A novel porous tube diluter was characterized to define sampling parameters for repeatable measurements of nucleation-mode particles (NMPs) in the exhaust of a modern diesel passenger car at moderate engine load. This porous tube diluter permits the variation of sampling parameters independently and in a wide range. We investigated the sampling parameters: primary dilution temperature (PDT; 15-55°C), primary dilution ratio (PDR; 8-45), residence time (RT; 0.5-4.0 s), and relative humidity of primary dilution (PRH; 5-90%). Decreased PDT and increased PRH led to a growth of particle number and size in the nucleation mode. While a maximum number of NMPs was found at moderate PDRs between 20 and 30, a maximum volume of NMPs was achieved at PDRs below 20. Coagulation explains the number reduction of NMPs under sampling conditions of prolonged RT and decreased PDR. However, the size growth of the nucleation mode can only partly be attributed to coagulation, and thus growth due to organic compounds from the exhaust probably plays an important role. Sensitivity analysis was conducted as a function of PDR-PDT and revealed two optimal sampling conditions for repeatable NMPs in number or repeatable maximum NMPs in volume. In addition to the sampling parameters, exhaust line conditioning was found to affect NMPs strongly and thus needs to be controlled to minimize effects on the history of measurements. |
