ELECTROSTATIC CLASSIFICATION OF SUBMICRON AIRBORNE PARTICLES. Progress Report October 15 to December 15, 1960

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4059985
In the study of basic variables that affect the electrostatic classification of heterogeneous aerosols in the submission range, basic performance data on the charger was obtained in order to establish optimum charger configuration. The performance of the charger was judged by the classification of a salt aerosol. Results indicated that the average field strength may not be the controlling factor, but that the high field gradient that exists close to a discharger wire is the controlling driving force for the ions charging the aerosol.
