The TE-5001-6 shelter top pan serves as the foundation component for Tisch Environmental's TE-5001 anodized aluminum TSP shelter systems. This precision-manufactured aluminum top pan provides the structural base that houses the blower motor assembly, filter holder, and instrumentation within TSP samplers designed for collecting particles of 100 microns (Stokes Equivalent Diameter) and smaller, including heavy metals and larger particulates.
Technical Design
Constructed from anodized aluminum for superior corrosion resistance and durability in outdoor ambient air monitoring environments. The pan integrates with the complete shelter assembly to provide weather protection while maintaining proper ventilation and access for routine maintenance. Houses critical components including the TE-5004 filter holder, TE-5005 blower motor assembly, and flow measurement instrumentation.
System Compatibility
This top pan is specifically designed for use with:
- TE-5001 Anodized Aluminum TSP Shelter, Solid Front, With Gabled Lid
- TE-5001-H Anodized Aluminum TSP Shelter, Front with Square Hole for MFC
- TE-5170-D TSP MFC sampler systems
- Other Tisch Environmental TSP high volume air sampling configurations
Compatible shelter components include TE-5001-2 (shelter back), TE-5001-3 (shelter left side), TE-5001-4 (shelter right side), and TE-5001-8 (shelter timer bracket).
Installation and Maintenance
The top pan requires proper alignment with other shelter components during assembly. For 110V installations, provides mounting points for power transformers using supplied hardware. Regular inspection should focus on structural integrity and proper sealing to prevent moisture infiltration that could affect sensitive instrumentation.
EPA Compliance Applications
Supports ambient air monitoring to determine suspended particulate levels relative to air quality standards. TSP sampling systems utilizing this shelter component comply with EPA reference methods for Total Suspended Particulate measurement, enabling accurate assessment of airborne particulate concentrations in compliance monitoring programs.
