WHAT’S NEWWITH AIR MOVERS AND SHAKERS
PRESENTATION FOCUS • To provide an update on the latest features available on SKC Air Samplers • To make you an AIR MOVER AND SHAKER!
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…ELECTRONIC FLOW CONTROL SKC Isothermal Flow Sensor A patented† flow control sensor from SKC measures the pressure drop across a tube, compares it to a calibration stored in the pump memory, and constantly adjusts the pump motor to maintain the required flow to within ± 3%. † U.S. Patent No. 5,892,160
SKC ISOTHERMAL FLOW SENSOR • Meaures the flow rate directly and maintains the flow through a closed-loop system. • Achieves the set flow immediately without a lot of fluctuation and a long settling time. • Adjusts for variations in temperature and atmospheric pressure.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP FLOW CALIBRATION • New SKC pumps will display the flow rate on the display screen as measured by the internal flow sensor • Calibration can be verified by an external primary flow standard and adjusted.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP FLOW CALIBRATION SKC CalChek® • This SKC patented* feature allows a CalChek capable SKC pump and Defender or DryCal® DC-Lite primary flow calibrator to communicate directly. • When connected, the pump adjusts the flow until the displayed values of both agree.* U.S. Patent Nos. 6,227,031 and 6,363,769
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP PROGRAMMABILITY Keyboard control, Real-time data display • Start and stop date and time • Total sample time • Flow rate and air volume • Temperature and atmospheric pressure • Battery status
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP PROGRAMMABILITY Optional SKC DataTrac®software provides the ultimate flexibility in scheduling and record keeping capabilities for air samplers.
SKC DATATRAC SOFTWAREREAL-TIME SAMPLE SETUP View, Set, or Reset: • Hold/run status • Accumulated run time and air volume • Temperature and atm. pressure • Flow correction factors based on external calibration
SKC DATATRAC SOFTWARESAMPLE SETUP WINDOW Record: • Sample identification • Method/media • Calibration data • Environmental conditions • Analysis results
SKC DATATRAC SOFTWAREPUMP SCHEDULER WINDOW Program: • Sampling intervals • Start/stop date, time, and flow rates • Create a sampling schedule
SKC DATATRAC SOFTWARESAMPLE HISTORY WINDOW Record, View, Save, or Print: • Run times • Flow rates • Air volumes • Changes in operational status
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP BATTERIES Advancements in battery technology • Nickel-metal hydride • Lithium-ion • Small in size • High in power • No memory effect • Allow AC operation
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP FLOW OPTIONS Longer run times By utilizing new battery technology and optimizing the pump pneumatics for reduced power requirements, extended run times for 10 to 12 hour workplace sampling or 24-hour indoor air assessments can be achieved.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…BATTERY CHARGERS • Users want small, portable chargers that work for multiple pumps. • The new SKC PowerFlex® is a revolutionary, patented‡ charging technology. • Charges up to 5 different SKC personal pumps by inserting pump-specific cables into the charger box • No need to carry multiple chargers for multiple types of SKC pumps‡ Patented by Galaxy Power, Inc.
SKC POWERFLEX • Smart - continuously monitors charging voltage and automatically switches to trickle mode at full charge • Convenient - patented technology does not promote memory and discharging is not required, even on NiCad batteries • Space Age - technology used on the NASA space shuttle
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP ERGONOMICS Low Noise • The noise levels of sampling pumps are being reduced so they can be used to sample in homes during sleeping hours.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP ERGONOMICS Ruggedness • Air samplers have to be able to withstand the rigors of everyday life in a home or workplace including impact and water resistance.
WHAT’S MOVING AND SHAKING…PUMP ERGONOMICS Small Footprint • Air samplers have to be of a reasonable size and weight to be worn by a person for a 24-hour period, including children and the elderly.
