CHARMEX VHTMA quick look
Operational from: 5th July to 12th of JulySelected sizes: 40 nm, 80 nmOven temperature: 120oC
Problems•Charging in DMA at larger sizes and highest humidities.•Material used in oven needs to be changed •(strong odeur + temperature limit = 200oC).
• GF40– Slight diurnal variation– Little spread in GFAVG values.
– GFAVG ranged from 1.4 to 1.6
• GF80– More spread in data– Less diurnal variation– GFAVG ranged from 1.6 to 2.0
CHARMEX VHTMA quick look
Effects of volatile material D0 = 40 nm (Oven = 120 oC)
Growth factor measured by HTDMAGrowth factor measured by VHTDMA (after aerosol passed through oven)Shrink factor of aerosol after passing through oven (no humidification)
Large red circle indicates regions where there are differences between the GFAVG measured by the HTDMA and VHTDMA

->More volatile ->More hydrophobic coating
Semi-volaile organic coating?

Next steps…
• Examine data on 9th where more hygroscopic modes appear after the aerosol is volatilised.
• Comparison with meteo data• Comparison with PILS (cutoff 200 nm)
