TSP Hi-Vol Air Sampler, VFC PLUS Technology, Brushless Motor, 220V, 50Hz SKU: TE-5170VFC+BLX

TSP Hi-Vol Air Sampler, VFC PLUS Technology, Brushless Motor, 220V, 50Hz

The TE-5170VFCBLX is a high volume air sampler engineered for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) monitoring in compliance with EPA reference method requirements. Configured for ambient air quality monitoring, this sampler collects particles with aerodynamic diameters of approximately 100 µm or less without size-selective separation, providing complete particulate characterization for regulatory and research applications.

PLUS Technology Controller

The PLUS Technology volumetric flow controller combines a critical orifice with an advanced microprocessor-based controller to calculate and record ambient flow rate using temperature, barometric pressure, and orifice pressure measurements. The system includes a digital timer with battery backup for uninterrupted operation. PLUS technology controllers feature auto calibration capability, eliminating lengthy field calibration procedures and manual flow rate calculations.

The PLUS controller includes built-in digital timer with internal battery backup, multiple elapsed time indicators, and four data logs with external USB drive for data retrieval. Data logs capture average, minimum, and maximum ambient temperature and barometric pressure, plus total ambient and standard flow.

Brushless Motor System

The brushless motor design eliminates carbon brush maintenance requirements while producing no emissions. This maintenance-free configuration supports continuous field operation with reduced service intervals and enhanced reliability for long-term monitoring programs.

Key Specifications

• Power Configuration: 220V, 50Hz
• Flow Rate Range: 40-60 cubic feet per minute (ft³/min)
• Filter Size: 8" x 10" glass fiber filters
• Sample Period: 1,440 ±60 minutes for valid samples
• Flow Control: VFC PLUS with auto calibration
• Data Logging: Four independent logs via USB export

EPA Compliance

This sampler operates according to EPA reference method specifications for Total Suspended Particulate determination as outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Concentrations are computed as mass of collected particles divided by air volume sampled, corrected to standard conditions, and expressed in micrograms per standard cubic meter (µg/std m³).

Applications

Designed for ambient air quality monitoring networks, industrial perimeter monitoring, research studies, and regulatory compliance programs requiring TSP data. The collected sample material supports subsequent analysis for metals, lead content, and other particulate constituents per EPA methods.
