MODEL EDM365-SVC
OUTDOOR RESEARCH ON SVC & PM
Identify Semi-Volatile Compounds in Real-Time
The mobile environmental dust monitor EDM 365-SVC is a high-tech stand-alone system for simultaneous measurement of the dust mass fractions PM10, PM2.5, PM1 and the particle size distribution in 31 isze channels.
The unique feature of this instrument is the real-time detection of airborne Semi-Volatile Compounds. For this purpose, the EDM 365-SVC is equipped with a unique dual sampling system consisting of two sampling lines:
1) isothermal Nafion dryer
2) thermal evaporator
By alternating between the isotherm sample pipe to the heated sample pipe the SVC share within the total dust can be determined.
The outdoor weather protection housing is thermo-isolated with an automatic heating and proportional ventilation.
Overview
- real-time measurement of PM10, PM2.5, PM1, total counts (TC), and particle number distribution
- measurement of SVC ratio
- dual sampling system with isothermal Nafion dryer and thermal evaporator
- no radioactive source, insensitive to vibrations
- fully automated with remote access
- low maintenance, no consumables
- versatile data acquisition and communication (GSM data logger)
- self-test of all optical and pneumatic components for high quality standards
- rinsing air for protecting laser and detector in optical cell
- meteorological sensors for additional information
- total inlet flow analyzed in optical cell
- excellent counting statistics and reproducibility at low and high dust concentrations
- stainless steel housing for continuous use in the harshest environments
Applications
- evaluation of SVC ratio in PM mass fractions
- investigation of aerosol formation processes
- contribution of gaseous precursors on secondary PM
- effect of SVC on particle number size distribution
- aerosol science
