Components
I. Inputs
- Gas- or condensed-phase precursor(s)
- Water vapor (bubbler or Nafion membrane humidifier)
- Ozone lamp (peak λ = 185 nm)
II. PAM Reactor
- Pyrex or metal chamber
- UV lamps (peak λ = 254 nm)
- UV lamp power supplies
- Quartz tube sleeves and plugs for lamps
III. Conditioning (depending on specific application)
- Ozone denuders, e.g. Carulite
- Charcoal denuders
- Thermal denuders
IV. Flows (govern residence time in PAM reactor)
- Gas-phase measurements
- Condensed-phase measurements
- Makeup flow(s)
