4-4 Model 3076 Constant Output Atomizer
Neutralizing the Aerosol
The generated aerosol has a high electrostatic charge. Therefore,
you may encounter some loss of particles due to static charges in
the system unless the particles are neutralized. Charged particles
tend to deposit on tube walls and other surfaces. An aerosol charge
neutralizer can be used to neutralize the aerosol and to bring the
aerosol to the Boltzman charge equilibrium. The neutralizers that
can be used with the atomizer include TSI’s Model 3012/3012A
or
Model 3077/3077A with the Model 3012 being the most commonly
used one. A neutralizer operates most effectively on dry particles.
The Atomizer may be used to atomize most solutions or
suspensions. A few common applications of the Atomizer are
described in Chapter 5 of this manual.
