  • Publication number: 20120325023
    Abstract: A system and method for sampling air in a controlled environment having air sampling devices therewithin. A controller, outside the controlled environment, in separate flow communication with each sampling device via first vacuum tubes, and having a manifold for directing air from the first vacuum tubes to one or more second vacuum tubes. A vacuum source outside the controlled environment, in flow communication with the controller via the second vacuum tube(s), providing suction, and being controlled by the controller to generate flow through the first vacuum tubes. A flow switch between each sampling device and the vacuum source, for measuring and controlling the flow rate through a corresponding first vacuum tube. An alarm inside the controlled environment, is activated by a flow switch when the corresponding flow rate deviates from a desired value by a predetermined amount.

  • Patent number: 8169330
    Abstract: A system and method for sampling air in a controlled environment that includes two or more air sampling devices at different locations within the controlled environment. A controller is provided at a location outside of the controlled environment and in separate air flow communication with each of the two or more air sampling devices via separate first vacuum tubes, the controller having a manifold configured to separately control a rate of air flow from the two or more air sampling devices to the controller via each of the separate first vacuum tubes and to selectively direct the air flow from each of the separate first vacuum tubes to one or more second vacuum tubes. A vacuum source is provided at a location outside the controlled environment and in air flow communication with the controller via the one or more second vacuum tubes, the vacuum source providing suction and being controlled by the controller to generate the air flow through each of the first vacuum tubes.

  • Patent number: 7973668
    Abstract: A system for sampling air in a controlled environment that includes two or more air sampling devices at different locations within the controlled environment. A controller is provided at a location outside of the controlled environment and in separate air flow communication with each air sampling devices via separate first vacuum tubes. A ffow switch for each of the air sampling devices is provided at a location between a corresponding air sampling device and the vacuum source, each of the flow switches being configured to separately measure and control the rate of air flow through a corresponding first vacuum tube. An alarm is automatically activated at a location inside the controlled environment by one or more of the flow switches when the rate of air flow measured at one or more of the flow switches deviates from a desired value by a predetermined amount.
