Foreword
Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants use the sunlight energy to assimilate carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to produce organic matter and release oxygen, is an important mechanism for plants to exchange nutrients. In the research of modern agricultural science, the photosynthesis of plants is detected by the plant photosynthesis meter, which is helpful to study the growth and physiological characteristics of plants, and is an important basic condition for the high yield and quality of agricultural crops.
Principle of Photosynthesis Tester
Plant photosynthesis is the synthesis of organic matter by plants that absorb carbon dioxide in the air and moisture absorbed by plant roots, the energy provided by sunlight and the chloroplasts of the leaves. The faster the rate of photosynthesis, the better the growth of the plant. Therefore, the rate of photosynthesis has become an important basis for indicating the growth of plants. So how to measure the rate of photosynthesis? There are many methods to determine the photosynthetic rate, but the most widely used is to determine the photosynthetic rate based on the absorption of CO2. The CO2 absorption method is widely used because of its reliable theory and high sensitivity. It can measure samples in real time and non-destructively. The modern portable plant photosynthesis analyzer integrates a notebook computer and a gas analyzer. It uses the powerful calculation function and storage function of a computer to combine non-diffusion infrared CO2 analysis, temperature and humidity sensors, and light sensors. It can photosynthesize, breath, and transpiration plants. Indicators are measured and calculated.
Application Analysis of Mini Air Pump in Measuring Instrument
1. The role of the micro air pump in the photosynthesis meter is to collect the gas around the plant, and then the photosynthesis meter further analyzes and calculates the photosynthetic rate through changes in CO2 concentration, temperature and humidity.
2. The stable air flow of the micro air pump is an important condition to ensure the accuracy of the measuring instrument. Most portable measuring instruments use lithium batteries for power supply, and one of the characteristics of the battery is that during the discharge process, the battery voltage will gradually decrease as the capacity decreases. In this case, the speed and torque of the micro-pump motor will also decrease with the voltage drop, so it will cause the pump flow and load capacity to change. In this usage scenario that requires constant flow, we need to add a voltage regulator circuit in the power supply circuit, or choose a miniature pump with a built-in voltage regulator circuit.
3. In addition, the tolerance of the micro air pump to complex media is also crucial. E.g. In the process of collecting photosynthesis meter in the field, complex media such as high humidity will inevitably appear.
