AVL UFPM – Advanced Ultrafine Particle Monitor for Ambient Air Quality
Precision in Sub-Micron Particle Monitoring
As air quality regulations increasingly shift focus from mass-based (PM10/PM2.5) to number-based (PN) measurements, the AVL UFPM (Ultrafine Particle Monitor) stands at the forefront of aerosol technology. Developed by AVL and supported by the technical expertise of AAVOS International, this system is designed for high-sensitivity detection of ultrafine particles in ambient air.
Whether you are monitoring traffic emissions, industrial plumes, or urban background levels, the UFPM provides robust, real-time data with minimal maintenance requirements.
Key Features & Technical Advantages
Advanced Detection Technology: Utilizes high-precision condensation particle counting (CPC) or diffusion charging (DC) principles (depending on specific configuration) to detect particles down to the nanometer scale.
Continuous 24/7 Operation: Engineered for long-term deployment in stationary monitoring stations or mobile laboratories.
Compliance Ready: Designed to meet the stringent requirements of European monitoring networks and atmospheric research protocols.
Ease of Integration: Seamlessly integrates into existing data acquisition systems via standard industrial communication protocols.
Low Operational Costs: Optimized for extended service intervals, reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Applications
Urban Air Quality Networks: Measuring the impact of traffic and combustion on city air.
Industrial Perimeter Monitoring: Tracking ultrafine emissions from manufacturing and power plants.
Atmospheric Research: Providing high-resolution data for climate and health impact studies.
Workplace Exposure: Monitoring air quality in high-tech manufacturing and cleanroom environments.
