AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing methods for measuring aerosol concentration in ventilation ducts are either based on strong assumptions about the stationary nature of the flow and concentration over time or produce inaccurate measurements due to the use of sampling systems with bent parts that cause aerosol loss.
Method used
An aerosol sampling device comprising a straight conduit with parallel collectors, each with a nozzle, tube, and filter, connected via a vacuum pump, allowing isokinetic sampling and simultaneous measurement at multiple points without disrupting the flow.
Benefits of technology
The device provides reliable and simultaneous measurement of aerosol concentration at different points in a duct, minimizing flow disruption and ensuring accurate homogeneity assessment.

Abstract
Aerosol sampling device (1) comprising: - a conduit (3), - several collectors (5) in fluidic communication with the conduit, each collector extending along a collecting direction (A) and comprising a nozzle (7), a tube (9), a filter (10) configured to capture aerosols, a neck (12) configured to allow critical fluid flow in the collector, each tube having an inlet and an outlet and being straight between the inlet and outlet, and - a vacuum pump (14) fluidically connected to the collectors via the conduit.
