Description

DIGITEL Low Volume Samplers DPA-14 are fully automatic systems to sample dust and aerosol particles for later assessment and analysis (gravimetric and analytical determination) in accordance with EN12341:2023. The sampler operation range in standard execution is 15 to 50 litres per minute (0.3 to 3m³/h). The DIGITEL LVS DPA-14 has a magazine of 30 filters stretched in filter holders for up to 4 weeks of daily sampling. They are automatically changed to the flow position at the pre-set time. The devices can be integrated in automatic monitoring systems via various interfaces. The field housing of the DIGITEL LVS DPA-14 is suited for outdoor installation. It is easy to transport and because of a good sound insulation very quiet. Superior workmanship in sampler mechanics backed by the latest technical and electronic control guarantee a long lifetime and absolutely reliable operation.
