The TE-PNY1123-BLX is a high volume air sampler designed to collect both airborne particulate and vapor-phase contaminants using a dual sampling module with polyurethane foam media. This system meets EPA method requirements for TO-4A, TO-9A, and TO-13A for collecting volatile organic compounds and airborne pesticides in ambient air monitoring applications.
Mass Flow Control Operation
The MFC system uses a hot wire anemometer probe inserted into the flow stream that automatically adjusts motor speed as the filter begins to collect particulate. Mass flow controlled samplers maintain precise flow rate control by continuously monitoring actual flow conditions and compensating for filter loading throughout the sampling period. The system operates between 125-250 lpm with consistent performance across varying environmental conditions.
Key Specifications
- Power: 220V, 50Hz configuration for international installations
- Motor: Brushless design eliminates motor brush maintenance requirements and provides emission-free operation
- Flow Rate: 125-250 liters per minute operating range
- Timer: 7-day mechanical timer for reliable scheduling
- Housing: Anodized aluminum shelter for weather resistance
Dual Sampling Module Design
The dual sampling module collects airborne particulates onto filter paper media in the upper chamber while capturing vapor elements onto polyurethane foam in the lower chamber. This configuration enables simultaneous collection of both particle-bound and gas-phase contaminants, critical for comprehensive pesticide and VOC assessment. The polyurethane foam effectively captures organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
Maintenance and Operation
The brushless motor requires no routine maintenance, reducing operational costs and field service requirements compared to brush-style alternatives. The mechanical timer provides dependable start/stop control without requiring battery backup or digital programming. Regular calibration using standard high volume air sampler procedures maintains EPA compliance and measurement accuracy.
Applications
Ideal for ambient air quality monitoring programs requiring pesticide and semi-volatile organic compound assessment. Designed specifically for sampling using EPA compendium methods TO-4A, TO-9A, and TO-13A. Suitable for regulatory monitoring, environmental impact assessment, and research applications where both particulate and vapor-phase contaminants must be characterized.
The 220V, 50Hz power configuration makes this system suitable for international installations and locations with European-standard electrical infrastructure.
