FINE DUST MEASUREMENT MODULE AND FINE DUST MEASUREMENT DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18375289 titled 'FINE DUST MEASUREMENT MODULE AND FINE DUST MEASUREMENT DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a fine dust measurement module that includes a fluid inlet for introducing a fluid containing fine dust, two channels for different sizes of fine dust to pass through, a fine dust detection sensor, a heater, and an orifice.

  • Fluid inlet for introducing fluid with fine dust
  • Two channels for different sizes of fine dust to pass through
  • Fine dust detection sensor for sensing fine dust in the second channel
  • Heater located above the fine dust detection sensor
  • Orifice upstream of the flow of fine dust from the sensor and heater

Potential Applications

The technology can be used in air quality monitoring systems, industrial processes, environmental monitoring, and research laboratories.

Problems Solved

The technology helps in accurately measuring and detecting different sizes of fine dust particles in a fluid stream, providing valuable data for pollution control and health monitoring.

Benefits

- Improved accuracy in fine dust measurement - Real-time monitoring capabilities - Enhanced environmental and health safety measures

Potential Commercial Applications

"Fine Dust Measurement Module for Air Quality Monitoring Systems"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of similar sensors and heaters in air quality monitoring devices to detect particulate matter in the air.

Unanswered Questions

How does the technology handle variations in fine dust concentration in the fluid stream?

The patent application does not provide details on how the module adjusts to different levels of fine dust in the fluid stream. This could be crucial for accurate measurements in real-world applications.

What is the expected lifespan of the fine dust detection sensor and heater in the module?

The patent application does not mention the durability or maintenance requirements of the sensor and heater components, which could impact the long-term usability and cost-effectiveness of the technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A fine dust measurement module includes a fluid inlet through which a fluid including fine dust is introduced, a first channel through which first fine dust having at least a first diameter, among the fine dust introduced into the fluid inlet, passes, a second channel through which second fine dust having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter, among the fine dust introduced into the fluid inlet, passes, a fine dust detection sensor for sensing fine dust flowing into the second channel, a heater above the fine dust detection sensor, and an orifice upstream of a flow of the second fine dust from the fine dust detection sensor and the heater.
