Abstract
In a hydrogen cooled dynamoelectric machine, an ion chamber detector monitors thermally produced particulates. The sensitivity of the ion chamber detector is improved by incorporating a particulate enhancement section upstream from the ion chamber detector. The particulate enhancement section has included therein a platinum surface over which the gaseous carrier flows increasing the number of submicron particulates entrained in the gaseous carrier.
