EnergyTech 301 Dust Monitor Review

EnergyTech 301 Dust Monitor With Comtech 360 Wireless Control Panel

The EnergyTech 301 Dust Monitor is a device that is used to measure the concentration of dust particles in the air. It is typically used in industrial settings, such as mines, factories, and construction sites, as well as in indoor air quality monitoring applications.
The 301 is particularly useful for dust measurement, using a Tribo (or triboelectric) detector which consists of an in-situ probe to detect particles.

The monitor works by drawing in air through a filter which traps the dust particles. It then measures the weight of the dust on the filter. The monitor uses this measurement to calculate the concentration of dust in the air.

The main benefits of the EnergyTech 301 Dust Monitor include:

  • Ease of installation
  • Real-time data logging
  • Data can be easily analyzed and exported
  • Can be used for compliance monitoring, safety monitoring, and process control
  • It can automatically alert users when dust concentrations exceed a certain threshold or trigger automatic controls
  • It is compact
  • It requires minimal maintenance

Easy Installation

The EnergyTech 301 requires no critical alignment and has no optical surfaces to keep clean. The sensor is easy to install, requiring only a simple probe and is ideal for small duct sizes.

Users can quickly and easily set up the device in the desired location without the need for extensive training or specialized equipment. This can save time and reduce costs associated with installation. Additionally, this enables the monitor to be moved to different locations as needed, which is useful in situations where dust concentrations need to be monitored in multiple areas or where the location of the dust source is changing.

Easy installation also makes it easy for users to add additional monitors to their system as needed to expand the coverage area. Overall, easy installation is a key benefit for the EnergyTech 301 Dust Monitor as it makes it easy for users to deploy the device and start monitoring dust concentrations quickly and with minimal effort.

The monitor can be used in a variety of ducts, ranging from 250mm to 2m.

Real-time data logging

This allows users to continuously monitor dust concentrations in the air and immediately respond to any changes. This is especially important in industrial settings where dust concentrations can fluctuate rapidly and where exposure to high levels of dust can be harmful to workers and equipment. Real-time data logging also allows users to track trends in dust concentrations over time and make adjustments to processes or equipment as needed to reduce dust emissions.

Additionally, real-time data logging can also be useful for compliance purposes, as it allows users to easily document and demonstrate compliance with regulations.

Dust Measurement, Analyzing & Exporting Data

Simple analysis & export features allow users to easily review and understand the dust concentration data collected by the device. This is important because it allows users to identify patterns and trends in the data, which can be used to make adjustments to processes or equipment to reduce dust emissions.

Additionally, simple analyzing and exporting data allows users to generate reports and share data with other stakeholders, such as regulators or other members of their organization. This can be useful for compliance purposes, as it allows users to easily document and demonstrate compliance with regulations.

Furthermore, easy data analysis and export also allows users to make decisions and take actions to improve air quality and protect the health of workers and communities. This can be done using the data that the monitor collected and exported to a spreadsheet or other software for further analysis.

Dust Alarms & Automatic Alerts & Controls

The ability to trigger alarms or automatic controls based on dust concentration is a benefit for the EnergyTech 301 Dust Monitor because it allows users to quickly respond to changes in dust concentrations in real-time. This is especially important in industrial settings where exposure to high levels of dust can be harmful to workers and equipment.

By setting alarm thresholds based on dust concentrations, the monitor can automatically trigger an alarm when dust concentrations exceed a certain level, alerting workers and management to take immediate action to reduce dust emissions. Additionally, this feature allows the monitor to be integrated with other systems, such as ventilation systems, to automatically control the flow of air and reduce dust concentrations when triggered by the alarm. This way, the monitor works as a sensor and an actuator. This can help to reduce workers’ exposure to dust, protect equipment, and improve overall air quality.

Minimal Maintenance

Designed to be installed in situ & left to do its job, minimal maintenance is required to run the device. Infrequent probe cleaning and low installation costs make this technology extremely attractive for dust collector monitoring.
