[REPORT SUMMARY] Results of performance of CALTOOL in the laboratory and recommendations for positioning of samplers under test
The performance of the CALTOOL has been assessed in a set of laboratory tests. The sampling efficiency of the CALTOOL in calm air has been investigated in a large calm air chamber for a wide range of particle sizes. The results showed that the CALTOOL sampling efficiency agree...

[REPORT SUMMARY] Measurements of sampling efficiency for some commercial samplers
Measurements were conducted on two types of aerosol sampling inlet commonly used in ambient air sampling to monitor levels of pollution, the TSP inlet and the Dichot inlet. Owing to the inlet geometry and losses of particles within these inlets, the results obtained relate to ...

[REPORT SUMMARY] CFD modelling of inlet aspiration efficiency on different scales
The potential of Computational Fluid Dynamic technique has been investigated by means of a commercial CFD code coupled with an experimental one, developed for calculating particle trajectories in a given air flow field. Trajectories are calculated under both deterministic and ...
