The TE-6070BLX is a high volume air sampler engineered for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J compliant PM10 particulate monitoring. This system measures particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 micrometers in ambient air over a 24-hour period for EPA ambient air quality compliance monitoring.
Mass Flow Control Technology
The mass flow controller adjusts motor speed as the filter media collects particulate to maintain a constant flow rate throughout the entire sample duration. The Mass Flow Controller uses a hot wire anemometer inserted into the flow channel that detects changes in thermal mass to increase or decrease motor speed. This active flow regulation compensates for filter loading and environmental changes, ensuring consistent sampling conditions required by EPA reference methods where flow rate through the sampler's inlet must be maintained throughout the sampling period within the design flow rate range.
Key Specifications
- Power: 220V, 50Hz for international applications
- Motor Type: Brushless design eliminates routine brush maintenance
- Timer: 7-day mechanical timer with recognizable yellow dial
- Flow Range: 36-44 CFM (1.02-1.25 m³/min)
- Flow Control: Mass Flow Controller (MFC) with hot wire anemometer sensor
System Components
Complete turnkey system includes anodized aluminum outdoor shelter, EPA-specified PM10 size-selective inlet, brushless motor assembly, mass flow controller, mechanical timer with elapsed time indicator, chart recorder, stainless steel filter holder, and filter paper cartridge. The brushless motor design reduces maintenance requirements compared to brush-style motors, supporting extended field deployment with minimal service intervals.
Compatibility and Configuration Options
This model represents one configuration in the TE-6070 series family. Compatible replacement parts include standard PM10 filter cassettes and chart paper. For different power configurations, consider:
- 110V 60Hz: TE-6070BL (brushless, mechanical timer, MFC)
- 220V 60Hz: TE-6070BLXZ (brushless, mechanical timer, MFC)
- Digital Timer: TE-6070DVBLX (brushless, digital timer, VFC)
Applications
Designed for ambient air quality monitoring networks, regulatory compliance monitoring, environmental impact assessments, and industrial boundary monitoring. Supports EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) compliance monitoring for particulate matter. The 220V 50Hz power configuration makes this system suitable for international deployments and regions using European electrical standards.
