3. The BGI PQ100 is an Intelligent Air Pump that can monitor it s own airflow rate and thereby adjust the pump speed to compensate for changes in load pressure and or other forces which would otherwise hamper the flow of air through a filter or sample collector The PQ100 can be programmed to begin it s sampling job at a specific date and time and stop sampling after the user defined run time is completed A Liquid Crystal Display provides the operator with a readout of flow rate Barometric pressure ambient temperature Date Time and calibration functions The PQ100 operates at flow rates ranging from 5 to 20 liters per minute It may be Operated at EPA Standard conditions of 16 67 lpm The EPA standard conditions are a Barometric Pressure of 760 mm of Hg and a Standard Temperature of 25 C This is also commonly referred to as mass flow The instrument may also be set to run at actual conditions wherein the selected flow rate is maintained at the actual Barometric pressure and ambient temperature Certain default values have been built into this instrument to reflect EPA style air sampling procedures The default Run Time is 24 hours The default Start Date and Time is midnight tomorrow Principle of Operation The operating principle of the PQ100 can be appreciated by referring to the block diagram below Air is drawn by the pump through a size selective inlet device and or filter It then passes inside the instrument hou

Always operate the PQ100 in a normal upright position The legs should be bolted down to prevent tipping in conditions of high winds Do not operate the PQ100 if any of the parts are defective damaged or missing iii CAUTION Moisture Entry into Sampling System The normal operation of the PQ100 is for outdoor ambient particulate sampling therefore it is exposed to changing environmental weather conditions BGI has built into the PQ100 several systems to minimize the entry of water The first of these is the design of the Inlets The 45 degree down turned pie pan shape of the inlets PQTSP SSI2 5 prevents rain from entering the system Additionally a drain and water jar on the side of the inlet is intended to remove any wind blown rain that might enter the system However fog and moisture from use in tropical or mountain sampling sites can enter the unit and a secondary water trap has been built into the PQ100 A purge valve is mounted on the underside of the PQ100 Tripod Stand Any water entering the system is collected in this water trap and the user must periodically press the valve and allow any water to drip out of the sampling system Itis a prudent idea to do this manual step between each sample event if the sampling site is located in a high humidity tropical or mountain site Reference the following drawing to locate the water trap and valve Simply press upward and the valve spring will open allowing the water to escape Note Do
