Abstract
The deposition of ultrafine aerosols with a size range of 3–20 nm in a needle charger has been studied numerically by simulating the flow field and the particle trajectory. The calculation model explored the particle deposition in the needle charger without applied voltage for various particle diameters, flow rates, entrance radial positions and deposition axial distances. It is first quantitatively proposed that most of the particles are attached to the outer electrode wall instead of the needle electrode wall for different flow rates and particle diameters. It is found that the numerical results of the particle deposition of the needle charger are consistent with previous experimental data. Moreover, the results demonstrate that reducing the flow rate increases the particle deposition of the needle charger. The numerical models explain and quantify the particle deposition and its attachment position for the needle charger without applied voltage.
