Abstract

The counting efficiencies of 2 different types of diethylene-glycol (DEG) based Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) is described and discussed. The development of two laminar flow CPCs, sensitive in the size range below 3 nm is described. The two types used are a modified TSI 3776 laminar diffusion-type CPC operating with DEG instead of butanol (DEG-CPC) and a turbulent mixing Particle Size Magnifier (PSM) A09 from Airmodus. For each of the two types two different systems with slightly different settings have been investigated, respectively. The two laminar flow CPCs were operated at different temperature settings, where one of the mixing type systems was running at a fixed saturation ratio and therefore had a fixed cut-off diameter and the other one was opaerated in scanning mode. Various different test aerosols have been generated to obtain cut-off curves for all four different CPCs. The main focus was on measuring the counting efficiencies under well controlled laboratory conditions. Therefore a high resolution mass spectrometer was used in the setup as well.
