Granulometric results based on ex-vivo/situ aerosol analysis on the physical RCP: (a) mean (n = 3) particle size distributions at inlet (SP1) and outlet (SP2) at a volumetric flow rate of 3 l/min; (b) separation efficiency data over particle size and corresponding semi-empirical function for a volumetric air flow rate of 3 l/min of the bipolar charged test aerosols; confidence range refers to the size range of adequate measurement data (suggested for data interpolation).
