Abstract

A new aerosol generator was invented to generate test aerosol particles in nanometer size. Electrospray method was utilized to generate particles with additional function to change the size of aerosol in a short time. The electrospray system is composed of a computer and triggering software, two syringe pump, an electrospray aerosol generator, a high voltage power supply, an aerosol mixing chamber, a charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and a monitor, and a MicroCross (Upchurch, P777) to join the two feeding tubes, and a capillary tube. Electrospray sprays liquid to generate monodispersed aerosols of a specified diameter after the solvent evaporated. While the size of droplets remained unchanged, the size of residual aerosols was manipulated by the solute concentration determined by the mixing ratio of the two feeding liquids. The diameter change of the aerosols could be in a short time.
