High Pressure Diffuser

Product Details:

Model Name/Number	CI302 High Pressure Diffuser
Usage/Application	Pharmaceutical grade and autoclavable high pressure diffuser for viable and nonviable sampling
Brand	CLiMET INSTRUMENTS CO., USA

The High Pressure Diffuser is used when sampling compressed air or gases with Climet particle counters and microbial air samplers.

Applying compressed air or gases directly into a particle counter and microbial sampler may cause damage to the instrument (i.e., the HEPA filter). Also, with particle counters it will also cause turbulence inside the sensor that produces false high counts, and will also result in gross under-sizing of particles. Connecting high pressure gases directly to a microbial air sampler without a diffuser will result in a substantial degradation of biological efficiencies due to an extremely high impaction velocity.

The High Pressure Diffuser works by regulating the flow rate with an exhaust port to provide a path for the excess air pressure. This allows the particle counter and microbial sampler to "pull in" and regulate the flow of air or gas into the instrument.
