Development of a Preseparator for Denuder Sampling

Abstract A simple aerosol preseparator was developed and its size classifying characteristics evaluated. The preseparator operates as a combination of a virtual and a real impactor. Two final versions are presented, both possessing an effective cut-off diameter (ECD) of about 2.3μm. They are designed for combination with denuder sampling.
