KH20 Krypton Hygrometer

1. General Description

The KH20 is a krypton hygrometer for measuring water vapor fluctuations in

the air. The name KH20 (KH-twenty) was derived from KH2O (K-H2O), and

the sensor has been known with this name since 1985. It is typically used with

the CSAT3 3-D sonic anemometer for measuring latent heat flux (LE), using

Eddy Covariance technique. Please refer to the Open Path Eddy Covariance

System operator’s manual for details on flux measurements using the KH20

sensor.

The KH20 sensor uses a krypton lamp that emits two absorption lines: major

line at 123.58 nm and minor line at 116.49 nm. Both of these lines are

absorbed by water vapor, and a small amount of the minor line is absorbed by

oxygen. The KH20 is not suitable for absolute water vapor concentration

measurements due to its signal offset drift.

The KH20 heads are sealed and will not suffer damage should they get wet. In

addition, the electronics box and the connectors are housed inside a rain shield

(CSI p/n 14113) that protects them from moisture. The KH20 is suitable for

long-term continuous outdoor applications.

The KH20 sensor is comprised of two main parts: the sensor head and the

electronics box. The sensor head comes with cables with 6 ft of lead length

that connect the sensor to the electronics box. It is shipped with a rain shield

(CSI p/n 14113) to protect the electronics box and the connectors from

moisture, a 20 inch 3/4 IPS threaded aluminium pipe (CSI p/s 3874), a 3/4” x

3/4” Nu-Rail (CSI p/n 1017), and a 5/32 inch Allen wrench (CSI p/n 4697) for

mounting. The sensor comes with a signal/power cable which has 25 ft lead

length. If a longer cable is desired, the customer can order a replacement cable

(p/n KH20CBL-L) and specify the desired lead length after -L.

Discussion on the principles and theory of measurement is

included in Appendix A.

3. Installation

3.1 Siting

When installing the KH20 sensor for latent heat flux measurement in an eddy

covariance application, proper siting, sensor height, sensor orientation and

fetch are important. Please refer to Section 2 Installation and Mounting of the

Open Path Eddy Covariance System manual for more discussion on siting.

3.2 Mounting

3.2.1 Parts and Tools Needed for Mounting

You will need the following hardware to mount the KH20 sensor:

1. Tripod (CSI model CM115 standard) or tower

2. CM20x series crossarm (CSI model CM204 standard)

3. 3/4 inch IPS Aluminum Pipe, 12 inches long (CSI p/n 18048)

4. 3/4” x 1” Nu-rail (CSI p/n 1049)

5. Small Phillips and flat-head screw-drivers

6. 1/2 inch wrench

KH20 Krypton Hygrometer

3.2.2 Mounting the KH20 Sensor

Mount the KH20 sensor head as follows:

1. Attach the 20 inch long mounting boom to the KH20.

2. Mount a crossarm onto a tripod or tower.

3. Mount the 12 inch long pipe (CSI p/n 18048) to a crossarm via 1” x 3/4”

Nu-rail (CSI p/n 1049).

4. Mount the KH20 onto the 12” long pipe using a 3/4” x 3/4” Nu-rail (CSI

p/n 1017). Mount the KH20 such that the source tube, the longer of the

two tubes, is positioned on top, as shown in Figure 1. Gather any loose

cables and tie them up, using cable ties, onto the tripod or tower mast.

FIGURE 1. Mounting KH20 onto a tripod.

3.2.3 Mounting the Electronics Box

Mount the electronics box as follows:

1. First, remove the front cover of the rain shield by loosening the two pan-

head screws on the bottom front of the rain shield, and then pushing the

cover all the way up, and sliding it out.

It will be difficult to mount the rain shield to a mast with the

front cover on, since the 1/2 inch nut holding the bottom U-bolt

is located inside the rain shield.

NOTE

KH20 Krypton Hygrometer

2. Before mounting the rain shield onto a tripod, first mount the electronics

box inside the rain shield. Remove the four pan-head screws from the

back panel of the rain shield. Align the electronics box, and use the four

pan-head screws to secure the electronics box onto the back panel. Make

sure the electronics box is pushed all the way up, and the screws are

positioned at the bottom of the mounting slot on the electronics box (see

Figure 2). This will provide enough room to attach the connectors to the

bottom of the electronics box later on.

FIGURE 2. Proper mounting position of the electronics box.

If the electronics box is not pushed all the way up during

mounting, you will not have enough room to attach the

connectors to the bottom of the electronics box, as the U-bolt for

the rain shield will block the position of the connectors.

NOTE

3. Mount the rain shield onto the tripod or tower mast using the U-bolt

provided. Make sure that the distance between the KH20 sensor head and

the rain shield is within 5 feet so that the cables from the sensor head will

be within reach of the electronics box. Also make sure that the rain shield

is mounted vertically with an opening pointing downward so that the rain

will effectively run down the rain shield and not penetrate inside.

4. Connect the three cables to the bottom of the electronics box around the

U-bolt on the rain shield (see Figure 3). If there is not enough room for

the connectors around the U-bolt, make sure the electronics box is

mounted at a highest possible position (see step 2).

FIGURE 3. Attaching cables to the electronics box.

5. Place the front cover back on the rain shield and tighten the two pan-head

screws to secure it in place.

6. Gather any loose cables and tie them up, using cable ties, onto the tripod

or tower mast.

4. Wiring

The KH20 sensor is shipped with a power/signal cable with a 25 ft standard

lead length. Table 1 shows the connections for the KH20 to the CR1000,

CR3000, and CR5000.

5. Datalogger Programming

The KH20 sensor outputs 0 to 5 Vdc analog signal. These signals can be

measured using the VoltDiff instruction on the CRBasic dataloggers or the

Volt (Diff) (P2) instruction on the traditional Edlog dataloggers.

5.1 KH20 Calibration

Each KH20 is calibrated over a vapor range of approximately 2 to 19 g/m3.

The calibration is performed twice under the following two conditions:

window clean, and scaled. The water vapor absorption coefficient for three

different vapor ranges are calculated from the collected calibration data: full

range, dry range, and wet range. Table 2 shows a sample of the KH20 vapor

ranges over which three different water vapor absorption coefficients are

calculated. See Appendix A for more information on KH20 calibration.

TABLE 2. KH20 Calibration Ranges

Ranges Vapor Density (g/m3)

Full Vapor Range 2 – 19

Dry Vapor Range 2 – 9.5

Wet Vapor Range 8.25 – 19

Before the water vapor absorption coefficient, kw, is entered into the datalogger

program for the KH20, the following decisions must be made:

•Will the windows be allowed to scale?

•What vapor range is appropriate for the site?

Once the decision is made, the appropriate kwcan be chosen from the

calibrations sheet. The calibration sheet also contains the path length, x, for a

specific KH20. Using the water vapor absorption coefficient for either the dry

or the wet vapor range will produce more accurate measurements than using

that for the full range. If the vapor range of the site is unknown, or if the vapor

range is on the border line between the dry and the wet vapor ranges, the full

range should be used.
