An aerosol generator of high stability

Abstract

This paper reports on the use of a syringe pump to provide a constant liquid flow to an atomizer to obtain an aerosol generator of high stability. This syringe-pump atomizer has also been used with a vaporizer-condenser to generate monodisperse DOP (di-octyl phthalate) aerosols in the 0.032 to 1 mum diameter range.
