A new gas-phase aerosol generator with local heating area was proposed and the effects of a carrier gas flow rate on nanoparticles synthesis were evaluated. The carrier gas, flowing around the evaporated material (Ag) on the heater, was used to enhance the formation of nanoparticles, suppress agglomeration and other particle growth mechanisms. In the various flow rates of carrier gas, the size distribution of the generated particles was measured with a differential mobility analyzer and condensation particle counter. The geometric mean diameter, geometric standard deviation, and total number and mass concentration decreases with increase of carrier gas flow rate. And, the carrier gas flow rate has effect on the decrease of agglomeration rate by dilution and the evaporation rate of material.
