MiniVol / Portable Air Sampler

MiniVol, portable air samplerThe MiniVol Portable Air Sampler
The MiniVol Portable Air Sampler from Airnetrics offers a versatile, cost effective solution for monitoring ambient air particulates and gaseous pollutants. Compact, lightweight, battery-operated, and constructed from durable PVC, the MiniVol is ideal for sampling air quality in remote locations or areas where no permanent site has been established.

Simple, Reliable, and Easy to Use
The MiniVol combines simplicity of operation with accurate sample collection. Operated from either AC or DC power supplies, the unit comes with two rechargeable lead-acid battery packs, thus allowing the sampling site to be independent of AC power. An internal programmable timer can make up to six sampling runs within 24 hours, while an elapsed time totalizer records total pump operation time. The unit continously monitors its battery voltage and air flow rate - automatically shutting off sampling if limits are exceeded.

Affordable Air Quality Sampling
Developed with cost in mind, a typical network of portable samplers can be deployed at a fraction the cost for reference station networks.

Easy Installation
Siting is easy since no external shelters or power sources are required. The MiniVol can be suspended from any convenient utility pole or structure, or it can be mounted on a tripod/mast assembly. To monimize risk of vandalism or meet specific siting requirements, the sampler can be installed and retrieved from locations up to 10 feet above the ground using a telescoping hoisting pole. Quick connect fittings and battery latches allow for easy field servicing of the MiniVol.

Applications - Developed to be Versatile
The MiniVol Portable Air Sampler provides a level of flexibility that makes it the first choice for:

  • Urban air quality studies - diesel particulate, CO
  • Cropland erosion and roadside monitoring - TSP, PM10
  • Dust monitoring at remediation sites - PM10, PM25, TSP
  • Perimeter sampling at industrial/manufacturing sites
  • Fence line sampling at coal-fired electrical plants - PM10, PM25
  • Fugitive dust monitoring at mining/gravel operations
