• Multiply charged particles • Reference PNC cut-off • Procedure
• EMRP • Open issues

Legislation / AEA PNC requirements • Full flow • τ90<5 s • Linearity: Slope 0.9-1.1, R2>0.97, all six concentrations ±10% • Counting Efficiency CE23 = 0.50±0.12, CE41 = ≥0.9
PNC check • Zero <0.2 p/cm3
• External flow check (monthly)
PNC calibration (yearly) • Comparison with electrometer (primary) or reference PNC (secondary method) • Linearity: Slope 0.9-1.1, R2>0.97, all six concentrations ±10% • Counting Efficiency CE23 = 0.50±0.12, (optional CE41 = ≥0.9)

PNC issues
• Cut-off (d50%) of Reference PNC not specified • Calibration material
• For linearity any material is allowed • For d50% only emery oil and CAST • Emery oil gives higher CE
• Allowed (Non-) Linearity (20%) • k factor correction
• If applied d50% might be outside the limits • If not the d50% range is wider (0.38 – 0.68)
• Drift / degradation over time

Effect of material: mini CAST
FVV: no effect of thermal pre-treatment of mini CAST on CE JRC: low CE (33-39%, APG mode 15nm) to normal (47%, APG mode 70 nm)
![Page 16: Download PMP-33-04 JRC Calibration Summary - UNECE](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012500/617980dbcf142928634f2049/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Effect of material
• Emery oil Difficult to reproduce in other labs
• CAST Different counting efficiencies with different CAST settings with thermal pre-treatment. Concerns for different CAST models
Mamakos et al. 2013, AST, 47, 927
![Page 17: Download PMP-33-04 JRC Calibration Summary - UNECE](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012500/617980dbcf142928634f2049/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
(Non-) Linearity • Linear regression might be misleading. The residuals are necessary • The non-linearity can affect both VPR calibration and measurements with
different dilutions (thus concentrations)

Degradation over time • After 2.5 years of no use, no drift was observed • Some PNCs drifted • The reason is the wick (where the super-saturation is achieved) • The critical point: No light indicator identified this degrading

ISO 27891
• More detailed/strict calibration setup/procedure • Set-up / position of instruments • Repetitions • Multiply charged particles • Adds uncertainty of calibration value
• Possibility to check/calibrate <1000 p/cm3
• PNC reference dmin (almost at the plateau)

EMRP
• DMA size standards below 80 nm: • The particle mobility diameter for particles below 80 nm is
calculated using the equations from ISO 15900 (e.g. slip correction) and is assumed to be correct by convention.
• Difficult to define soot-like aerosol (high variability) • “soot-likeness” is not the best criterion for a calibration
aerosols considering the intrinsic variability of real soot and tested aerosols
Aerosol Efficiency @ 23 nm Efficiency @ 41 nm
miniCAST 26.5 % - 48.5 % 77.5 % - 79.9 % graphite spark 41.4 % - 48.5 % 79.9 % - 93.3 % «real soot» 42.5 % - 56.6 % 83.5 % - 89.2 %

PNC calibration material criteria • Monodispersity
Single charge Tunable size Sufficient number concentration Controlled morphology (spherical) Thermal stability …
• Calibration of the particle number concentration of a test CPC by comparison with an electrometer according to ISO/DIS 27891. SI-Traceability to units Volume, Time and Ampere. Linear interpolation for small number concentrations.

Promising “primary” calibr. aerosol
• Heterogeneous nucleated silver particles
![Page 23: Download PMP-33-04 JRC Calibration Summary - UNECE](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012500/617980dbcf142928634f2049/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
From NMI to field
• The dissemination from the NMI’s to the field level will need “secondary” calibration aerosols with less stringent criteria
• The uncertainty of the particle number measurement will subsequently increase
• Not valid according to ISO: • For electrometer it should be ok • For ref PNC same material would be required
• Action: ISO to give possible traceability chain charts
from NMI to user

NMIs FCE intercomparison
• Participants generally agree within 2 % in the size range 20 nm to 100 nm and number concentrations above 5000 cm-3 for singly charged synthetic particles.
• Larger deviations result at lower particle sizes and particle concentrations and soot particles.

NMIs PNC calibration
• Preliminary results suggest that the agreement of participants is less good than in the FCE comparison.
• Increased uncertainties down the traceability chain from primary FCE reference CPC (ISO/DIS 27891).

SCAR Soot
• Not evident that soot has higher variability (at least in one lab)

Aviation (PNC) • Adhere to ISO 27891 recommendations • Use reagent grade n-butanol as working fluid • Operate under full flow operating conditions (flow splitting
inside the CPC is not allowed) • single count mode only with up to 10% coincidence correction • Linearity 0.90 ≤ slope ≤ 1.10 • Have counting efficiency of ≥50% at 10 nm and ≥90% at 15
nm electrical mobility diameter respectively, using an emery oil aerosol or equivalent
• Report in Standard conditions: The pressure should be measured with accuracy better than 2%

Final open issues
• Calibration material PMP group • Aviation:The calibration aerosol shall be Emery oil, or an
aerosol that can be shown to provide an equivalent response. For example, if the efficiency curve is measured with a different aerosol, such as soot, the correlation to the Emery Oil curve must be provided as a chart that compares the counting efficiency obtained using both test aerosols
• Minimize adaptation of PNCs / past data inconsistencies • (10nm PNC in future)
• k factor correction • Mandatory to be applied (?) TSI comments • Stricter linearity differences range TSI comments

Open (minor) issues VPR

• Addition of polydisperse (validation check) • Measurement of penetration for WLTP • Stability criterion • C40 might not be the right material for volatile
removal efficiency

EMRP
• Graphite spark generator by PALAS (DNP300) was thermally stable up to 400°C

Mini CAST
• Thermally pre-treated miniCAST is stable inside a VPR
• Concerns for adequate concentration for low sizes
![Page 35: Download PMP-33-04 JRC Calibration Summary - UNECE](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012500/617980dbcf142928634f2049/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Silver
• Silver particle aerosols need sintering at 400°C for thermal stability
• Upper size limited to 50 nm

Aviation (VPR) • Achieve >99.9% removal of 30 nm tetracontane particles with
an inlet concentration of ≥50,000 particles/cm3 respectively. • If a CS is used then the diluent must be air (minimum oxygen
content of 10%). If a CS is not used, a heated dilution stage shall be placed upstream, which outputs a sample at a temperature of ≥ 423 K (150°C) and ≤ 623 K ±15 K (350°C), and dilutes by a factor of at least 8
• Instead of PCRFDF. Note that number measurements are NOT corrected for particle loss in the VPR (different to PMP). However, particle penetration measurement through VPR is required for sampling system transport performance, with minimum specifications of 30%, 55%, 65% & 70% at 15, 30, 50 & 100nm respectively.

FVV: Tetracontane
• A PNC can respond differently to C40 depending on the generation method (with or without oxygen). Oxidized C40 has higher counting efficiency.
• Importance for calibration (C40 volatile removal efficiency) but also for the real tests (already discussed)
• FVV: Temperature, residence time must be defined

experience • Clearly define open points and alternatives • Gather data • Organize a meeting to take decisions

Actions (both 23nm and 10nm PMP, separately)
• Non calibration issues • PNC drift, or stabilization time effect • Pressure (and temperature) effect on VPRs and corrections
applied (for CVS minor effect) • PNC
• Argumentation k factor correction • Emery oil or CAST or possibility to ‘correct’ for the different
material • Relative differences +/-3% from slope (which could be
within 0.9-1.1) • Traceability chain chart
• VPR • C40 or other material (C40 with air eg atomized oil sulfuric
