2B Tech instruments are in use throughout the world. Below are a few examples of unique applications and research projects utilizing 2B Tech instruments. Click on the links for more details. Development of a Portable Nitric Oxide Calibration Source: Poster presented by Peter Andersen of 2B Technologies, Inc. at the National Air Quality Conference. Conference sponsored by the EPA and the National Association of Clean Air Agencies (NACAA) in Portland Oregon, April 6-9, 2008. This is the first disclosure of our new Model 408 Ozone Calibration Source.ä Comparison of Ground Level Ozone Measurements with Forecasts: Poster presented by Donovan Rafferty of Washington State Department of Ecology at the EPA National Air Quality Conference in Portland, OR on April 8, 2008. A van carrying a Model 202 Ozone Monitor and meteorological equipment was used to verify the AIRPACT and NOAA forecasts of ozone events in an area southeast of Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. NOAA/CMDL Aircraft and UAV Measurements: The NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory is using light aircraft to measure ozone profiles on a regular basis at several sites around the U.S. This NOAA webpage shows a comparison of the 2B Tech instrument with an electrochemical ozone sonde. Also shown are data from a 2B Tech Ozone Monitor aboard a UAV. Continuous Ozone Measurements by the ETH on a Tram in Zurich, Switzerland: At this site you can see the current measurement of ozone made using a 2B Tech Ozone Monitor onboard a tram moving through the city of Zurich.

Monitoring at National Parks by the National Park Service: 2B Tech Ozone Monitors provide continuous measurements at the Grand Canyon, Isle Royale and Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Parks and Lake Mead and Big South Fork National Recreation Areas. In addition, 2B Tech instruments have been used by the National Park Service for special studies at Yosemite and the Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. Airline Cabin Environment Research (ACER): 2B Tech Ozone Monitors have been used by the University of California, Berkeley in studies of ozone exposure to passengers on commercial airliners. This is a presentation made on the subject by 2B Tech at an ACER meeting at Boeing in Seattle, Washington. Examples of other applications are included. Measurements on Ocean Buoys and Towers: Research paper by Eric Hintsa et al. of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution demonstrates the unattended use of 2B Tech Ozone Monitors on ocean buoys and towers. In addition, scientists at Purdue University are preparing to launch a buoy in the Arctic Ocean containing a 2B Tech Ozone Monitor. Understanding Ozone Distribution Inside Stator Core and Measurements Inside Air-Cooled Generators to Assess Partial Discharges Problem, paper by Louis Lépine et al. of the Institut de Recherche d’Hydro-Québec (IREQ). This paper demonstrates the use of ozone measurements to detect electrical discharges inside electrical generators used in hydroelectric plants. |
