 Black Carbon Monitor Model 3130

  Specification Sheet (PDF 576K)


Continuous Soot Monitoring System (COSMOS)



Methodology
The Model 3130 changes in transmittance across an automatically advancing quartz fiber filter tape using an LED at a 565 nm wavelength. To achieve measurements with high sensitivity and a lower detectable light absorption coefficient, the Model 3130 uses a double-convex lens and optical bundle pipes to maintain high light intensity and signal data, obtained at 1000 Hz.

Applications
  • Assessment of black carbon causing health hazards in metropolitan environments
  • Creation of basic data for environmental assessment
  • Black carbon impact assessment for global warming studies
  • Impact assessment of how black carbon affects mountain and polar snow regions
  • Investigation and monitoring of black carbon diffused from remote locations

Features
  • The monitor measures black carbon concentration in the air in real time
  • Preprocessing of sample air improves measurement accuracy
  • Advanced detection sensitivity enables measurement in low concentrated areas
  • Automatic filter feed enables continuous measurements for extended periods
