Introductiow ‘ The HiVol 3000 Particulate Sampler provides a flexible platform for ‘sampling of PM,o, PM, 5 or TSP particulate and for monitoring basic meteorological parameters. The sampler is microprocessor based and features internal data logging of flow and meteorological parameters. ‘# The HiVol 3000 incorporates ambient temperature and pressure sensors, which are used to automatically maintain a constant volumetric flow-rate of typically 67.8 m*/h through a rectangular filter mounted in a cassette- style filter holder. The HiVol 3000 also incorporates a time clock and programmable timer enabling multiple times based sampling programs to be configured.12/30/2016 © Flow Path ¥ The inlet funnel for the sampler is constructed of fibre glass, which Provides a gradual change in flow geometry ensuring an even Pressure gradient and avoiding flow resistance and noise. ¥ The design also enables equal flow-rates through the whole cross section of the filter, Following the funnel, a joining sleeve is provided _ to allow for easy access to the flow sensor and to aid in removal of the blower motor, ~ All tubing is PVC. Fittings are available for connection of an external exhaust duct.12/30/2016 Instrument deseription Ei ‘# Flow Sensor ¥ The flow sensor is a precision mass flow sensor - which “reads” the fl Fate and converts it to an electronic signal, This is connected to the electronics enclosure, from where the flow sensor signal performs two functions. One is to indicate the current flow-rate of air, via the LCD display, and the other is to provide feedback to the flow control circuit, ~The HiVol Model 3000 uses a mass flow sensor located within a parallel by- Pass tubing. An orifice is used to control the amount of flow through the by- Pass and then the mass flow sensor is used to calculate the total flow in the instrument. The device has been designed to be easily removed and replaced. Instrument description © Flow Control ¥ Flow control is achieved by a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) | (sometimes called an inverter or variable frequency drive.) ~ The drive controls the speed of the blower motor based on a signal from the microprocessor. v The drive automatically corrects the flow rate of air so that when the filter becomes loaded with particulate matter, the flow-rate remains constant. v The time required to reach the correct flow is typically less than 15 seconds.
