Development and validation of a THermAL Regulated AtMOspheric Simulation Chamber (THALAMOS)
Résumé
Environmental chambers, also known as atmospheric or smog chambers, are unique tools for investigating crucial atmospheric processes in the gas and heterogeneous phases; they are supposed to provide a controlled but realistic environment, aiming at simulating atmospheric conditions without any meteorological or emissive impact that occurs in the real atmosphere. Since the development of the first environmental chambers, 1,2 back in the mid-1980s, several small to largescale facilities have been developed worldwide. Along the past 4 decades, environmental chambers have been widely used to study (i) gas phase reactions, from kinetics and reaction pathway point of view, (ii) secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation, and (iii) nucleation phenomena, etc. Nevertheless, till today, most of the studies in smog chambers have been conducted close to ambient temperature and dry conditions, although T and RH are crucial parameters that can deeply influence the physicochemical phenomena.
