1. Introduction
The instructions also contain important information required for operation of
generator’s operation must read and understand this entire manual and become
familiar with the terminology.
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH and/or risk of FIRE.
The ATI 5D Thermal Aerosol Generator uses a heating element to vaporize liquid
generating aerosol.
into contact with enough oxygen to combust. This quenching requirement makes
an air-gap mandatory between the aerosol output and the system the aerosol is
entering for testing. The 5D has built-in air quenching holes behind the output
