Effect of convergence angle on impactor performance

Two nozzles, modified and original, were tested in a sampler that was placed in a wind tunnel and penetration efficiencies, √Stk50, and slope of the performance curve were determined by challenging the sampler with fluorescent-tagged monodisperse test aerosol particles having known concentration. It...

Zusammenfassung:Two nozzles, modified and original, were tested in a sampler that was placed in a wind tunnel and penetration efficiencies, √Stk50, and slope of the performance curve were determined by challenging the sampler with fluorescent-tagged monodisperse test aerosol particles having known concentration. It was shown that a change in convergence angle of the modified nozzle can affect impactor performance. The √Stk50 for original and modified nozzles were 0.57 and 0.49, respectively. The slope of the efficiency curve for original and modified nozzles was 1.52 and 1.36, respectively. © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Research
