Humidity effects on the detection of soluble and insoluble nanoparticles in butanol operated condensation particle counters

Abstract: Abstract. In this study the impact of humidity on heterogeneous nucleation of n-butanol onto hygroscopic and nonabsorbent charged and neutral particles was investigated using a fast expansion chamber and commercial continuous flow type condensation particle counters (CPCs). More specifically, we measured the activation probability of sodium chloride (NaCl) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles by using n-butanol as condensing liquid with the size analyzing nuclei counter (SANC). In addition, the cutoff diameters of re… Show more

“…presented results of detection efficiency measurements of the TSI 3776 using Ag and NaCl seeds. Our results for Ag and NaCl are in perfect agreement with the results for a dry aerosol flow ofTauber et al (2019a). AsBrilke et al (2020) highlight, there is no composition dependence of the detection efficiencies of the TSI 3776*.…”

“…The tandem DMA setup enabled us to charge a monodisperse aerosol and rotate the different neutralizers, which permits a direct comparison of the charging performance of the different devices. Two butanol-based CPCs (TSI 3776 UCPC) with reduced temperature settings to increase the particle counting efficiency were used (Tauber et al, 2019a). The particle number concentration was recorded before (CPC1, See Fig.…”
