Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for monitoring particles and especially to an apparatus as defined in the preamble of independent claim 1 .
- Fine particles are formed in many industrial processes and combustion processes. Furthermore, fine particles exist in breathing air flowing in ducts and ventilation systems and in room spaces. For various reasons these fine particles are measured. The fine particle measurements may be conducted because of their potential health effects and also for monitoring operation of industrial processes and combustion processes. The fine particles are also measured in ventilation systems for monitoring air quality. Another reason for monitoring fine particles is the increasing use and production of nanosized particles in industrial processes. The above reasons generate a need for reliable fine particle measurement equipments and methods.
- One prior art method and apparatus for measuring fine particles is described in document WO2009109688 A1 . In this prior art method clean, essentially particle free, gas is supplied into the apparatus and directed as a main flow via an inlet chamber to an ejector provided inside the apparatus.
- the clean gas is further ionized before and during supplying it into the inlet chamber.
- the ionized clean gas may be preferably fed to the ejector at a sonic or close to sonic speed.
- the ionizing of the clean gas may be carried out for example using a corona charger.
- the inlet chamber is further provided with a sample inlet arranged in fluid communication with a channel or a space comprising aerosol having fine particles.
- the clean gas flow and the ejector together cause suction to the sample inlet such that a sample aerosol flow is formed from the duct or the space to the inlet chamber.
- the sample aerosol flow is thus provided as a side flow to the ejector.
- the ionized clean gas charges the particles.
- the charged particles may be further conducted back to the duct or space containing the aerosol.
- the fine particles of the aerosol sample are thus monitored by monitoring the electrical charge carried by the electrically charged particles.
- Free ions may removed further be removed using an ion trap.
- the application does not describe using a double-faraday cage construction in the device and does not say anything on the materials of the sensor chamber and the outer chamber.
- the figures of the application are principle drawings (page 7) and cannot be interpreted in a wider context than what is written in the description.
- One important demand for the fine particle monitoring apparatuses is reliable operation and efficient operation. It has been discovered that one problem of the prior art fine particle measurement apparatuses is a quick and consistent response to variations in measurement properties or in the monitored aerosol.
- the time response is rather slow. Furthermore, in the prior art non-collective particle measurement apparatuses the time response is usually dependent on surrounding conditions, especially in cases where the measurements are conducted by measuring electrical current escaping from the apparatus. Thus the time response may vary in different applications and measurement conditions.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus so as to overcome or at least alleviate the prior art disadvantages.
- the objects of the present invention are achieved with an apparatus according to the characterizing portion of claim 1 .
- the apparatus is based on the idea of providing an apparatus for electrically monitoring particles in an aerosol in non-collective manner.

- the sensor housing and the outer housing are formed from electrically conductive material.
- the sensor housing is further electrically separated from the outer housing.
- the sensor housing is arranged to receive a sample aerosol flow from outside the outer housing and to electrically monitor particles in the sample aerosol flow.
- the sensor housing and the outer housing are formed as faraday cages, and especially nested faraday cages.
- the apparatus may further comprise a first insulation arrangement for electrically insulating sensor housing from the outer housing.
- the apparatus may also comprise an intermediate space provided between the outer housing and the sensor housing for further separating the outer housing the sensor housing electrically from each other.
- the measurement space inside the sensor housing is separated from the surrounding environment and atmosphere with two inside each other arranged housings formed from electrically conductive material.
- These nested housings are thus formed as faraday cages such that the measurement space inside the sensor housing is separated from the environment and atmosphere with the two nested faraday cages. All the supplies into the inner sensor housing are lead from outer side of the outer housing and through the both faraday cages.
- the sensor housing is connected to virtual ground and the outer housing is connected to real ground.
- the real ground means in this context the Earth, the system ground or the ground of the entire apparatus.
- the apparatus is thus arranged to measure current escaping from inside the sensor housing through the intermediate space between the sensor housing and the outer housing and out of the outer housing and apparatus.
- the present invention has the advantage that the outer housing connected to real ground is used to provide fixed time response for the apparatus.
- the distance and flow conditions between the sensor housing and the outer housing is fixed which enables the time response to be also fixed or constant. Therefore, the present invention removes or at least alleviates variations in the time response.
- the outer housing may also be arranged such that time response of the apparatus is minimized. The present invention enables to provide minimized and constant time response.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of the structure of the apparatus according to the present invention.
- FIGS. 2A and 2B schematically show the time response of prior art apparatuses and the apparatus of the present invention ;

- the apparatus is arranged to operate in non-collective measurement mode in which a sample aerosol flow is taken into the sensor housing B and further exhausted from the apparatus without collecting the aerosol particles of the sample aerosol flow.
- the apparatus may be arranged at least partly inside the measurement space or it may be provided in fluid connection with the measurement space such that the sample aerosol flow may be taken in from the measurement space and exhausted back to the measurement space or another space.
- the apparatus further comprises a control assemble 30, schematically shown in figure 1 .

- the prior art apparatus comprises a sensor housing from which the electrically charged particles are exhausted.
- the apparatus detects the current I escaping from the sensor housing until the finds a real ground from the surroundings. At time moment T1 a particle is electrically charged inside the sensor housing and at time moment T2 the charged particles is exhausted from the sensor housing.
- the measurement apparatus detects the current I escaping from the apparatus together with the particle.
- the apparatus detects this escaping current I of the particle as far as the electrostatic field generated by the particle has an essential strength on the surface of the sensor housing.
- the weakening of the corresponding field flux takes place gradually and is affected by the dimensions and geometry of the conductive surfaces and flow conditions around the sensor.
- T3 represents a time moment, when the current has reached some negligible level. The time between T2 and T3 thus defines the time response of the apparatus. In this kind of prior art apparatus the time response varies depending on the flow conditions and surroundings of the apparatus.
- Figure 2B shows the time response of the present invention.
- the measurement apparatus detects the current I escaping from the sensor housing together with the particle. The apparatus detects this escaping current I of the particle until the particle reaches the outer housing at time moment T3'.
- the apparatus does not detect the electrical charge, and current, carried by the particle as the outer housing forms a faraday cage. Therefore, the time response of the apparatus according to the present invention is defined by the distance and flow field between the sensor housing and the outer housing.
