Abstract: The present invention provides a new and improved method for quickly and accurately determining the rotor blade angle of a wind power installation. The present invention also allows for the rotor blade angle measurements to be taken from the ground, thereby allowing the measuring equipment to be easily disconnected and transported to other sites. For example, a rotor blade angle of a wind power installation may be determined by using a spacing measuring device to measure the spacing between the rotor blade and the spacing measuring device. The measurements may then be processed in a computer to calculate the angle between the rotor blade and the spacing measuring device. Once this angle (the alpha angle) is ascertained, it may be compared to other values to assist in further adjusting the rotor blade angle.

Abstract: A device for performing gas absorption spectroscopy comprises a Herriott type multipass cell (10) having a center axle (74) and a housing (80A,80B) surrounding and spaced from the axle to provide a tubular sample cavity (84). The gas sample is pumped through the sample cavity via apertures (154,156) provided in opposed ends of the axle. A first mirror (44) and a second mirror (46) are supported at opposed ends of the axle. A light source e.g a laser or LED, is provided for emitting a light beam into the sample cavity via an entry aperture (30) in the first mirror, the light beam having a wave-length at which the preselected gas strongly absorbs. The beam is reflected between the mirrors for a number of times before exiting the cell via an exit aperture (48) in the second mirror and impinging on a detector (52). The device further comprises a reference detector (32) for monitoring the intensity of the unattenuated light beam and a detector for detecting the intensity of light transmitted through the second mirror after a single pass through the cell. The light source is operatively connected to a heat control assembly having a heat sink and the gas sample is passed past said heat sink to augment temperature control of the light source.
