FLAME-2

(Last updated by Jose on 13-May-2007)

Objectives

1. Given the clear distinction between flaming, smoldering burns...
   • Volatility of the two
   • Elemental composition of the two (O/C, inorg/org)
2. High t-resolution from HIAPER instrument: correlation with other measurements
3. Comparison of desorber with "regular" AMS (loading, chemistry)
4. Comparison of two volatility measurements (desorber, denuder)

Instruments

ToFs

1. HIAPER instrument w/W-ToF (stack burns)
2. Aerodyne W-ToF
3. CSU W-ToF

Configuration

• Aerodyne: Li+
• CSU: denuder
• HIAPER: desorber

Power Needed

Power seems to be very tight. We have 3 x 15 A (45 A, 110 A) circuits to share between 3 AMSs and auxiliary pumps & equipment. The power demand for the instruments we plan to bring is 40 A:

• 3 AMSs (3 x 6 A = 18 A)
• a sampling pump (4 A)
• SMPS (4 A)
• atomizer pump (4A)
• thermal denuder (4 A)
• laptops for TD & valve system (2A)
• DustTrak (0.5 A)
• 4 personal laptops (4 A)
