pollution of concentrations of 2-propanone unknown to them by making
comparison with the milestones. On the third, fourth and fifth days, training
includes 2- propanone concentrations and other sources of pollution. Since
the pollutants have different characters to 2-propanone it is of great importance
that the subjects understand that they are exposed to the intensity by
comparing the intensity of the milestones. Up to 12 different concentrations
of pollutants are presented each training day.
After the evaluation of each unknown concentration of 2-propanone, the
panel member is given the correct answer and their performance is discussed
with the experiment leader. The panel members write their votes on a form
where it is possible to follow their performance during the training. Panel
members are submitted to a test similar to the selection test at the end of the
third and fifth training days. If they do not succeed, they should either quit
the panel or train for two additional days.
Experimental day
On each experimental day, the panel members are retrained for approximately
15–20 minutes per group of three to four people. During this training the panel
members are exposed to two or three different concentrations of 2-propanone
and two different materials, on which they receive feedback.
Also on each experimental day, the panel members are exposed to six
different concentrations of 2-propanone corresponding to the values 1, 3, 7,
12, 16 and 19. The concentrations of 2-propanone should be meas ured just
before the sensory assessments of each group of panel members. These expo-
sures make it possible to compare different sensory panels and to calculate
performance factors.
The panel members are placed in a well-ventilated waiting room. During
each round of assessments, one by one the subjects assess the intensity of the
perceived air pollution of the air sample (fro m a material in a PAP meter, in
a walk-in climate chamber, air from a ventilation system and so on) by
making comparison with the intensity of the milestones. The panel members
are allowed to go back and forth between the milestones and the polluted air
sample. The members write down their assessment on a voti ng sheet , which
is handed to the experiment leader before making the next assessment.
The time between assessments or each panel member should not be less
than three minutes. An experienced panel member can assess an air sample
within 30–45 seconds. With a panel of 12 subjects the time between assessments
for a panel member will be approximately nine minutes, and for a group of four
panel members three minutes.
Contaminant transport in rotating heat exchangers
Principle of the method
A heated VOC mix is injected in the extract duct (star in Figure 6.10), in such a
way that the VOCs are well evaporated and mixed into the air at location C
