AGF 2.0 D

Pressure-resistant version up to 10 barg overpressure

•    Pressure-resistant up to 10 barg overpressure
•    Exact adjustment of the operating parameters
•    Number concentration (CN) can be varied by the factor 10
•    Particle size distribution remains virtually constant, if CN is modified
•    Number distribution maximum is within the MPPS range
•    Virtually no power losses
•    Optimal concentration, no coagulation losses
•    Resistant to numerous acids, bases and solvents
•    Robust design, stainless steel housing
•    Easy to operate
•    As opposed to the collision method, the AGF 2.0 does not generate any particles > 2 µm thanks to its cyclone.
•    Due to the fact that the AGF generates virtually no droplets > 2 µm, the consumption of materials is very low, thus ensuring a long dosing time.

Description

Unlike the AGF 2.0, the AGF 2.0 D is pressure-resistant up to 10 bar positive pressure and is thus able to be used for applications with an absolute pressure value of up to 11 bar, e.g. to test compressed air filters and optical flow measurement procedures with positive pressure values of up to 10 bar.

The AGF series aerosol generators are able to atomize liquids with a binary nozzle. Fig. 2 presents a schematic arrangement of the AGF 2.0 D generator components:

The AGF 2.0 D comprises an adjustable binary nozzle for adjustment of the desired mass flow and a cyclone with a cut-off of 2 µm. As a result, virtually no particles > 2 µm are generated.

Startup

Compressed air is supplied to a binary nozzle. The primary pressure on the nozzle is able to be adjusted to between 0 and 10 bar above the ambient pressure The volume flow through the AGF 2.0 D should be determined using a pressure-tight flow meter. The volume flow must be between 12 and 22 L/min. The negative pressure in the nozzle suctions the liquid to be atomized from a reservoir, while the volume flow of this liquid is able to be adjusted using a needle valve that is incorporated into the nozzle.
