ABSTRACT:
An aerosol sampling device and method are disclosed having improved sample flow characteristics. Sample flowing through an inlet nozzle is heated prior to discharge from the nozzle toward a measurement area to maintain sample flow more nearly laminar by compensating for the adiabatic cooling that occurs due to acceleration of flow through the nozzle. In addition, heating of the sample flow prevents condensation which can result with ambient air having a relative humidity of fifty percent. An optical particle measuring apparatus is shown having a generator for providing a laser beam, the path of which is through a measurement area, and an inlet nozzle through which aerosol sample is injected into the measurement area, after heating in accordance with this invention, to allow operation of the laser at a relatively high Q by reducing non-laminar flow characteristics.
