TRACER DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CHARACTERIZING EFFECTIVENESS OF AIR REMOVAL IN AN AEROSOL ZONE

One variation of a method includes, during execution of a tracer test: triggering release of a tracer load into air in an aerosol zone by a dispenser transiently arranged in the aerosol zone, the tracer load including a concentration of aerosol tracers; and recording a timeseries of aerosol data via...

Zusammenfassung:	One variation of a method includes, during execution of a tracer test: triggering release of a tracer load into air in an aerosol zone by a dispenser transiently arranged in the aerosol zone, the tracer load including a concentration of aerosol tracers; and recording a timeseries of aerosol data via a sensor unit transiently arranged in the aerosol zone, the timeseries of aerosol data representing concentrations of aerosol particles present in air. The method further includes: based on the timeseries of aerosol data and the concentration, deriving a tracer concentration curve representing change in concentration of aerosol tracer particles; based on characteristics of the tracer concentration curve, deriving an airflow value representing removal of aerosol particles from the aerosol zone during the tracer test; and interpreting an outcome for the tracer test based on a difference between the airflow value and a target airflow value defined for the aerosol zone.
