Abstract

An infra-red gas analyzer is applied for tracer gas concentration measurements in greenhouses.
From the measured concentrations the ventilation rate of the greenhouse is calculated.
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is applied as a tracer, because it is inert for plants and because it mixes well with air.
Its moleculair weight is the same as that of CO₂, which is of interest for fotosynthesis experiments.
Since water vapour influences the infra-red absorbtion, a multi-component gas analyzer has to be used.
