AIR ASPIRATION AND CIRCULATION
The CIP10 includes a rotating cup equipped with polyurethane foam, mount-
ed on the shaft of the motor turning at high-speed, inside an enclosure that
has an axial air inlet and a tangential air outlet. The rotation of the cassette
formed that way generates airflow by a fan-like effect and assures the cap-
ture of the aerosol fraction previously selected by the selector placed
upstream of the system. The motor operates on batteries and its speed is set
by an electrical control circuit. The flow rate is linearly related to the rotation
speed.
The air is drawn in through an omnidi-
rectional sampling inlet formed by the
body of the selector itself and the pro-
tective cap. Inside the selector it fol-
lows a more or less complex path
depending upon the desired particle
selection. The unwanted fraction is
stopped. The selected aerosol fraction
next passes through polyurethane
foam. The particles remaining in sus-
pension after selection are captured
and the filtered air is returned to the
atmosphere by the tangential orifice of
the rotating cup’s enclosure.
SPECIFICS OF THE CIP 10 M
The CIP 10 M ’s rotating cup has hori-
zontal blades, on the upper part,
which generate a flow by the centrifu-
gal fan effect. The friction of the air
with the vertical faces of the liquid
contained in the liquid cup and with
the other faces generates a low-pres-
sure area to direct the airflow towards
the collection liquid. This way the
aspirated airflow follows a helicoidal
movement to gently place the living
cells on the fluid and guarantee their
viability.
