Abstract: A pressure reduction system and methods therefore that include features for reducing the pressure of a high pressure aerosol to ambient pressure without significantly changing the characteristics of the aerosol are provided. In this manner, the non-volatile particulate matter concentration in a sample stream obtained from the aerosol stream at ambient pressure is representative of the non-volatile particulate matter concentration that was present in the aerosol stream at high pressure prior to the pressure reduction.

Abstract: An actuating device for bi-directionally adjusting an actuator may include an actuator drive and a coupling device drive-connected to the actuator drive and the actuator. The coupling device may include a first coupling member, a second coupling member and a joint connecting the first coupling member and the second coupling member to each other in an articulated manner. The joint may have a housing which is fixedly connected to the first coupling member. The housing may define a bearing chamber having a first bearing face facing away from the first coupling member. The joint may include a bearing shell fixedly connected to a shaft of the second coupling member. The bearing shell may be arranged in the bearing chamber and have a first counter bearing face facing the first coupling member. The bearing shell may have a second counter bearing face facing away from the first coupling member.
