[Aerosol concentration and heat transfer by radiation (author's transl)].

Aerosols are able to influence the heat delivery of the human body. The influence of aerosols of various concentrations on the infrared radiation exchange of a solid with its environment is theoretically and experimentally investigated at a room climatic model. The heat delivery by infrared radiation of the solid is impaired for about 6% only by the saturated water vapour independent from the aerosol concentration. The influence of the particles on the radiation exchange is a function of the aerosol concentration and leads to a hindering of the heat delivery too. At a concentration of N approximately equal to 10(12) m--3 the heat delivery by radiation is diminished altogether for about 12%.

[Air humidity and their influence on concentration changes of spray fluid in aerosol generators (author's transl)].

With the fine dispersion of aqueous solutions concentration changes in the basic solution are occuring. These changes are basically dependent on the rate of air flow and the saturation deficit which is present between the air at the entry to the aerosol generator and its exit. Above all with compressed gases which are used in production of nozzle aerosols the deficit and with it the concentration change is large. But on ultrasonic generators this effect is to be observed too. Under normal manufacturing conditions a concentration increase in the spray solution occurs. Conditions resulting in a concentration decrease can rarely be expected.
