The TE-116311 is a 110-volt blower motor specifically designed for mass flow controlled (MFC) high volume air sampling systems. This brush-style motor provides the vacuum power needed for ambient particulate collection in EPA-compliant monitoring applications. The mass flow controller uses a hot wire anemometer to maintain steady flow rates throughout sampling periods, while this motor responds to speed adjustments to compensate for filter loading.
Motor Specifications
- 2-stage, thru-flow design with 5.7-inch diameter
- 110-120 volt, 60Hz operation
- 7.6 amp running current
- 91.2 inches H&sub2;O water lift capacity
- 95 CFM air flow at 2-inch orifice
- 245 air watts power output
Compatible Systems
This motor is designed for use in Tisch Environmental MFC high volume air samplers including:
- PM10 particulate samplers with flow rates between 36-60 ft³/min
- PM2.5 particulate samplers operating at 40 CFM
- TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) samplers with flow rates between 39-60 CFM
Mass flow controllers automatically adjust motor speed as filters begin collecting particulate, making this motor ideal for maintaining consistent sampling rates throughout extended monitoring periods.
Maintenance Requirements
This brush-style motor requires periodic maintenance of carbon motor brushes. Replacement brushes are available as TE-33384 (set of 2) for 110V motors TE-116311 and TE-116336. Motor brushes should be replaced after several years or around 300-500 operating hours. No grease, oil, or other maintenance is required beyond brush replacement.
Applications
Used in ambient air quality monitoring for:
- EPA-compliant particulate monitoring networks
- Industrial perimeter monitoring
- Environmental research studies
- Regulatory compliance monitoring
TSP samplers operate within EPA acceptable flow limits of 1.10 to 1.70 m³/min (39 to 60 CFM), with this motor providing the consistent vacuum power needed for accurate particulate collection on 8" × 10" filter media.
