Monte Curcio instruments. TSI CPC3775 - Condensation Particle Counter

Monte Curcio (MCU) instruments: TSI CPC3775 - Condensation Particle Counter. The Model 3775 is a general purpose counter that can detect airborne particles down to 4 nanometres in diameter. It provides highly accurate measurements over a wide concentration range from 0 to 107 particles per cubic centimetre. In the Model 3775, an aerosol sample is drawn continuously through a heated saturator where butanol is vaporized and diffuses into the aerosol sample stream. Together, the aerosol sample and butanol vapor pass into a cooled condenser where the butanol vapor becomes supersaturated and ready to condense. Particles present in the sample stream serve as condensation nuclei. Once condensation begins, particles quickly grow into larger droplets and pass through an optical detector where they are counted easily. The instruments uses a laser-diode light source and diode photodetector to collect scattered light from particles.

Statement
Calibration of the instrument is performed by maintaining a stable “volumetric” flow through the sensor using a saphire orifice operating at a critical pressure drop. Stable critical flow through the orifice is achieved using a high vacuum diaphragm pump. Calibration is made annually.//Ref. Operation and Service Manual Model 3775 (http://www.tsi.com)
