Water-based condensation particle counters for environmental monitoring of ultrafine particles.(TECHNICAL PAPER)

From: Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association | Date: April 1, 2006| Author: | Copyright information

ABSTRACT

TSI Inc. (Shoreview, MN) has introduced three new water-based condensation particle counters (WCPCS) that were designed to detect airborne particles larger than 2.5 nm (model 3786), 5 nm (model 3785), and either 10 or 20 nm (model 3782). These WCPCs are well suited for real-time, environmental monitoring of number concentration of airborne ultrafine particles. Their unique design incorporates the use of water as the working fluid instead of alcohol. Water is odor free, readily available, and eliminates the problem of water condensation and absorption into alcohol ...
