AMS Collection Efficiency Issues• SIZE:
– Aerodynamic lenses focuses particles onto the AMS vaporizer– Particle transmission loss through the lens system for large particles impacting
on orifice plates– Particle transmission loss for small particle through Brownian forces exerted
exiting the lens system causing the particles to miss the vaporizer– Large particles may not fully vaporize prior to ejection off of hot vaporizer
surface• SHAPE:
– Nonspherical particles are not as well focused as spherical particles and may miss vaporizer.
• PHASE: – Refractory materials are not measured (e.g. sea salt, crustal oxides, and soot)– Solid particles and mixed phase particles (solid+liquid) may bounce off the
vaporizer prior to full evaporation.
… an important ongoing quantitative issue

• Particle phase is important– Solid particles exhibiting CE’s 10-30% – Liquid droplets exhibiting CE’s ~100%
• Mixed phase particles have CE’s between solid and liquid droplets (CE ~ 10-100%)– Suggests that ambient particles are mixed phase most of
the time and/or likely not solid
• Particle size is important– Larger particles exhibit more bounce

Ambient CE EstimatesInternal mixtures:• Aerosol dominated by inorganic phase to first order
(typically sulfate or nitrate)External mixtures:• Dependent upon phase of each mode
Size Dependence:• Lens transmission dependent upon size range of each mode
Recommend ALWAYS testing any CE hypothesis with instrumental comparisons!
![Page 31: AMS Collection Efficiency Summarycires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/UsrMtgs/UsersMtg...Microsoft PowerPoint - AMS Users Meeting CE presentation5.ppt Author: onasch Created Date: 10/31/2009](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f788d0ea58106133c0e4a96/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Summary• AMS CE is mainly due to particle incomplete vaporization (i.e. bounce) and lens
transmission effects (impaction, diffusion, and focusing)– Must characterize AMS CE through instrument comparisons for each study!– Combining mass and size measurements provides the most robust AMS CE measurements
• Lens developements– Continue modeling of large and small particle lens designs– PM2 - Difficulty building consistent lenses, but soon!
• Vaporizer material and designs have been researched– Significant work for little pay-off
• Coating of particles with liquid oils shows CE’s ~ 100% are achievable with >70 nm of coatings for >200 nm particles
– Continue this work to understand AMS CE better– Develop a potential technique for independently checking CE while in the field (won’t be
continuous)
• LS module has provided important information on our CE issues and continues to be developed for more wide-spread applications
– Counting efficiency has been dramatically improved– Laser power is being increased for better small particle detection (current limit >200 nm)– Analysis software in works and will be released this coming year– Best in situ measure of AMS CE
