Abstract
A constant flow of air through a personal air sampler is provided regardless of changes in the air flow path, by altering the pump speed as a function of the power taken by the pump. The characteristics of the pump are precalibrated to provide a constant used together with the square of the voltage appearing across the motor armature coils (applied voltage minus back Emf), which reflects the power currently used, to adjust the motor speed and thus provide a constant flow of air under changing conditions of resistance.
