Development and Application of a Low-Flow Thermodenuder
This compilation describes the development and application of a thermodenuder (TD). Such an instrument enables near real-time measurements of total volatile and non-volatile particle concentrations of combustion aerosols by conditioning exhaust emissions in the ultrafine (nanometer) particle regimes. The TD is designed to strip-off the volatile and semi-volatile fraction (short-chained hydrocarbons) attached to the surface of particles by thermal desorption. ...
