Thermodenuder TDD 590 Applications

 Particle measurements in hot exhaust gases
The Model TDD 590 thermodenuder is designed to  Separation of vaporous phases off hot aerosols
remove moisture and volatile particles from an
 Removing volatile particles and precursors
aerosol sample for the subsequent measurement
from aerosol sample
of dry particle size.
 Aerosol research
There are a lot of industrial applications the  Emissions from direct heating boilers
particle size distribution of hot gases is interesting  Biomass burning
for.
The specification of many particle size measuring
instruments does not allow analysing gas with high
temperatures which required a cooling of the To Filling neck for From

sample. When cooling takes place condensation particle active carbon
sizer line
processes will occur and volatile particles can be
formed by nucleation. Both processes produce
particles or change particle size of solid
compounds in the gas by heterogeneous
condensation on particle surfaces. So results of Adsorption tube
Heater with
particle measurements include a systematic error. (volatile compounds temperature

For avoiding such measuring errors active carbon) (up to 400°C)

thermodenuders are used. By regulating the Principle of Thermodenuder TDD 590

sample temperature such devices enable reducing
moisture as well as volatile particles in the sample
aerosol flow. Thus condensation processes during
cooling down are widely prevented.

Volatile particles completely evaporate in the
heating section. Hereby volatile particles are
defined as particles evaporating during the
residence time inside the thermodenuder at the
pre-set temperature. Adsorbents in the aerosol
diffuse to the surface of the active carbon due to
the different concentration of the adsorbents
between the volume with carbon and the gas.

As a result only solid particles are left in the

aerosol. The TDD 590 thermodenuder operates
with minimal loss as the particles never come in
direct contact with the active carbon.
