The TE-5005 is a complete brush-style blower motor assembly designed for Tisch Environmental high volume air samplers operating on 110 volt power. This assembly serves as the primary air moving component in TSP (Total Suspended Particulate) monitoring systems, providing the airflow required for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B compliant ambient air sampling.
Technical Design
The TE-5005 features an aluminum blower housing that maintains structural integrity while minimizing weight for shelter installations. The brush-style motor utilizes replaceable TE-33384 brushes that require periodic maintenance for optimal performance. The assembly includes integrated pressure tap connections for flow measurement and control system integration.
Key Components
- 110V brush-style motor (TE-116311) with replaceable carbon brushes
- Aluminum blower housing (TE-5005-3) with four-bolt mounting pattern
- Motor flange (TE-5005-1) for secure filter holder connection
- Pressure tap assembly (TE-5005-8) for flow monitoring
- Power cord and cord retainer for weatherproof connections
Compatibility
The TE-5005 is the standard blower motor assembly for TE-5000 series TSP samplers, including manual flow control and volumetric flow controlled configurations. This assembly integrates with TE-5003 8"x10" stainless steel filter holders and TE-5009 continuous flow recorders. For 220V applications, specify TE-5005X instead.
Maintenance Requirements
Motor brushes (TE-33384) require replacement as consumable items to maintain proper motor performance. Brush replacement involves carefully pulling quick disconnect tabs from expended brushes and sliding new brushes into position until the brush housing falls into the motor slot. Motor gaskets (TE-5005-2) and cushions (TE-5005-4) should be inspected during routine maintenance.
Applications
Essential for EPA-compliant TSP monitoring networks, environmental impact assessments, and ambient air quality surveillance programs. The aerodynamic design enables collection of particles 100 microns and smaller, supporting ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to air quality standards. Compatible with both manual control systems and automated flow control configurations for continuous monitoring operations.
