3–8 Series 3080 Electrostatic Classifiers
System Description
The Classifier consists of several subsystems that are needed in
addition to the DMA to process a polydisperse aerosol and provide a
monodisperse output. The main subsystems include: impactor,
sheath-air flow controller, neutralizer, high-voltage controller, and
DMA. All control can be performed using the front-panel interface,
or using a computer and serial port. In addition, a CPC in an SMPS
configuration can provide voltage control for the system. Figure 3-6
shows how the systems are configured with the Classifier. The
subsystems are described in more detail below.
