The TE-5001-2 shelter back panel is a precision-machined anodized aluminum component designed for the TE-5001 shelter assembly used in Tisch Environmental's high volume air samplers. This back panel forms part of the complete TE-5001 anodized aluminum shelter system that houses TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 sampling equipment in outdoor environments.
Compatibility
The TE-5001-2 back panel is compatible with all TE-5001 aluminum shelter configurations, including complete sampler systems such as the TE-5170DV-BL VFC TSP sampler, TE-5000 High Volume TSP Monitor, and TE-PNY1123 MFC PUF sampler. This component works in conjunction with other shelter parts including:
- TE-5001-1 shelter front panel (solid)
- TE-5001-1-H shelter front with hole for mass flow controller
- TE-5001-3 and TE-5001-4 shelter side panels
- TE-5001-10 gabled roof assembly
Construction and Durability
Constructed from anodized aluminum for exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term outdoor performance. The anodized aluminum construction provides proven durability for outdoor service in ambient air monitoring applications. The anodizing process creates a protective oxide layer that withstands harsh environmental conditions including temperature extremes, humidity, and UV exposure.
Installation
The back panel mounts to the shelter assembly using 4-10-24 x 1/2 pan head screws into nutserts. Proper installation ensures secure mounting and maintains the weather-tight seal required for accurate air sampling operations. The shelter system accommodates chain and "S" hook assemblies for securing the lid in open or closed positions during maintenance.
Applications
Essential component for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring stations. The shelter system protects sampling equipment designed for collection of particles of 100 microns (Stokes Equivalent Diameter) and smaller. Used in environmental monitoring applications including regulatory compliance monitoring, industrial emissions assessment, and atmospheric research programs.
