TDA-6C Aerosol Generator

TDA-6C Laskin Nozzle Aerosol Generator


Printable Specification Sheet

Description

The TDA-6C features several improvements including rugged stainless steel construction, large fill port, jet and pressure control, and a 3" standard sanitary fitting outlet. An optional hose adapter, part # 9300100, is available for introducing the aerosol into positive pressure systems.

The TDA-6C is the latest design in rugged, lightweight Laskin nozzle generators from ATI. The TDA-6C is a self-contained aerosol generator that requires only a suitable voltage source to create polydispersed sub-micron oil aerosol.

Features

The TDA-6C has 6 Laskin nozzle jets (Equivalent to 1-1/2 Type III-A Laskin nozzles). When its total output at 20 psig is diluted by 200 cfm of air, the aerosol concentration is approximately 100 ug/l. A valve permits the unit to be operated with either 2 jets (1/2 nozzle) or 6 nozzle jets (1-1/2 nozzles), providing a wide range of aerosol concentrations.

The TDA-6C is recommended for testing systems with airflows of 2,000 cfm and lower. It is ideal for workstations, Negative Pressure Filtration Units, biosafety cabinets, ceiling modules, small or portable cleanrooms, or HEPA filter units in installations where an adequate supply of clean, compressed air is not readily available.

TDA-6C Aerosol output calculation
The TDA-6C includes a total of 1-1/2 Laskin nozzles. Each "full" nozzle consists of four jets located at the nozzle tip, for a total of six jets. The aerosol concentration depends on the compressed air pressure and flow available for consumption by the nozzle. With 20 psig applied, each jet emits 18.75 slpm of air containing 1,275 ug/l of aerosol. When this aerosol is diluted with 135 cfm of air, the aerosol concentration becomes approximately 25 micrograms per liter. The equation below is for purposes of calculating the aerosol output in micrograms per liter (ug/l) when 20 psig is applied to the nozzle jets.

Total airflow (CFM)

NOTE: If more than 20 psig is used, the output concentration will increase and, conversely, if less than 20 psig is used, the output concentration will decrease.
