SWAM 5a Dual Channel Monitor
SWAM 5a Dual Channel Monitor inherits the extraordinary versatility of HYDRA Dual Sampler for sampling and revolutionizes the implementation of the mass measurement technique, reaching levels of precision defining it the ideal candidate for automatic reference methods for PMx measurement.
Applications
- MONITOR Mode for the simultaneous sampling on two independent lines with associated mass measurement and possibility of drawing samples with different granulometric cut sizes (for example PM10 and PM2.5 or PM2.5 and PM1) High quality standard
- REFERENCE Mode using one of the two sampling lines as auxiliary line to achieve particularly high metrological goals
- HOURLY MODE (hourly) measurement of mass hourly concentration through a specific application of the BETA technology. Measurement of the BETA activity associated with the Radon decay products, for the evaluation of the degree of mixing of the PBL.
Benefits
Measurement range of Swam 5A Dual Channel Monitor: is 0-10000 ug/m3 (as per measuring range described in EN 16450) and the instrument has the possibility to increase the measurement range up to 50000 ug/m3 according to the customer request and using dedicated instrumental configuration (see “Specifications Swam dc _1 document” in special application description pag.2 )
Main Features
- Total compliance with general technical indications present in national and international regulations regarding the instruments for air quality control for suspended particulate matter
- High quality standard of representative suspended PMx sampling phase (measurement of all physical parameters characterizing the sampling phase, operating flow rate control at sampling inlet level, automatic control of the flow rate measurement system calibration, automatic control of the presence and entity of pneumatic circuit losses, etc.)
- High quality standard of the PMx samples mass determination phase, thanks to an innovative implementation of the ß technique, International Patent Pending, that uses a unique integral source+detector system and ancillary measures on “spy filters” (estimation and removal of the possible biases associated with the ß measurement)
- High autonomy of operation without operator intervention thanks to the automatic management of a large number of filter membranes (up to 96)
- Complete instrumental management also through remote connection (data acquisition, electronic and mechanical diagnostics of the instrumentation and remote assistance), with the possibility of automatic sending of SMS (concentration data and main diagnostic information)
- High quality standard in the realization of servomechanisms for the automatic management of sampling cycles (real-time acquisition of the parameters that characterize the individual mechanical movements and related quality controls)
