Combustor Facilities - CE-7B
Particulate Emission Chemical Monitoring System
CE-7B
Facility Description
The Particulate Emission Chemcial Monitoring System performs real-time
physical and chemical characterization of particulate emissions
from operating turbine engines. Particulates are size-separated
with custom-designed sorting hardware, and are then directed either
into an Inductively-Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometer (ICP/MC) for
inorangic analysis at the parts-per-million level, or into a Gas
Chromatograph/Mass-Spectrometer (GC/MS) or organic analysis of absorbed
pollutants.
CE-7B
Special Features
The instrument is configured to sample experimental combustors
in nearby test cells (CE-5B-1 & CE-5B2) or local particle
sources within the cell.
