Description

Thermal aerosol generators are essential tools for challenging HEPA filters to ensure their efficiency and integrity in critical environments. They produce a fine, consistent aerosol of known particle size and concentration, mimicking contaminants that the filter is designed to capture. This allows for accurate testing of the filter’s performance under real-world conditions, verifying that it meets stringent standards for particle retention. By using thermal aerosol generators, industries such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and cleanroom manufacturing can ensure compliance with safety and quality regulations, protecting both processes and personnel.

Concept’s VC Aero Micro thermal aerosol generator stands out as an exceptional choice for HEPA filter challenging due to its compact design, robust performance, and advanced technical capabilities. It is the smallest thermal aerosol generator on the market, making it highly portable and suitable for diverse applications, including challenging a variety of air handling unit (AHU) installations. Its class-leading output range ensures precise aerosol delivery, essential for rigorous filter performance testing.

Key features include:

1. Multifluid Compatibility: It supports multiple aerosol reagents such as Ondina, PAO, DEHS and Durasyn, providing versatility for different testing requirements.
2. Precision Control: An intelligent PID controller and precision machined high mass heat exchanger assembly deliver a consistent aerosol size, ensuring optimal operation and adaptability to varied testing conditions.
3. Rapid Warm-Up and Continuous Operation: With a fast 4-5 minute warm-up time and a continuous duty cycle, it ensures efficiency and minimizes downtime during testing.
4. Convenience and Durability: Features like dual voltage compatibility (110/230V), a timer for on/off aerosol periods, and radio remote control enhance user convenience. The stainless steel construction and a five-year parts warranty underline the units durability and reliability.
5. High Aerosol Concentration Capabilities: The device can achieve concentrations such as 100 µg/L at up to 12,250 m³/h airflow, making it suitable for challenging high-efficiency filtration systems.
6. Optional Customization: Accessories such as a vernier-scale aerosol adjustment valves, digital / proportional gas regulators, and heavy-duty protective cases add flexibility and protection.
