The TE-6070DVBL-2_5 high volume air sampler delivers precision PM2.5 particulate matter collection for ambient air monitoring, research studies, and source assessment applications. This sampler collects fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers (µm) over 24-hour sampling periods, with concentrations expressed in micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³).
Volumetric Flow Control Technology
The VFC system uses a choked-flow venturi that operates at sonic velocity in the throat, maintaining consistent volumetric flow rates independent of downstream conditions such as motor speed or exit pressure, controlled entirely through engineering design without moving parts or electronic components. The vacuum motor operates at maximum speed, drawing air through a fixed area in the VFC to establish critical flow through the sampling head. This design maintains stable flow rates across varying field conditions including temperature and barometric pressure changes.
Digital Timer and Brushless Motor
The integrated digital timer provides straightforward programming for repeatable sampling periods with precise start/stop control. The brushless motor design reduces routine maintenance requirements while supporting extended service life in continuous field deployment. Brushless motors eliminate carbon brush replacement intervals and reduce electrical interference compared to brush-style motors.
