Making every particle count

HPM Series Particulate Matter Sensors

The HPM Series is designed to help improve the air in every breath you take. Engineered for excellent accuracy and long life, the HPM Series detects airborne particulates to within ±15% accuracy (PM2.5) and delivers a 10 year service life. Both ensure the HPM Series maximizes system performance, extends system life and reduces overall system costs so you can rest easy with the air you’re breathing.

DID YOU KNOW that airborne particulates less than 10 µm in diameter are smaller than the diameter of a human hair? Without detection and remediation, particulates will remain suspended in the air and can have a negative impact on human health. Particles 10 µm in diameter include dust, pollen grains, and mold spores, all of which can enter and get lodged into the lungs. Particles less than 2.5 µm in diameter include smoke, smog, bacteria, fine dust and liquid droplets. These particles can get lodged deeper into the lungs, causing longer term illness.*

PM10 Dust, pollen, mold (10 µm dia.)

PM2.5 Smoke, smog, bacteria (2.5 µm dia.)

HPM SERIES OPERATION (TOP DOWN VIEW)

Engineered for excellent accuracy, the HPM Series employs a laser-based sensing approach that detects airborne particulates with incredible accuracy.

The HPM Series operates in four key steps:

  1. The fan at the air outlet draws the air in through the air inlet.
  2. The air sample passes through the laser beam where the light reflected off the particles is captured and analyzed.
  3. The photoelectric converter processes the signal into particle size and density.
  4. The signal is transmitted to the micro control unit (MCU) where a proprietary algorithm processes the data and supplies outputs for the density of the particulate (µg/m3).
