MODEL 11-D
THE DUST DECODER
The all-purpose 11-D: Decode Your Dust
The model 11-D, in its compact and rugged design, combines all advantages of the previous portable GRIMM aerosol spectrometers with the improved optical detection, long-term battery operation, and facilitated handling.
This configuration places the 11-D in the leading position of the portable aerosol spectrometers for monitoring inhalable, thoracic and respirable dust, PM values, and particle number concentration.
The 11-D is the optimal solution for reliable, flexible and real-time measurements for aerosol research and indoor air quality, e. g. at workplaces, interior of vehicles, or for process analysis.
Overview
- Enviro algorithm: TSP, PM10, PM4, PM2.5 PM1, PMcoarse | IAQ algorithm: pm10, pm2.5, pm1, inhalable, thoracic, respirable
- real-time monitoring of particle number over size, particle surface over size, particle mass over size
- additional information of particle number, particle surface, and dust mass distribution
- 31 equidistant size channels, PSL traceable
- integrated 47 mm PTFE filter (GRIMM dual technology)
- versatile data acquisition and communication interfaces (Bluetooth, USB, Ethernet, RS-232)
- rinsing air for protecting laser and detector in optical cell
- internal sensor for temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) in optical cell
- total inlet flow (1.2 L/min) analyzed in optical cell
- self-test of all optical and pneumatic components for highest quality standards
