High Temperature ELPI+

The Dekati® High Temperature HR-ELPI®+ (Electrical Low Pressure Impactor, HT-ELPI®+) is a unique upgrade of the Dekati® HR-ELPI®+. The High Temperature HR-ELPI®+ allows direct measurement of up to 180 °C high temperature aerosol samples without the need to cool the sample, which makes the HT-HR-ELPI®+ a one of a kind tool to characterize high temperature aerosols. Additionally, the HT-HR-ELPI®+ has all the benefits of the Dekati® HR-ELPI®+ system including real-time standalone operation, wide sample concentration range from 6 nm up to 10 μm and robust structure for operation even in harsh conditions. The use of impactor technology enables post-measurement chemical analysis of the size classified particles. In addition, the HT-HR-ELPI®+ can be used for real-time particle charge distribution and gravimetric measurements. All these features make the HT-HR-ELPI®+ an ideal choice for characterization of high temperature aerosols.

Applications for high temperature particle measurement

High Temperature ELPI®+ is a unique instrument capable of measuring properties of high temperature aerosols without dilution or a sample conditioning unit. This enables accurate measurements without the risk of sample transformations and even when sample particle concentrations are very low. Typical applications for the HT-ELPI®+ include:

  • Combustion process studies and emission measurements
  • Development and optimization of stationary source emission cleaning devices
  • Development of engine emission after-treatment devices
  • On-board engine emission measurements
  • Blow-by gas emission measurements
  • Particle transformation studies and general particle research
