====March 15 2022==== * **Run 05**: SMPS_20220315_Run05 * No notes on this run. * **Run 06**: SMPS_20220315_Run06 * //Start Time//: 14:24 UTC * CPC Starting Concentration: 6300 #/cm3 * APS Starting Pattern: Flat. Minor peaks around 3-4 μm at 4 #/cm3 * CPC continuing to linearly drop off * **Run 07**: SMPS_20220315_Run07 * //Start Time//: 14:59 UTC * CPC Starting Concentration: 2800 #/cm3 * APS Starting Pattern: Relatively Flat * CPC Concentration after 5 min: 2000 #/cm3 * Any minor APS peaks are around 5 #/cm3 * CPC showing asymptotic behavior, signs of flattening out. * Tapping valves causes spikes in CPC concentrations. * **Run 08**: SMPS_20220315_Run08 * //Start Time//: 15:28 UTC * //Filter Off//: 16:12 UTC * CPC pattern very different. CPC concentrations increased and now relatively stable. Different solution producing different results. CPC concentration stabilized around 380 #/cm3. * APS Pattern: Flat * After peak, seeing slight decay in concentration. * **Run 09**: SMPS_20220315_Run09 (Acetone Run) * //Start Time//: 16:25 UTC * //Purge of Generator//: 16:29 UTC * Peak of purge at 100 #/cm3. Falling off quickly. * Second peak observed at 16:37 UTC. Unknown what the cause is. * //Filter Start Time//: 16:41 UTC * Back to background levels after purge at 16:44 UTC. * Train went by at 16:51 UTC. No response in data. * Tapping valves at 16:54 UTC. Minor peak of 40 #/cm3. * **Run 10**: SMPS_20220315_Run10 (Propane Run) * //Start Time//: 18:08 UTC * //Filter On//: 18:09 UTC * CPC just background values ( ≥ 0.5 #/cm3). * APS has very few larger particles. Peak around 0.6 μm at ∼0.2 #/cm3. * 10 mins in, everything remains the same. APS peaking between 0.6-0.7 μm. * **Run 11**: SMPS_20220315_Run11 (IPC 2021 Old Run) * //Start Time//: 19:01 UTC * CPC Concentration Peak: ∼440 #/cm3 * APS Pattern: Flat, no real peaks * CPC showing linear decrease. ∼350 #/cm3 at 5 mins in. * **Run 12**: SMPS_20220315_Run12 (New Filtration System: Duplicate to Run 1) * Filtration System added: 0.2 #/cm3 background * CPC hovering around 20,000 with valves open. Counts averaged around 17,000 #/cm3. Background is 0.1-0.3 #/cm3. * Background 1 to Atmos. 15,000 ratio * //CPC Start Time//: 20:05 UTC * //Sample Start Time//: 20:30 UTC * 1 minute sample outside (air without dilution) * 1 minute sample with dilution * Repeat process for two of each. * Generator CPC peak at 1,100 #/cm3. Dropping linearly to 750 #/cm3 3 minutes later. * CPC holding steady between 700-750 #/cm3. * **Run 13**: SMPS_20220315_Run13 (WMI Formula) * //CPC Start Time//: 20:55 UTC * Initial Concentration: ∼20 #/cm3 * Ratio Tests: * 13-15 background to 40,000 (1 valve) * 13-15 background to 80,000+ (all valves) * Concentrations not dipping down to previous background levels. Some contamination possible. Another bypass might be needed. * Running propane to clear 8" tubing. No real response. Still 8-10 #/cm3. Needs to be around 1 #/cm3. * More ratio tests: * 3-6 background to 14,000-15,000 * 5-7 background to 12,000-13,000 * 5-7 background to erroneous values. * //Sample Start Time//: 22:10 UTC (same as filter start time) * CPC Concentration: 3,720 #/cm3 * APS pattern: Continued relatively flat pattern ∼ 4 #/cm3 * Fans once again died at the end.
