For quality assurance, measuring devices should be calibrated regularly. Especially with aerosols, the calibration of the measuring instruments requires extensive equipment to produce the calibration standards.
The goal of this project is the development of an aerosol generator, that can easily be used for the calibration of aerosol measuring instruments. In the aerosol generator, certified standard particles should be dispersed to directly deliver the desired aerosol concentration and size distribution. For that, a reliable method to deposit the particles in containers needs to be developed. Also, a method for redispersing the particles in a controlled manner without altering their shape is to be found. Then, a prototype of the calibration aerosol generator should be built and tested for its performance.
