Product catalog summary
Overview
The ATM series of aerosol generators are designed to produce test aerosols with defined properties, adhering to VDI 3491 guidelines. These devices ensure consistent particle size distribution and concentration, making them suitable for various applications including filter testing, aerosol research, and cleanroom validation.

Special Advantages
  • Compliance with VDI 3491 guidelines
  • Long-term stability of test aerosols
  • Submicron particle size distribution
  • Adjustable particle production
  • Customizable device solutions based on use case

Applications
  • Filter testing
  • Aerosol research for inhalation studies and toxicological experiments
  • Calibration of measuring instruments
  • Flow visualization
  • Cleanroom validation

Device Specifications
  • ATM 220: Powered by compressed air, suitable for lab use and filter test stands.
  • ATM 226: Features an internal compressor for mobile use, ideal for cleanroom validation.
  • ATM 210: Pressure-tight, used for testing compressed air filters under real operating pressure.
  • ATM 230: Operated with compressed air, offers a higher particle production rate than ATM 220.
  • ATM 241: Designed for high particle production rates with adjustable aerosol flow rate and long-term operation capability.

Operating Principles
The aerosol generators utilize a patented atomizer made of stainless steel, functioning as a two-substance nozzle based on the injection principle. This design includes a baffle to remove coarse droplets, resulting in submicron particle size distribution. The devices can also operate in Laskin mode for reduced particle production rates.

Technical Specifications
  • Compressed air supply varies across models, with maximum pressures ranging from 2.5 bar to 15 bar.
  • Flow rates and mass flows differ by model, with the ATM 241 capable of up to 40 m³/h and 240 g/h respectively.
  • Aerosol materials include DEHS, PAO, DOP, salt solutions, paraffin oil, and PSL.

Quality and Safety
The ATM series is certified to DIN EN ISO 9001 standards, ensuring quality management. DEHS or PAO are recommended as safer alternatives to DOP, classified as hazardous under the Globally Harmonised System (GHS).

Conclusion
The ATM aerosol generators offer versatile and reliable solutions for generating test aerosols across various applications, with customizable options to meet specific needs.

Atomizer Aerosol Generator ATM 220 with Diffusion Dryer suitable for generation of Calibration Aerosols Device Designs Depending on the application the individual device models differ in their technical implementation of this operating principle. The ATM 220 is powered by compressed air and is therefore particularly suitable for use in the lab or on the filter test stand. The ATM 226 has an internal compressor, thus being suitable for mobile use for example for validation measurements in clean rooms. The stainless steel casing can be cleaned very easily. The generators of the ATM series generate...

ATM 226 - Clean Room Aerosol Generator-3

Aerosol Generators for High Particle Production Rates ATM 241 Operating Principle For the ATM 241 series, a new nozzle type has been developed (patented). Compressed air is blown through a thin ring slit into the liquid to be nebulised. Shear forces acting between air jet and the liquid at the circumference of this so-called ring slit nozzle form the droplet aerosol. The resulting aerosol stream is fed directly into the aerosol liquid (Laskin-mode). Inertial effects prevent big droplets from leaving the liquid. Venturi effect causes droplets to be taken up by air stream Larger particles are retained...
