Figure 3.
Detection efficiency of the DC1700 by aerodynamic diameter. Particles smaller than 0.5 μm were generated with a nebulizer followed by electrical classification, and the reference concentration was measured with the CPC. Particles larger than 1 μm were generated with the VOAG, and the reference concentration was measured with the APS. Total (fine + coarse) corresponds with the “small bin” of the DC1700 and coarse corresponds with the “large bin” of the Dylos. Fine was calculated as the small bin minus the large bin.
