Study R03
PlannedCartridge flow and service life
Under which flow, humidity, and loading conditions can a cartridge retain ethanol while allowing formaldehyde to reach the sensor?
- Method
- Transport & competitive adsorption modeling
- Summary updated
Why this study
Examine how cartridge operating conditions affect ethanol retention and formaldehyde passage to the sensor. The study would inform cartridge development and subsequent laboratory evaluation.
Proposed approach
Define the flow, humidity, and loading conditions to examine.
Model transport and competitive adsorption of ethanol and formaldehyde in the cartridge.
Map operating conditions and estimate breakthrough and service life under stated assumptions.
Intended output
Map operating conditions and estimate breakthrough and service life under stated assumptions.
Service-life and breakthrough estimates depend on the stated assumptions and require experimental verification under the intended operating conditions.
Progress updates
No study progress updates have been published yet.
