Cost-Effective
Save time and money in the most demanding multi-filter cleanroom installations. In high-volume HEPA and ULPA airflow environments, the 5D can significantly reduce the time it takes to conduct filter leak test scans, generating aerosol concentrations that can challenge the largest Air Handling Unit (AHU) configurations. With 1- to 2-minute warmup and cool-down times, begin testing high-flow systems without waiting, and be ready to store and move the unit minutes after the job is complete.
Rugged Portability
The 5D components are housed in a stainless-steel enclosure designed to withstand the rigors of portable filtration system certification. Its lightweight, slim profile and supplied hand and shoulder straps make it an everyday, portable aerosol generator.
Flexible
Generating the widest aerosol concentration range available, the 5D accommodates both high- and low-flow environments, from cabinets1 to the most demanding cleanroom installations. And with flex-fuel capability, the 5D can use the following reagents, including DOP (DEHP), PAO-4, DOS (DEHS), Ondina EL, or mineral oil.2
Safe and Reliable
An innovative design minimizing system thermal requirements provides a faster, simpler, and safer alternative to other available solutions. The 5D is certified to comply with all applicable electrical and safety requirements, including CE and RoHS 2 standards.
1 Per NSF/ANSI 49, use 4B/6D Laskin-Nozzle generators for biosafety cabinet testing.
2 Paraffin oil and corn oil should not be used with a thermal generator.

Heavy-Duty Transport Case
Heavy-Duty Transport Case combines 5D, carrying straps, hose adapter, and inert gas regulator.
Inert Gas Regulator Assembly
Four single-stage regulators are available to connect your 5D to an inert gas source – the CA 320 for CO2, CA 580 for N2, Ar or He, BS341 #8 for CO2 and BS341 #3 for N2.
Hose Adapter Assembly
Provides an easy method to adapt hose sizes ranging from 50.8 mm (2 in.) to 25.4 mm (1 in.) ID to your equipment.
Accessories for In-situ Testing
Positive Injection Pump (PIP)
A Positive Injection Pump can be used to inject the aerosol output of the 5D into a positive pressure duct or plenum. Learn how ATI’s Positive Injection Pump (PIP) is used to deliver the precise aerosol required for your filter testing needs.
Aerosol Injection Ports
Fixed aerosol injection ports can be easily installed to a ceiling duct in a cleanroom or an adjoining room that feeds the cleanroom. Learn more about aerosol injection ports.
Sparge Pipes
Improves the testing of clean air cabinets, safety cabinets, Isolators, and any installed HEPA filter where the distance between the point of aerosol injection and the filter is short, and upstream challenge measurement shows poor mixing. Learn more about ATI’s sparge pipe kit.
