AFC 135 Test System
Test System AFC 135 for development, testing and calibration of active or passive aerosol sensors (PM sensors, PN sensors)
The Aerosol Sensor Test System AFC 135 combines the features of the successfully established test systems for filter media and elements (AFC 131/AFC 132).
Additionally the range of application ius extended to the development, testing and calibration of sensors for number or mass-related determination of the particle loading of aerosols (PMx-and PNx- sensors). The wide field of application is made possible on the one hand by the flexible sensor integration (active and passive sensors) and on the other hand by the realisation of a wide volume flow range. On customer request, the test system can be equipped with 2 measuring sections to cover volume flow rates between 0,8 ... 40 m³/h and 40 ... 450 m³/h.

The main components of the test system are: a controlled blower to generate the main volume flow, a measuring duct divided into 3 sections, an aerosol generator (ATM 222) to generate the test aerosol and a laser aerosol spectrometer (LAP 323) for the reference aerosol analysis. The blower sucks ambient air through the measuring duct via a pre-filter. Thereby exposing the air in the first duct section to a test aerosol. A distribution system ensures an optimal distribution of the test aerosol in the measuring duct.
