  1. Humidifier dry particles wet particles Measures diameter hygroscopic growth at sub-saturations: INSTRUMENTATION • DMPS – DIFFERENTIAL MOBITY PARTICLE SIZER • H-TDMA – HYGRSCOPIC TANDEM DMA • CCN COUNTER – CLOUD CONDENSATION NUCLEI COUNTER

  2. New Lund H-TDMA now under construction • Active temperature control on both DMAs (excellent RH stability) • Closed-loop sheath air on both DMAs (no compressor needed) • Scanning DMA2 voltage, not stepping (better time resolution) CPC CPC DMA1 box DMA2 box DMA2 box DMA1 driers Front view Side view

  3. TDMA systems on ASCOS 2008 • H-TDMA (Hygroscopicity, Lund Univ.) • UFO-TDMA (Ultrafine Organic, Kuopio Univ.) • V-TDMA (Volatility, IFT Leipzig) • VH-TDMA (Volatility – Hygroscopicity, Queensland Univ.)

  4. Hydrophobic Hydrophilic Hydrophilic Hydrophilic VH-TDMA • Look in situ at particle hygroscopicity before during and after volatilisation. humidify Select Size Examine size DT:H GT:H= DT:H/DT D0 Heat Examine size DT
