  • Page 27: Chapter 1 Introduction

    In contrast to other beta attenuation monitors using Carbon-14 (C- 14) as a source of the beta rays, the Model 5028i particulate sample collection area is located between both the C-14 source and the proportional counter. While ambient particulate is being deposited onto a filter tape sample spot, the dynamic filter loading is measured simultaneously by the attenuation of the C-14 source beta rays.
  • Page 28 The ability to count the potential interferences of Radon gas stems from the use of a proportional detector, which enables the Model 5028i to measure both α and β particles. The proportional detector is filled with a rigid counting gas and has a life-time of more than 10 years with a <100 µCi C-14 source.

  • Page 29: Principle Of Operation

    For more information on servicing, see the “Servicing” chapter. Principle of Operation The Model 5028i uses the radiometric principle of beta attenuation through a known area on a fibrous filter tape to continuously detect the mass of deposited ambient particles. Additionally, the Model 5028i...

  • Page 30: Figure 1-1. Model 5028I Flow Schematic

    Figure 1–1 provides a schematic of the components used within the Model 5028i. Within the two measurement chambers the four key components are 1) the proportional detector, 2) particle collection onto a glass fiber filter tape, 3) a vertical moving vacuum chamber plate, and 4) the C-14 beta source <100 µCi (<3.7 Mbq).

  • Page 32 Always refer to local regulations prior to setting this value. At the location where the sampling tube attaches to the Model 5028i instrument case, a radial insulated tube joins the sampling tube to the collection chamber on each channel.

  • Page 33: Specifications

    This procedure further allows the Model 5028i to provide a more stable reading at lower ambient particulate concentrations compared to similar methods. Furthermore, from this information the activity concentration of the natural noble gas Radon is derived.
  • Page 34 Data Output Rate: every 1 second Operating Range The temperature of the sampled air may vary between -30 and 45 °C. The 5028i units must be weather protected within the range of 4 °C to 50 °C. An optional Complete Outdoor Enclosure provides complete weather protection.

    Installation Setup Figure 2–2. Model 5028i Side View—inches [millimeters] It is also important to locate the roof flange installation in vertical alignment with the inlet of the instrument. By reviewing the top view drawing of the instrument (Figure 2–2), the roof flange must be centered in direct alignment with the 5/8-inch OD tube entering the 5028i instrument.

  • Page 45: Sample Tube Extension Lengths

    Installation Setup dry run by attaching the heated sample tube on top of the 5028i base. If the heated tube protrudes through the roof flange, either the instrument should be lowered or an elongated PVC sleeve and cap system should cover the heater while maintaining a waterproof seal.
