The TE-116111 is a 2-stage vacuum motor assembly specifically designed for 220V/50Hz volumetric flow controlled (VFC) high volume air sampling systems. This brush-style motor operates at 1.0 HP and provides the suction power required for TSP and PM10 particulate sampling in EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring applications.
Technical Design
The TE-116111 features ball/sleeve bearing construction with through-flow discharge design, optimized for continuous operation in VFC sampling systems. Unlike mass flow controlled systems that modulate motor speed, this motor runs at full power while the critical orifice maintains a constant flow rate in the VFC controller.
Key Specifications
- Power: 1.0 HP, 220V/50Hz single phase with earth ground
- Start up amps: 20 amps
- Running amps: 8 amps
- Bearing type: Ball/sleeve bearing
- Discharge: Through-flow design
- Operating altitude: Up to 10,000 feet above sea level
- Ambient temperature range: -30°C to +50°C
System Compatibility
This motor is designed for VFC high volume air samplers including:
- TE-5170-V Volumetric Flow Controlled Air Sampler
- VFC TSP systems for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B compliance
- VFC PM10 systems for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J compliance
- 220V international sampling installations
Maintenance Requirements
Motor brushes (TE-33378) should be replaced periodically to maintain optimal performance. The TE-33378 brush set (sold separately) is specifically designed for the TE-116111 motor and other 220V VFC motors in the Tisch Environmental lineup.
Regular inspection of brush wear helps prevent motor damage and ensures consistent sampling performance. Follow Tisch Environmental's maintenance guidelines for optimal motor longevity.
Applications
The TE-116111 motor supports EPA reference method sampling for ambient air quality monitoring, providing reliable suction for particulate collection on 8" x 10" filter media. Flow rates typically range from 42-45 CFM continuous when paired with appropriate VFC controllers and filter configurations.
