In one embodiment, an aerosol particle collector includes a duct defining a flow path configured to remove larger particles from aerosol flowing through the duct and to store the removed particles in the duct while maintaining a uniform rate of aerosol flow throughout a predetermined useful life of the duct even as stored aerosol particles accumulate in the duct. In another embodiment, an aerosol particle collector includes a duct and a plurality of baffles in the duct. The duct has an elongated inlet extending along a length of the duct and an outlet located at one end of the length of the duct. A first one of the baffles extends along a first side of the duct for deflecting incoming aerosol toward a second side of the duct opposite the first side. A second one of the baffles is for deflecting aerosol toward the outlet.
An aerosol particle collector, comprising a duct having an inlet through which aerosol may enter the duct and an outlet through which aerosol may exit the duct, the duct defining a flow path therethrough from the inlet toward the outlet and the flow path configured to:
An aerosol particle collector, comprising:
