New Lund H-TDMA now under construction
• Active temperature control on both DMAs (excellent RH stability)• Closed-loop sheath air on both DMAs (no compressor needed)• Scanning DMA2 voltage, not stepping (better time resolution)
• Look in situ at particle hygroscopicity before during and after volatilisation.
