ABSTRACT:
A high pressure drop cascade impactor wherein particles do not bounce from the collection plate; to a method for designing said impactor; a method for calculating and determing the particle size distribution of an aerosol wherein the particle size may have a Stokes (aerodynamic) diameter as small as 10 nanometers; and, to a method of manufacturing such an impactor. Particles drawn through the impactor exhibit substantially no reentrainment, or bounce, from the collection of surfaces. The impactor eliminates turbulence near the entrances to the jet holes by rounding the edges of the jet holes. This is accomplished on the small holes by means of electropolishing. The impactor is capable of capturing particles as small as 10 nanometers Stokes (aerodynamic) diameter.
