Pm2.5 sensor four working principles and introduction of imported brands

The working and mining network Xiao Bian starts from the principle and introduces the current universal use of the PM2.5 sensor, comprehensive evaluation of imported brands, convenient integration and selection

Principle introduction:

Light scattering method

Principles of light scattering are LED light (ordinary optics), lasers, etc. The sensor can effectively detect particles with a particle size of about 0.5 μm or more. Light scattering methods have relatively low reliability at this time. However, due to the light scattering principle, the probe is relatively inexpensive. , The probe is easy to install, use, relatively suitable as a monitoring application, has more advantages than other principles, and the application provider selects better quality, and relatively stable and sensitive probe, the reliability of data is greatly increased! Currently, the light scattering method is widely used in the market and is a better choice for PM2.5 monitoring.

2, weight method

At present, the gravimetric method is mainly used for the determination of atmospheric particles in China. The principle is to use a sampler with certain cutting characteristics to extract a fixed volume of air at a constant speed, so that the PM2.5 and PM10 in the ambient air are trapped on the known quality of the filter, according to the difference in the quality of the filter before and after sampling. Sample volume, calculate the concentration of PM2.5 and PM10. It must be noted that the volume of the denominator in the unit of ug/m3 for the measurement of particulate matter should be the volume under standard conditions (0°C, 101.3 kPa), and the volume under measured temperature and pressure should be converted to the volume under standard conditions.

The sampling environment and sampling frequency in ambient air monitoring shall be in accordance with the requirements of HJ.T194. The sampling and cutting device of the PM10 continuous automatic monitor is generally designed as a cyclone type. It has a collection efficiency of 50% for particles with a particle size of 10 um in the air at a prescribed flow rate, and the following is a technical performance index table.

3, micro-oscillation balance method

The TEOM micro-oscillation balance method uses an oscillating hollow conical tube in the mass sensor, with a replaceable filter attached to the oscillating end. The frequency of oscillation depends on the conical tube characteristics and its mass. When the sampling air flow passes through the filter membrane, the particulate matter is deposited on the filter membrane. The mass change of the filter membrane causes the oscillation frequency to change. The mass of the particulate matter deposited on the membrane is calculated by the change of the oscillation frequency, and then the flow rate, the ambient temperature and the The air pressure calculates the mass concentration of the particulate mark during this period.

The micro-oscillation balance particle monitoring instrument consists of a PM10 sampling head, a PM2.5 cutter, a dynamic membrane filtration system, a sampling pump, and an instrument host. The flow rate of 1m3/h ambient air sample passes through the PM10 sampling head and the PM2.5 cutter and becomes a particulate sample gas that meets the technical requirements. The sample then enters a micro-oscillating balance analyzer host equipped with a membrane dynamic measurement system (FDMS). The micro-oscillating balance sensor for measuring the sample mass in the main unit is a hollow cone with a fixed end and a filter at the other end. The tube, sample gas flow through the filter, particulate matter is collected on the filter. In operation, the hollow conical tube is in a state of oscillating oscillating. Its oscillating frequency changes with the mass of the particulate matter collected on the membrane. The instrument obtains the mass of the collected particulate by accurately measuring the frequency change, and then collects The concentration of the sample is calculated from the sample volume collected at these particles.

4, Beta ray / beta ray method

The beta ray meter uses the principle of Beta ray attenuation. The ambient air is drawn into the sampling tube by the sampling pump, discharged through the filtration membrane, and the particulates are deposited on the filter membrane. When the beta ray passes through the membrane that deposits the particles, the Beta ray energy Attenuation, through the determination of the amount of attenuation can be calculated particle concentration.

Beta ray particle monitoring instrument consists of PM10 sampling head, PM2.5 cutter, sample dynamic heating system, sampling pump and instrument host. The ambient air sample with a flow rate of 1 m3/h passes through the PM10 sampling head and the PM2.5 cutter to become a particulate sample gas that meets the technical requirements. In the sample dynamic heating system, the relative humidity of the sample gas is adjusted to below 35%. After the sample enters the instrument host, the particles are collected on the filter that can be replaced automatically. A Beta ray source and a Beta ray detector were installed on both sides of the filter in the instrument. As the sample collection progresses, more and more particles are collected on the filter, and the mass of the particles increases. At this time, the Beta ray detected by the Beta Detector will weaken accordingly. Because the Beta-ray detector's output signal can directly reflect the mass change of the particles, the instrument finally calculates the particle concentration during the sampling period by analyzing the particle mass value of the Beta-ray detector and combining the sample volume collected within the same time period. When equipped with a membrane dynamics measurement system, the instrument can accurately measure particulates that are volatilized during this process, allowing the final report data to be effectively compensated, which is close to a straight real value.
