Patent number: 10113998Abstract: A method of testing an air sample and/or testing equipment may comprise introducing aerosolized sample particles into an air flow to create sample air upstream from an air quality sampling device. The method may include introducing the sample air to an offset sample inlet of a bell cap inlet adaptor coupled to a sample tube. The method may include merging at least a portion of the introduced sample air with axially flowing air with little to no turbulence based on the geometry of the bell cap inlet adaptor and/or a containment cavity. The method may include introducing at least a portion of the sample air into the sample tube. Next, a test of at least one of the quality of the sample air and/or the functionality of the bell cap inlet may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATIONInventor: Michael D Tissandier

Patent number: 9726653Abstract: A chemical detector is provided and includes a chemical detector device and a chemical agent aerosol vaporizer assembly. The chemical agent aerosol vaporizer assembly includes a vaporizer fluidly interposed between an inlet and an outlet and is configured to receive via the inlet a chemical agent aerosol in the vaporizer wherein the chemical agent aerosol is smeared against a fluted surface that is passivated against adsorption and vaporized. The vaporized chemical agent aerosol is subsequently output to the chemical detector device via the outlet.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATIONInventor: Michael D.
