MODEL 7917
THE EMISSION SAMPLING SYSTEM
Hot gas sampling up to 500 °C / 932 °F
The GRIMM 7917 Emission Sampling System (ESS) is designed to sample aerosol particles directly from hot exhaust gas, e.g. from fireplaces, combustion processes or engine exhausts. The sampling probe (Ø 8 mm) can be directly connected to stacks and features a two-stage dilution system with integrated filter, dryer and activated charcoal absorber. The dilution air of the first dilution stage is preheated, dried and free of particles and organic gases in order to avoid condensation. The second dilution is a cold dilution with particle free air. Both dilution stages are operated as closed loops with temperature stabilized critical nozzles for flow control of the dilution air. This allows very accurate, precise and stable dilution ratios. The ESS can be connected to a GRIMM SMPS+C or SMPS+E system for measuring continuous real-time particle size distributions.
