 Factors to Consider in Nebulizer Applications
 
APCI supplies nebulizer boards and related replacement assemblies. When considering nebulizer performance and how it is related to product performance or board design, it is crucial to understand that:
  • APCI nebulizer boards have been designed for optimal ovNebulizerserall performance, size, reliability and life.
  • An optimal water depth is related to atomization efficiency (30mm to 60mm)
  • Know your atomization performance target 
  • Consider the operating environment - it can dictate particle size requirements
  • Resonance frequency, density and surface tension are the primary drivers of particle size
  • The coating on the resonator must be durable - stainless steel is the best choice
  • Special conditions may necessitate the use of a nonstandard gasket material and more resistant stainless steel coating

  Upgrade Notice
                             
APCI is changing to a single through board .110" by .02" pin, recommended best practice will be to use the matching .110" by .02" connector instead of soldering directly to the board. (Suggested Connector - Faston .110" Series - Distributed by www.digikey.com)


Replacement Assembly Options


Standard: 304 SS coating on resonator crystal with silicon gasket

Special Option: 316 SS coating on resonator crystal with a nitro rubber gasket
