Pegasor portable particle counter from FinlandOverview

Pegasor portable particle counter from FinlandPPC is a portable particle counter used for measuring the concentration of ultrafine particulate matter in engine exhaust and other combustion emission sources,

PPC was originally designed for the application of New Periodic Technical Inspection (nPTI) in Europe,

It meets the measurement requirements for particulate matter concentration in vehicle exhaust specified in all European nPTI regulations.

The newly updated and upgraded PPC system includes additional features, making it highly suitable for any ultra-fine particulate matter emission monitoring application,

The improved features include particle number concentration (PN), particle mass concentration (PM), lung deposition surface area (LDSA), and particle size.

The fastest measurement frequency of 10Hz and several data communication options. The entire instrument is easy to operate and has low maintenance costs, even in harsh environments,

Reliable results can also be obtained.

Measuring principle

The Finnish Pekkasol PPC is a portable device used to measure the concentration of ultrafine particles in the air of emission sources such as engine exhaust pipes or combustion processes.

PPC is equipped with a sturdy, durable, and low maintenance PPS-G2 sensor that can detect particle quantity, particle mass, and LDSA concentration,

And the median size of particulate matter. The PPS-G2 sensor combines a jet pump and a diffusion charger through an integrated VPR

After the volatile particle remover, the sample particles are charged in an ionized air driven injector, and after ionization, the electrostatic trap removes excess ions,

Simultaneously utilizing the electric mobility of particles for rapid sizing. When particles leave the sensor, their current is measured by a sensitive electrostatic meter,

This combination of current and size information can accurately determine the quantity, mass, and LDSA concentration of particulate matter.
