MicroVIC® Particle Concentrator
Increasing your system sensitivity.
The MicroVIC particle concentrators are designed with systems integrators and applications developers in mind. The MicroVIC is a virtual impactor that has been developed and optimized using computational fluid dynamics. It is unique in that it has been developed in a planar configuration, giving rise to scalability and low fabrication costs, something that cylindrical virtual impactors lack. The photo to the right shows a MicroVIC model #MVA-33A with a 33 lpm (liters per minute) inlet flow and a 3 lpm minor flow. Virtual impactors may be combined in series to enhance the concentration of desired particles. For example, two-stage models concentrate 400 lpm inlet flow to 3 lpm minor flow.
