Abstract

An air sampling system for a low-temperature space is disclosed. The air sampling system includes an air sampling pipe for passing sampling air to an air sampling device, and a sampling conduit extending from the low-temperature space to outside the low-temperature space. The sampling conduit is connected to the sampling pipe. The sampling conduit is selectively accessible from outside the low-temperature space for removal of ice build-up within the sampling conduit. Also disclosed is a kit for an air sampling system. Also disclosed is a method, computing system, air-sampling device and air monitoring system that evaluates an air sampling network.
