That's pretty much how all laser particle counters work... except the good ones use a fan and a chamber. Guess we'll have to wait and see how this compares to the reference sensors.
- ImaCake 1y agoYep, I suspect this is all marketing fluff and no substance. I see a lot of superlatives but no substantial technical breakthrough here.
- f1shy 1y agoI’m pretty pretty sure it is just marketing
- hakonjdjohnsen 1y agoI think there is at least some plausible interpretation of this that points to more than marketing fluff. You want to count particles per volume of air, so conventional sensors use a fan to have a constant volumetric flow and then count particles per second to infer particles per volume. The way I interpret the above marketing language is that they use the optical sensor not only to count particles but also to measure the particle movement and infer airflow. So as long as there is some natural movement in the air, they can measure both particle count and volumetric flow, and thus infer particles per volume.
- felixg3 1y agoThis is Bosch and not some random startup. It’s for sure a substantial technical breakthrough of integration, miniaturization, and if coming from Bosch, certainly enterprise and clinical-grade ready.
