The Highly Instrumented Reactor for Atmospheric Chemistry, HIRAC, is a new NERC funded atmospheric simulation chamber developed to bridge the divide between the study of elementary reactions in the lab, and large scale field work. Unlike any other atmospheric simulation chambers HIRAC allows researchers the unique ability to control temperature, pressure and photolysis rates during experiments.
The HIRAC Group Just as the name suggests, HIRAC has a broad range of instrumentation based on different detection techniques so that we can accurately monitor the chemistry occurring inside the chamber.

HIRAC has been funded to carry out a number of exciting and novel experiments to answer some of the important questions remaining in atmospheric chemistry. We also plan to use the chamber to test and develop field measurement techniques.

HIRAC is a member of the EUROCHAMP (Integration of European Simulation Chambers for Investigating Atmospheric Processes) network of European chambers.

There is lots of information on this website about HIRAC, but if you require any further information please feel free to contact a member of the HIRAC group.
