The TE-5170DBLXZ is a high volume air sampler engineered for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) sampling in accordance with EPA's reference method specified in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This system collects particles with aerodynamic diameters of approximately 100 µm or less for ambient air quality monitoring and research applications.

Mass Flow Control Technology

The sampler operates with Mass Flow Control (MFC) technology that maintains precise flow rates by continuously monitoring air velocity through a hot wire anemometer probe. The hot wire anemometer probe is inserted into the flow stream and automatically adjusts the motor speed as the filter begins to collect particulate, ensuring stable sampling conditions throughout the 24-hour collection period required by EPA protocols.

Key Specifications

Power: 220V, 60Hz configuration
Motor: Brushless design for extended service life and reduced maintenance
Timer: Digital programmable timer for accurate sampling periods
Flow Control: MFC (Mass Flow Control) system
Flow Rate: 39-60 ft³/min over constant sampling period
Sample Period: 1,440 ±60 minutes for valid sample

Brushless Motor Advantages

The brushless motor design eliminates the need for routine brush replacement, reducing maintenance requirements in continuous field operations. This motor technology provides consistent performance over extended periods and operates more quietly than traditional brush-style motors, making it ideal for long-term monitoring stations.

Digital Timer Control

The digital timer system allows precise programming of sampling periods and provides clear documentation of sampling duration. This ensures compliance with EPA method requirements and enables repeatable sampling protocols for quality assurance programs.

Compatibility and Applications

This sampler configuration is designed for:

EPA-compliant ambient air monitoring programs
Support of data collection for the Pb National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)
Environmental research and source assessment studies
Regulatory compliance monitoring
Industrial hygiene applications requiring TSP measurement

Housing and Protection

The system is housed in a rugged anodized aluminum shelter with gabled roof design that allows particulate matter to be drawn onto the filter from all four sides. The weatherproof construction withstands outdoor conditions with minimal maintenance requirements, ensuring reliable long-term operation in field environments.
