Abstract
Experiments conducted at the London School of Hygiene to determine the deposition of aerosols in the human lung (Muir and Davies, 1967) have involved the production of monodisperse aerosols of di-2-ethyl hexyl sebacate in a Sinclair-La Mer Generator. For this and other uses, the generator must produce an aerosol of a fixed diameter for a period of several hours. The present paper reports experiments carried out to determine the effect of boiler and reheater temperature, flow rate, condensation conditions and concentration, and composition of nuclei upon the size and monodispersity of these aerosols. The methods of producing nuclei investigated have been evaluated for their overall suitability.
