The TE-PNY1123-BLXZ delivers high-volume air sampling for polyurethane foam (PUF) collection of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, and other toxic air pollutants. Configured for New York style sampling protocols with mass flow control and a brushless motor assembly for reliable field operation.
Mass Flow Control System
Mass flow control (MFC) maintains constant flow rates by continuously adjusting motor speed based on real-time flow feedback from the sampling train. This active flow regulation compensates for filter loading and environmental conditions throughout the sampling period, ensuring consistent sample volumes for accurate concentration calculations.
Brushless Motor Technology
The brushless motor design eliminates carbon brush wear, reducing maintenance requirements and extending service life in continuous field deployments. Operates on 220V, 60Hz power with consistent performance across varying ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
- Power: 220V, 60Hz AC
- Controller: Mass Flow Control (MFC)
- Motor: Brushless design
- Timer: Mechanical operation
- Shelter: Anodized aluminum construction
EPA Method Compliance
Designed for EPA Compendium Method TO-13A sampling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and other semi-volatile compounds in ambient air. The high volume sampling technique (0.22 m³/min) provides sufficient sample mass for analysis while dual-phase collection (filter plus PUF sorbent) captures both particle-bound and vapor-phase contaminants.
Compatible with EPA TO-13A for PAH monitoring and other TO-series methods requiring PUF sorbent collection.
Applications
- Ambient air toxics monitoring for PAHs, pesticides, and PCBs
- Source assessment and fence-line monitoring
- Environmental compliance sampling
- Research studies requiring semi-volatile compound collection
- Multi-pollutant monitoring programs
Operational Features
The mechanical timer provides dependable start/stop control without electronic complexity. Field operators record initial flowrate on the sample data sheet and set the timer for the desired sampling period. The anodized aluminum shelter protects instrumentation from weather while allowing easy access for routine maintenance and sample collection.
This configuration supports 24-hour sampling periods typical of PUF/XAD sampling procedures with sample volumes up to several hundred cubic meters depending on flow rate settings and sampling duration.
