What Are Solar Powered pH Meters?
|
An off-grid solar power system allows you to install and operate pH meters in
locations where a traditional 120VAC wired power source may be
impractical, expensive or not available. Solar power systems can be the perfect solution for saving money powering pH measurement equipment
in remote locations.
A solar powered pH meter is an electronic device used for measuring the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of a
liquid.
A typical solar powered pH meter consists of a special measuring probe (a glass electrode) connected to an
electronic meter that measures and displays the pH reading.
Solar powered pH meters are most often
instruments with computer interfaces and several inputs for indicator and temperature measurements
to be entered to adjust for the slight variation in pH caused by temperature. Specialty solar powered pH meters and
probes are available for use in special applications, harsh environments, etc.
Solar Powered pH Meter System
A solar power system for pH meter applications consists of a solar module, a solar charge controller, a rechargeable solar deep-cycle
battery, power converter, regulator or inverter and a weather-proof outdoor enclosure. This system is used to
collect solar energy and the store electrical power, and then convert the stored power into the correct voltage to
operate the pH meter.
What Size Solar Power System For pH Meters?
To select the correct size solar power system to power a pH meter there are a few things that must be known.
1. What is operating voltage and power consumption in amps, or watts of the pH meter?
2. How many hours each day will the pH meter be required to operate.
3. What is the geographical location the solar powered pH meter will be installed.
4. How many days of battery reserve power are desired for "no sun" days?
