The TE-6070DXZ is a high volume air sampler engineered for EPA-compliant PM10 monitoring under 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J. This complete sampling system collects particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers (µm) over a 24-hour period for ambient air quality assessment and regulatory compliance monitoring.
Mass Flow Control Technology
The integrated mass flow controller (MFC) maintains precise flow rates by continuously monitoring airflow and adjusting motor speed to compensate for filter loading and environmental conditions. This active flow control ensures specific air velocities are maintained in the sampler's inlet system throughout the sampling period within the design flow rate range, which is critical for accurate PM10 size discrimination through inertial separation.
Key Specifications
- Sample Type: PM10 (particles ≤ 10 µm aerodynamic diameter)
- Flow Control: Mass Flow Controller (MFC)
- Timer: Digital programmable timer for automated sampling cycles
- Motor: Brush-type motor assembly
- Power: 220V, 60Hz configuration
- Housing: Anodized aluminum shelter with weather protection
Digital Timer Operation
The digital timer provides straightforward programming for repeatable 24-hour sampling periods required by EPA reference methods. This electronic control system eliminates the maintenance requirements of mechanical timers while ensuring precise start/stop timing for regulatory compliance sampling.
Regulatory Compliance
Designed to meet the measurement principles and specifications outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J for PM10 reference method sampling. The system determines total air volume sampled, corrected to EPA reference conditions (25°C, 101.3 kPa), and expresses mass concentration in micrograms per standard cubic meter.
System Configuration Options
The TE-6070DXZ represents one configuration in Tisch Environmental's comprehensive TE-6070 series. Alternative configurations are available with different power requirements (110V), timer types (mechanical), motor technologies (brushless), and flow control methods (VFC, VFC Plus) to meet specific site requirements and operational preferences.
