This smoke detection module can also provide the average particle size and mass concentration information based on the dual-beam optical arrangement and algorithms for air-quality sensing applications. To evaluate the accuracy of the size and mass concentration performance, the module output is compared with an off-the-shelf laser-based particulate matter (PM) sensor during real-time particle measurement.
Figure 3-13 shows the testing setup, which includes the aerosol generator and a mixing chamber. The aerosol generator generates atomized aerosol particles with different particle sizes, which is sent to the mixing chamber after a diffusion dryer (not shown in Figure 3-13). There are two fans running in the mixing chamber to circulate and mix the air. The reference (laser-based PM sensor) and our smoke-detection module are placed at the same level in the chamber to make sure similar air samples are measured.
