EcoEmiScan – Efficiency-enhancing and resource-saving solutions for test chamber systems for emissions analysis
Building products can release volatile organic compounds that can be harmful to those affected. For the commercial use of these products, the suitability of these emissions must be measured. The analyses for measuring these emissions are carried out in a test chamber. Sampling is done manually and the chambers must be thoroughly cleaned between each measurement to ensure acceptable background levels. There are two common methods for cleaning the chambers: thermal treatment and manual cleaning. Both manual sampling and manual cleaning are very tedious and cumbersome, resulting in a very inefficient use of the chambers.
