Product catalog summary
Overview
The Process Aerosol Monitor (PAM) Series is designed for the measurement and monitoring of highly concentrated aerosols. It is particularly useful for aerosol generator monitoring.

Principle of Operation
The PAM operates by measuring light extinction as particles pass through a measuring cell intersected by a light beam. This allows for the calculation of particle number concentration independently of the aerosol material's refractive index. If the refractive index is known, the average particle size can also be determined.

Key Features
  • Innovative online measurement of aerosols.
  • Simultaneous determination of particle size and number concentration.
  • Independence from the refractive index for particle concentration determination.
  • Wide measuring range.
  • Serial interface available for computer connectivity.

Specifications
  • Particle size range: 0.5 to 10 µm.
  • Particle concentration range: 104 to 107 particles/cm3.
  • Power supply: 12 V/DC, 200 mA via AC adapter.
  • Light source: 3 mW, λ=780 nm laser diode.
  • Microprocessor: TMPZ84C015 (Toshiba).
  • Sample flow rate: 10 l/h to 500 l/h.
  • Sheath air flow rate: 12 l/h.
  • Counter pressure: max. 3 kPa (30 mbar).
  • Dimensions: 200 x 235 x 60 mm.
  • Weight: 2.4 kg.

Optional Features
The PAM 510/S model allows data transfer to a computer via an RS 232 interface for monitoring purposes.

Applications
The PAM series is suitable for real-time measurement of particle size and concentration, making it ideal for instrument calibration and aerosol research.

Process Aerosol Monitor Series PAM 510-2

Specifications Arosol Generator Monitoring The Topas Condensation Arosol Generator S驩ries SLG produces monodisperse aerosols. Both particle size and particle concentration to be generated can be quickly adjusted. The Process Aerosol Monitor series PAM was developed for realtime measurement of particle size as well as particle concentration. The instrument can directly be connected to the outlet in front of the aerosol generator series SLG (see figure below). This equipment enables an excellent control of the particle size and particle concentration. The system is well suitable for instrument...
