가상 임팩터(virtual impactor)는 가속노즐(acceleration nozzle)아래에 충돌판(impaction plate) 대신 가상의 공간을 가진 수집관(receiving tube)이 설치되어 유선의 방향이 $90^{\circ}$로 바뀔 때, 큰 입자는 유선에서 벗어나 수집노즐에 포집된다(Hounam and Sherwood, 1965). 가상 임팩터에는 관성 임팩터(inertial impactor)와는 다르게, 절단입경(cut-size)보다 큰 입자를 분리할 수 있는 부 유동(minor flow)과 절단입경보다 작은 입자를 분리할 수 있는 주 유동(major flow)으로 나눈다.

에어로졸을 분리할 수 있는 장비로는 전기적 이동차 분석기(differential mobility analyzer), 싸이클론(cyclone), 습식 충돌기(impinger), 습식 싸이클론(wet cyclone), 확산 배터리(diffusion battery), 관성 임팩터(inertial impactor), 그리고 가상 임팩터(virtual impactor) 등이 있다. 이중 가상 임팩터는 설계 및 제작이 비교적 간편하고, 입자를 분리 및 농축하는데도 좋은 성능을 나타냄으로 널리 사용되어져 왔다. (중략)

가상임펙터(virtual impactor)는 충돌판을 가지고 있는 관성임팩터(inertial impactor)와는 다르게 분리입경보다 큰 입자를 분리할 수 있는 부 유동과 분리입경보다 작은 입자를 분리할 수 있는 주 유동으로 나누어져서 입자의 튀김(bouncing)이나 재비산(reentrainment) 없이 입자를 분리 또는 농축할 수 있다. 하지만 관성임팩터처럼 여러 단을 연결하여 작은 입자를 분리할 수 없기 때문에 주로 큰 입자의 분리 및 농축에 쓰여왔다. (중략)

현재 싸이클론, 임팩터, 원심분리기, 전기적 이동차분석기 등 다양한 기기들이 에어로졸을 샘플링 하거나 입경별로 분리하는데 이용되고 있다. 이러한 다양한 샘플러 중에, 임팩터는 설계 및 제작이 간편하고 입자를 쉽게 분리 및 포집할 수 있어서 입자 분리기술로 May(1945)가 개념을 처음 도입한 이래로 많은 연구가 진행되었고, 현재는 관성 임팩터(inertial impactor)의 단점을 극복한 가상 임팩터(virtual impactor) 및 컵 임팩터(cup impactor) 기술이 널리 적용되고 있다. 컵 임팩터 기술은 PM$_{10}$, PM$_{2.5}$ 등 많은 환경 계측 장비의 도입부에 사용되고 있는 기술이다 (중략)략)

This paper reports the size classification of nanoparticles as well as electrical tuning techniques for the cut-off diameter and collection efficiency. Classifying particles < 100 nm in diameter is quite a technical challenge using a virtual impactor with the cut-off diameter being determined geometrically. However, the proposed virtual impactor can classify particles <100 nm and tune the cut-off diameter by electrically accelerating the particles. The cut-off diameter of the proposed device was tuned from 15 to 50nm.

An electro-aerodynamic lens for improving the performance of virtual impactor has been proposed in this study. ANSYS FLUENT Release 16.1 was used for numerical analysis of virtual impactor with and without the electro-aerodynamic lens, used to collimate the incoming aerosol particles into a particle beam before injecting the particles into the virtual impactor. Particles supplied to the electro-aerodynamic lens were assumed to be highly charged. By using an aerodynamic lens before the virtual impactor, without any electrostatic effect, it was found that the cut-off diameter of the virtual impactor was reduced from $4.2{\mu}m$ to $0.68{\mu}m$ and that the fine particle contamination problem became more serious. However, by employing the combined electrostatic and aerodynamic effects, that is, by applying electric voltage potential to the electro-aerodynamic lens, the cut-off diameter was found to be further reduced to $0.45{\mu}m$ and the fine particle contamination was eliminated.

It is not easy to detect nano-sized airborne particles (< 100 nm in diameter) in air. Therefore, the condensation of the nanoparticles alongside of the size-classification is needed for their detection. This paper proposes a hybrid (aerodynamic+electrical) particle classification and condensation device using a micro virtual impactor (${\mu}VI$). The ${\mu}VI$ can classify the nanoparticles according to their size and condense the number concentration of nanoparticles interested. Firstly, the classification efficiency of the ${\mu}VI$ was measured for the particles, polystyrene latex (PSL), ranging from 80 to 250 nm in diameter. Secondly, the nanoparticles, NaCl of 50 nm in diameter, were condensed by 4 times higher. In consequence, the output signal was amplified by 4 times (before condensation: 4 fA, after condensation: 16 fA). It is expected that the proposed device will facilitate the detection of nanoparticles.
