Abstract

A new particle size magnifier (PSM) for detection of nano-CN as small as ∼1 nm in mobility diameter was developed, calibrated and tested in atmospheric measurements. The working principle of a PSM is to mix turbulently cooled sample flow with heated clean air flow saturated by the working fluid. This provides a high saturation ratio for the working fluid and activates the seed particles and grows them by condensation of the working fluid. In order to reach high saturation ratios, and thus to activate nano-CN without homogeneous nucleation, diethylene glycol was chosen as the working fluid. The PSM was able to grow nano-CN to mean diameter of 90 nm, after which an ordinary condensation particle counter was used to count the grown particles (TSI 3010). The stability of the PSM was found to be good making it suitable for stand-alone field measurements. Calibration results show that the detection efficiency of the prototype PSM + TSI 3010 for charged tetra-alkyl ammonium salt molecules having mobility equivalent diameters of 1.05, 1.47, 1.78, and 2.57 nm are 25, 32, 46, and 70%, respectively. The commercial version of the PSM (Airmodus A09) performed even better in the smallest sizes the detection efficiency being 51% for 1.47 nm and 67% for 1.78 nm.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
