CAIMAN: a versatile facility to produce aerosols of nanoparticles

摘要: This work aims at presenting a nanoparticle generation non-transportable facility in aerosol phase called CAIMAN (acronym for Characterization of Instruments Measuring Aerosols Nanoparticles) and its performances. delivers primary nanoaerosols from electrodes made C, Al, Cu (and mixtures containing Be), Ag, Constantane (a mixture Cu-55wt% Ni-45wt%) particles known concentrations, sizes, shapes mean charge levels. It is also capable to deliver well-known particle combinations the representatives background aerosols (in present NaCl). The output very consistent over long time intervals when operating under similar conditions. indicates that repeatability one important assets facility.
