The TE-5170DVBLXZ is a high-volume air sampler designed for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) collection in ambient air for determining compliance with national ambient air quality standards. This configuration combines volumetric flow control, digital timing, and brushless motor technology for reliable field operation at 220V, 60Hz power.
EPA-Compliant TSP Sampling
Operates in accordance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, the EPA reference method for TSP determination. Collects particles with aerodynamic diameters up to 25-50 µm, depending on wind speed and direction. Maintains sampling flow rates between 40-60 ft³/min over the sampling period.
Volumetric Flow Control (VFC)
Uses a critical orifice with predetermined diameter to control flow rate, with the orifice drilled and calibrated to allow only the predetermined flow rate to pass through the filter. The motor operates wide open while the critical orifice maintains constant volumetric flow rate, providing consistent performance across varying field conditions.
Digital Timer System
Features EPA-recommended digital timer with programmable sampling schedules including 1-in-3, 1-in-6, 1-in-7, and custom intervals. Internal battery backup prevents timer reset during power outages, with LCD screen and soft push buttons for straightforward operation.
Brushless Motor Technology
Incorporates brushless motor design that reduces routine maintenance requirements and extends service life during continuous field deployment. Eliminates brush replacement intervals while maintaining consistent performance characteristics essential for regulatory compliance monitoring.
