Portable High Volume Air Sampler


This product can be used for collection of air particulates/suspended particle matters in any filter paper medium, with a variable flow rate upto 2800 lpm. 

Salient features of the product

  1. Wireless Remote : With the remote device the air sampler can be operated within 20m radius. The remote connects to the embedded controller in the air sampler through Bluetooth connectivity.
  2. Timer : The remote has an inbuilt start, stop and pause timer, with which the sampler can be operated for desired time interval.
  3. Flow : It has an inbuilt flow indicator which displays the current flow rate and with the help of embedded controller the data is also shown and logged in the remote unit
  4. Accumulated Flow : It logs the flow for the set time and calculates the accumulated flow automatically using a logarithm which is coded in the remote
  5. GPS / Location : The remote has a GPS which logs approximate coordinates when the sample is taken. This feature would be helpful when the sampling is done in outdoor environments
  6. Flow Controller : It has a flow controller with a precise flow from 40 to 100 CFM [1100 to 2800 lpm] can be achieved precisely
  7. Data Logging : It has a data logging feature which logs date, time, set timer, logging time, flow, location and accumulated flow for the set time

The portable high volume air sampler is light-weight and made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP). It is a mains-operated instrument. The air sampler has an inbuilt embedded controller to start, stop, log and to calculate the total volume of air sampled. The ambient air is sucked at a desired flow rate up to 2800 lpm and made to pass through a glass fiber filter paper for a given duration of time.

SILENT FEATURES
  1. Wireless Remote for safer operation
  2. On/off Timer
  3. GPS / Location
  4. Flow Controller
  5. Data Logging
APPLICATIONS
  1. Can be used by pollution control boards for collection of suspended particulate matter in monitoring environmental pollution.
  2. Can be used by industries discharging particulate effluents, for the collection of samples for the purpose of monitoring.
  3. Can be used in nuclear installations for the collection of air samples to estimate air-borne radioactivity levels.

Portable high volume air samplers are employed to collect the airborne particulates in a glass fiber filter paper. After collection, the filter paper is analysed for required sample of interest. An indigenous portable high volume air sampler has been designed, fabricated and tested by, Indira Gandhi Center for Atomic Research, DAE.
