided as an accessory to the readout system. Visual presentation of the various parameters indicative of the cabin atmosphere is available on a Nixie tube diplay and also in printed form. Identical information is simultaneously available from an analog output capable of driving a pen recorder, and a digital output to operate a paper tape punch. An operation and maintenance manual is available as AD-666 693. (Author)
