    The number of active jets can also be adjusted before or during use. Note For the protection of the user and the equipment, the 6D is equipped with a overpressure relief valve. At excessively high pressure settings, the valve may vent excess flow to prevent pressure buildup, resulting in a loud, pulsing noise.

  • Page 29: Appendix C Aerosol Output Calculation

    APPENDIX C Aerosol Output Calculation Laskin Nozzle Jet Aerosol Output Calculation This model allows selection of either 2 or 6 Laskin nozzle jets using the “Jet Control” valve. The aerosol concentration produced is dependent upon the nozzle pressure, the chosen aerosol reagent and the volume of air used to dilute the raw aerosol produced. The equation below is intended for calculating the aerosol concentration when required and assumes a nozzle pressure of either 20 psi for DOP (DEHP) or 23 psi for PAO-4.
