Description
The Palas MAG 3000 operates based on the Sinclair-LaMer principle (1943). It comprises a core source to generate condensation cores with a particle diameter of approximately 85 nm, a vaporizer to vaporize the particle-forming material, a reheating unit, and a condensation flue, in which the particle-forming material condenses on the condensation core. The condensation process here is heterogeneous.
The new core source atomizes approximately 20 mL saline solution in only 10 hours and requires no drying system due to the very small droplets. Conventional Sinclair-LaMer generators, including past generators by Palas GmbH, use a so-called Collison atomizer. The concentration constancy, high mass flow, and the resulting need for a drying system did not meet our quality requirements concerning reliability and easy operation.
