PAM 510 Aerosol Monitor
Process Aerosol Monitor PAM 510 for analysis of mean particle size and particle concentration in monodisperse aerosols
The Process Aerosol Monitor PAM 510 determines in realtime the average particle size and number concentration in high-concentration, monodisperse aerosols.
The Condensation Aerosol Generators SLG 270 from Topas produces monodisperse aerosols in the size range from 0,2 to 8 µm. Both particle size and particle concentration can be quickly adjusted.
The Process Aerosol Monitor PAM 510 was developed for realtime measurement of the parameters mean particle size and particle number concentration. The instrument can directly be connected to the outlet of the SLG 270.
The system is also suitable for instrument calibration and aerosol research.

Particles of a highly concentrated aerosol streaming through a measuring cell where a light beam is crossed, cause light extinction. By measuring of average transmission and their fluctuation, the particle number concentration can be calculated independendly of the refractive index of the aerosol material to be analysed. Is the refractive index known, the average particle size can be computed simultaneously.
