  • Patent number: 11692914
    Abstract: The aerosol diluting apparatus includes a first diluting unit to provide a first modified sample flow by combining an aerosol sample flow with a first diluting gas flow, an ejector unit to draw the first modified sample flow from the first diluting unit to the ejector unit and to provide a second modified sample flow by mixing a second dilution gas flow with the first modified sample flow, a control unit, and a control valve, wherein the control unit and the control valve are arranged to adjust flow rate of the second dilution gas flow according to an inlet pressure of the aerosol sample flow, so as to keep the dilution factor of the diluting apparatus substantially independent of the inlet pressure.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11101622
    Abstract: A particle measuring apparatus includes a charging unit to form charged particles from aerosol particles carried by an input flow, and a particle detector to provide an electric current by collecting the charged particles, wherein the charging unit in turn includes a counter-electrode having a substantially hemispherical inner portion to define a charging space, an inlet channel for guiding aerosol particles into the charging space, a corona electrode to form charged particles from the aerosol particles by generating a corona discharge in the charging space, and an outlet channel for guiding charged particles from the charging space to the detector.
