TSI Instruments 3080 Series User Manual

Product Overview 1–3
Applications
When used in an aerosol generation system to produce highly
monodisperse particles:
 Aerosol research, including studies of particle transport,
diffusion, coagulation, nucleation, and condensation
 Particle-charge and electrical-mobility studies
 Filter-media tests for filter efficiency
 Calibration of particle instruments such as optical particle
counters—enhancing the monodispersity of polystyrene latex
(PSL) or other aerosols by removing residue particles and
multiplets
When used in a TSI SMPS spectrometer to offer high-
resolution sizing of submicrometer particles:
 Aerosol research, including nucleation and condensation
studies
 Atmospheric and climate studies
 Nanotechnology research and materials synthesis
 Combustion and engine exhaust studies
 Characterization of sprays, powders, and other generated
aerosols
and much more…
When used in tandem: Measuring small and large changes in
particle size due to coagulation, evaporation, condensation,
humidification, and chemical reactions.
When used with a TSI Model 3068B Aerosol Electrometer:
Primary size and concentration calibration of Condensation Particle
Counters and other aerosol instruments.
How the Classifier Operates
The Model 3080 Electrostatic Classifier consists primarily of a
Kr-85 bipolar charger to neutralize the charges on particles, a
controller to control flows and high-voltage, and a Differential
Mobility Analyzer (DMA) which separates particles based on their
electrical mobility.
