Anodized Aluminum TSP Shelter Front with Square Hole for MFC and Gabled Lid SKU: TE-5001-H

The TE-5001-H is an anodized aluminum TSP shelter assembly designed specifically for Mass Flow Controller (MFC) equipped high volume air samplers. This complete shelter system includes both the front panel with a precisely machined square hole for MFC mounting and the essential gabled lid assembly that protects sampling equipment from environmental elements while maintaining proper aerodynamic particle collection.

Technical Design

The anodized aluminum shelter with gabled roof assembly is designed to allow particulate matter to be drawn onto the filter from all four sides, following EPA reference method specifications outlined in 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B for TSP collection. The rugged construction of the outdoor enclosure allows it to withstand the elements with minimal maintenance.

The integrated square hole in the front panel provides secure mounting for mass flow controllers, specifically designed to accommodate the TE-300-310 Mass Flow Controller systems that use hot wire anemometer probes to automatically adjust motor speed as filters collect particulate.

Key Specifications

• Material: Anodized aluminum construction for corrosion resistance
• Configuration: Front panel with square MFC mounting hole plus gabled lid
• Compatibility: Designed for TSP high volume air samplers
• Aerodynamic design: Optimized geometry favors collection of particles up to 25-50 µm aerodynamic diameter

System Compatibility

This shelter assembly is specifically designed for TSP sampling systems equipped with Mass Flow Controllers. Complete MFC TSP systems typically include the TE-5001 shelter, blower motor assembly, 8"x10" stainless steel filter holder, mechanical timer, mass flow controller, and elapsed time indicator.

The TE-5001-H differs from the standard TE-5001 solid front shelter by incorporating the square hole necessary for MFC probe insertion and flow monitoring. This configuration is essential for systems requiring automated flow control using hot wire anemometer probes that maintain constant sampling rates as filter loading increases.

EPA Compliance Applications

TSP high volume air samplers using this shelter collect total suspended particulate matter in ambient air at flow rates between 39-60 ft³/min over constant sampling periods, supporting compliance monitoring for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B requirements. The collected samples can be used to determine both concentration and identity of suspended particulates for environmental monitoring, industrial hygiene assessments, and ambient air quality studies.
