Previous studies on the performance of the round type impactor were reexamined and extended to the case of high particle mass loading. It was pointed out that the previous numerical studies need to be supplemented in the numerical process. The impactor performance was calculated under the same conditions as previous studies by the exact calculation process and it was found out that a tail of the collection efficiency curve, which have not been found in the previous studies, appeared in the results of ours. Numerical results for high particle mass loading show that the value of the collection efficiency in the impactor decreases but better particle-cut characteristics can be obtained, as the amount of the particle mass loading increases.
