Abstract

See full text

A processing device of a particle detection system causes a distribution unit of the particle detection system to initiate a particle collection process to dislodge surface particles from a surface of an article based on a stream including solid carbon dioxide (CO2) particles and/or CO2 droplets directed toward the article. A portion of the dislodged surface particles are collected by a particle sampling component that determines, for collected particles and in real-time, a particle number concentration, a particle size, and/or a particle size distribution. A determination is made based on a signal received by the particle sampling component that the at least one of the particle number concentration, the particle size, or the particle size distribution of the portion of the dislodged surface particles satisfies one or more collection criteria. The processing device causes the distribution unit of the particle detection system to terminate the particle collection process.
