The TE-6070VFCBL is a high volume air sampler designed for PM10 particulate matter monitoring with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in ambient air. This EPA-compliant system combines advanced PLUS controller technology with a reliable brushless motor assembly for continuous field operation.
VFC PLUS Controller Technology
The microprocessor-based VFC (Volumetric Flow Controlled) PLUS controller maintains precise flow control through real-time ambient temperature and barometric pressure compensation. Mass concentrations of PM10 are computed using flow rates corrected to EPA reference conditions of temperature and pressure, ensuring accurate data collection under varying environmental conditions. The controller features auto calibration capabilities and comprehensive onboard data logging with four separate data logs capturing average, minimum, and maximum ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
- Power: 110V, 60Hz single-phase
- Motor: Brushless design for extended service life and reduced maintenance
- Controller: VFC PLUS with ambient sensors and digital timer
- Sample Type: PM10 particulate matter collection
- Data Export: USB connectivity for easy data retrieval
- Timer: Digital with battery backup for reliable programming
Regulatory Compliance
This sampler configuration meets the requirements of 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J for PM10 reference method sampling. The flow rate through the sampler's inlet must be maintained throughout the sampling period within the design flow rate range, which the VFC PLUS controller ensures through continuous monitoring and adjustment.
Applications
Designed for ambient air quality monitoring networks, compliance monitoring for National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), and environmental research applications. Particulate matter shall be measured as PM10 by a reference method based on appendix J for determining attainment of primary and secondary standards.
The brushless motor technology reduces routine maintenance requirements compared to traditional brush-style motors, making this configuration ideal for remote monitoring sites and continuous operation environments where service access may be limited.
