TSP Hi-Vol Sampler, VFC, Mechanical Timer, Brushless Motor, 110V

The TE-5170VBL is a high volume air sampler engineered for Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) collection in compliance with 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. This sampler collects particles with aerodynamic diameters of approximately 100 µm or less, providing comprehensive particulate matter monitoring for ambient air quality assessment.

Volumetric Flow Control Technology

Equipped with Volumetric Flow Control (VFC), this sampler uses differential pressure measurement to maintain consistent volumetric flow rates across varying field conditions. The flow controlling mechanism maintains constant air flow during the sampling period, ensuring accurate volume measurements and reliable TSP concentration calculations. The high-volume samples 40-60 cubic feet per minute (ft³/min) of air with the sampling rate held constant over the sampling period.

Key Specifications

Power: 110V, 60Hz single-phase
Motor: Brushless design for reduced maintenance
Timer: Mechanical timer for reliable start/stop control
Flow Rate: 40-60 CFM (1.13-1.70 m³/min)
Sample Period: 24-hour sampling (1,440 ±60 minutes)

Brushless Motor Advantages

The brushless motor design eliminates carbon brush replacement, reducing routine maintenance requirements and extending service life in continuous field deployment. This configuration provides consistent performance over extended sampling periods while minimizing operational downtime.

Compatible Configurations

The TE-5170VBL is part of Tisch Environmental's modular sampler series. Alternative configurations include:

TE-5170V: Brush motor version (110V, VFC)
TE-5170VBLX: 220V, 50Hz brushless version
TE-5170VBLXZ: 220V, 60Hz brushless version
TE-5170BL: MFC control with brushless motor

Applications

This method provides measurement of the mass concentration of total suspended particulate matter (TSP) in ambient air for determining compliance with the primary and secondary national ambient air quality standards. Applications include:

Ambient air quality monitoring networks
EPA compliance monitoring
Environmental impact assessment
Industrial emissions monitoring
Research and academic studies

Maintenance Notes

The mechanical timer provides simple, dependable operation without requiring electronic calibration or programming. The brushless motor design significantly reduces maintenance compared to brush-style motors, making this configuration ideal for remote monitoring locations or continuous operation requirements.

Housed in an anodized aluminum shelter designed for field deployment, the TE-5170VBL includes all core components needed for routine TSP sampling operations. The total volume of air sampled is corrected to EPA standard conditions (25°C, 760 mm Hg), and TSP concentration is computed as the mass of collected particles divided by the volume of air sampled, expressed in micrograms per standard cubic meter (µg/std m³).
