ALCOSIM 1
INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT PROFILE
The ALCOSIM breath alcohol simulator is used to calibrate various breath alcohol
testers. Using an embedded electronic device with a closed loop temperature
control system, the ALCOSIM simulator generates breath flow to provide a
precise calibration standard. The simulator also uses an alcohol reference
solution, the concentration of which is very sensitive. To accurately simulate
human breath, the temperature of the water-alcohol solution used in the solution
container is maintained at 34 ºC ± 0.02 ºC.
