The fluxes skyrocketed and stayed high for hours. All of the Tekran analyzers performed excellently during the study. As manufacturers, we cannot recommend operation under these conditions on a regular basis, but it's comforting for researchers to know that the Model 2537A works under virtually all conditions. Several groups used the Model 1110 Two Port Synchronized Sampler as a switcher for their flux chambers. It worked well and saved the cost of a second analyzer.
Some preliminary results are available.
Our thanks to Oak Ridge National Labs and to the University of Michigan for having draft data available so soon. For those of you who are interested, we have posted some photos showing the site, the monitoring equipment used, and the researchers involved in the study. Acknowledgements Tekran would like to thank Don and Mary Ann from EPRI for their support in organizing this intercomparison. In particular, Tekran and all of the participants want to thank Mae Gustin and her students for their tireless work in organizing every aspect of this undertaking. They went to great lengths in planning the event and in resolving any difficulties that arose.
