다단임팩터(cascade impactor)는 대기환경 연구에 있어 입자상물질의 물리 화학적 분석에 유용하게 사용되고 있는 입자상물질 포집장치이다. 다단임팩터의 각 단은 외벽(stage wall), 가속노즐판(acceleration nozzle plate)과 충돌판(impaction plate)으로 구성되며 충돌판에는 입자상물질의 포집을 위하여 테플론 필터, 알루미늄 필터 등을 장착하게 되어 있다. (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)

대기 중에 부유하는 입자상 물질을 크기별로 측정하는 기술은 크게 입자의 전기적 특성, 광학적 특성 및 공기역학적 특성을 이용하는 방법이 널리 사용된다. 이중 입자의 공기역학적 특성, 다시 말해 입자의 관성력을 이용한 다단임팩터는 설계 및 제작이 용이하고, 입경별 분리능력이 우수하기 때문에 대기 에어로졸의 입경분포 측정에 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구의 목표는 분리입경이 각각 10, 5, 2.5, 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 인 상압 4단임팩터를 설계, 제작하여 성능평가하는 데 있다. (중략)

관성임팩터(inertial impactor)는 입자의 관성을 이용하여 기류로부터 입자를 분리하는 장치이며 입자를 입경별로 포집하는데에 높은 효율을 가지며 작동하기에 간편하므로 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만, 임팩터는 입자의 되튀김(bouncing), 재유입(reentrainment), 그리고 과적(overload)과 같은 입자와 충돌판의 상호작용에 의한 문제점이 있다. 일반적으로 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 충돌판의 표면에 그리스(grease) 또는 오일(oil)을 코팅하여 사용하는 방법이 있다. (중략)

An electrical cascade impactor is a multistage impaction device to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes using electrical method. We designed a real-time three-stage electrical low-pressure impactor, which is proper to nanometer sized environmental aerosols. Performance evaluation was carried out for stage 1 and 2. The monodisperse liquid dioctyl sebacate (DOS) particles were generated using condensation-evaporation followed by electrostatic classification using DMA (differential mobility analizer) for particles with diameters in the range of $0.04{\sim}0.8{\mu}m$. The evaluation of the electrical impactor is based on the use of two electrometers, one connected to the impaction plate of the impactor, and the other to the faraday cage as backup filter. The results showed that the experimental 50% cutoff diameters in the operation pressure were 0.53 and $0.12{\mu}m$ for stage 1 and stage 2. The effect of operation pressure on the cutoff diameter and the steepness of collection effcieicy curves is investigated.

In this experimental study, relative particle size distribution was measureed at the inlet and outlet of the slit impactor using the particle sizer. The imployed measuring method of the size distribution was different from the conventional method. This measurement system has the advantage of obtaining the particle collection efficiency for various particle size easily and at once compared with other methods. The effects of jet to plate distance and Reynolds number on the characteristic impactor efficiency curves have been studied. In the results of this experiment, the increment of collection efficiency was observed as Reynolds number increases in the case of S/W = 1/2 but was very slight. The influence of S/W is more remarkable than that of Reynolds number on the particle collection efficiency.

Previous studies on the performance of the round type impactor were reexamined and extended to the case of high particle mass loading. It was pointed out that the previous numerical studies need to be supplemented in the numerical process. The impactor performance was calculated under the same conditions as previous studies by the exact calculation process and it was found out that a tail of the collection efficiency curve, which have not been found in the previous studies, appeared in the results of ours. Numerical results for high particle mass loading show that the value of the collection efficiency in the impactor decreases but better particle-cut characteristics can be obtained, as the amount of the particle mass loading increases.

A low pressure impactor is an impaction device to separate airborne particles into aerodynamic size classes at low pressure condition. We designed a two-stage low-pressure impactor to classify submicron sized environmental aerosols. Performance evaluation was carried out for stages 1 and 2 by using an electrical method. Monodisperse liquid dioctyl sebacate (DOS) particles were generated using evaporation-condensation process followed by electrostatic classification using a DMA (differential mobility analyzer). The test particles were in the range of 0.08∼0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$. For the evaluation of the impactor we used two electrometers; one was connected to the impaction plate of the impactor and the other was to the Faraday cage used as a backup filter. The effect of polydispersity of test aerosols on the performance was investigated. The results showed that the experimental 50-% cutoff diameters at each impactor's operation pressure were 0.53 and 0.187$\mu\textrm{m}$ for stages 1 and stage 2, respectively. The effects of operation pressure on the cutoff diameter and the steepness of collection efficiency curves were also investigated.

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.
