TSI 8108 Large Particle Aerosol Generator

Description of TSI 8108

Capable of producing highly concentrated salt aerosol from 0.1 to 10 micrometers in diameter, the CertiTest™ Large-particle Aerosol Generator Model 8108 meets the requirements of the established ISO/TS 11155-1 and ASHRAE 52.2 test codes, as well as the proposed ISO 16890 Part 2 code. Test aerosol is produced using potassium chloride (KCl). The Model 8108 generates, dries, and neutralizes the aerosol to ensure accurate, repeatable results, day after day.

Applications

• Aerosol generation
• Filter testing
• Generates aerosol suitable for automotive-cabin and ventilation air-fi lter tests, vacuum-cleaner performance tests, and other industrial air-fi ltration studies

Features and Benefits

• Produces a high concentration of aerosol particles from 0.1 to 10 µm
• Produces potassium chloride (KCl) or other aerosols
• Meets the requirements of the established ISO/TS 11155-1 and ASHRAE 52.2 test codes, as well as the proposed ISO 16890 Part 2 code.
