The proposed diluter utilizes a very small fraction of the exhaust gas, sampled through a capillary duct, simply immersed to the exhaust flow, which is otherwise freely exhausting to the atmosphere. The sample flowrate through the capillary is achieved by maintaining a regulated underpressure at the capillary outlet. The diluted exhaust is then collected in a stabilization chamber, where temperature, humidity and residence time may be adjusted to condition the collected aerosol at will. Multiple capillaries and stabilization chambers may be cascaded to increase the dilution ratios. After the final dilution stage, particle samples may be collected on a filter for gravimetric determination or analyzed by number counters, surface monitors or any other technique utilized for the physical or chemical characterization of particles. In a preferred embodiment the capillary duct is realized with a hypodermic needle and two cascaded hypodermic needles/stabilization chambers are combined to provide the desired dilution ratio. In another embodiment, exhaust gas may be led to the diluter's capillary duct by means of two probes, located respectively upstream and downstream of any aftertreatment device, which needs to be characterized. By means of shut-off valves, exhaust gas may be fed to the diluter's capillary by either the upstream or the downstream probe, thus providing an estimate of the filtration efficiency of the device. | 2010-03-11 |
