1 Intercomparison of Mobility Particle Size Spectrometers Project No.: MPSS Basic information: Location of the quality assurance: TROPOS, lab: 118 Delivery date: - Setup in the laboratory: December 16, 2015 Comparison period: December 17, 2015 December 18, 2015 Principal Investigator Home Institution Participant Instrument John Ogren NOAA/ESRL Global Monitoring Division 325 Broadway R/GMD1 Boulder, CO 80305, USA TROPOS-MPSS Alaska: homemade TSI CPC Model 3010 # 2326 Summary of Intercomparison: Pre-status: The TROPOS-MPSS Alaska was in a bad condition and not working. Therefore, an initial status check was not possible. Final status: The TROPOS-MPSS Alaska passed the quality standards of ACTRIS and GAW. 1
2 A TROPOS-MPSS Alaska with TSI-CPC Model 3010 (S/N: 2326) was sent to TROPOS under the following conditions: The TROPOS-MPSS Alaska was in a bad condition and not working. Therefore, an initial status check was not possible. It was shipped without radioactive source during the workshop we used a Kr85 source from TROPOS The NOAA TSI-CPC 3010 arrived in a bad condition at TROPOS. It was necessary to clean and fix the optics. The reason was that after manipulation from NOAA the optic was mounted back in the wrong position. After repairing, the NOAA TSI-CPC passed the quality standards of ACTRIS and GAW. - Status of the wick: The wick should be cleaned, because it was dirty and old. - Status of the CPC: The CPC was not working properly, repair was necessary. - Final CPC-Workshop: The CPC 3010 reached the 100% efficiency at 30 nm. The Dp50 is at 9.5 nm. The CPC efficiency curve corresponds to the standard. The DMA has been opened and inspected. A visible passivation layer has been observed in the negative electrode, as well as on the positive one. The mechanical workshop cleaned the DMA, mechanically removing the passivation layer from the electrodes. The DMA was not correctly mounted on the plate of the MPSS and screws were missing. The same for the whole MPSS system, screws were missing. It seemed like that the system had been accidentally dropped down on the floor. There are scratches on the DMA. It was necessary to disassemble the system. Before mounting the whole TROPOS-MPSS Alaska back, each part of the rack and fittings were cleaned and checked. All the aerosol lines have been wet cleaned in a sonic bath with a water based solution (distilled water + isopropanol + commercial surfactant), rinsed with distilled water and dried by means of compressed air. All the nylon ferrules were replaced with new ones in the mounting phase. The electronic box have been inspected by the electronic group to make sure that everything is in proper order. We installed a pressure sensor. The blower was broken. We replaced it with a new one. During the test phase, the 5V power supply from the blower crashed. We replaced it with a new one. The two HEPA filters installed in the TROPOS-MPSS Alaska have been opened and serviced. Filter holders have been wet cleaned and the inner filters and o-rings were replaced with new ones. HEPA filters have been tested for leaks against a TROPOS CPC 3772 (SN 70859) with the Zero count method. Hardware update: The TROPOS-MPSS Alaska got a completely new Hardware, including a Motherboard, RAM, CPU and hard disk. Software update: The TROPOS-MPSS Alaska got the latest version of the TROPOS software 6.1 under WIN7. The TROPOS-MPSS Alaska was calibrated: High voltage and PSL with Latex 203 nm. In the final run, the TROPOS-MPSS Alaska passed the quality standards of ACTRIS and GAW. 2
