Revolutionary Technology
for the New Millennium
During operation, the contaminated air to be cleaned passes
across Trion’s unique spiked ionizer blades which are sup-
ported between flat grounded electrodes. Revolutionary to the
industry, the blades are made of stainless steel that will not
rust or break, thus eliminating costly maintenance time and
replacement costs.
The DC voltage supplied to the blades creates a high intensity
field where the particulate matter in the air becomes electri-
cally charged. The charged particles then pass into a collector
plate section made up of a series of equally spaced parallel
plates. Each alternate plate is charged with the same polarity
as the particles, which repel, while the interleaving plates are
grounded, which attract and collect.
Periodically, depending on the type and amount, the contami-
nant is washed into the cabinet drain basin by an automatic
activated integral washing system that is located on both the
upstream and downstream sides of the ionizing-collecting cell(s).
“U” shaped slide rails are positioned on the air entrance and
exit sides of the module housing. These rails will hold two-inch
metal mesh filter panels or a 40% open perforated plate. The
selection depends on the nature of the contaminant and the
other modules used in the air treatment system.
A programmable logic controller (PLC) and dual voltage solid-
state Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) high voltage DC power
supply are housed in a remote-mounted NEMA 12 enclosure.
The PLC controls the system functions of wash, fire suppression,
and fan on/off. A 7-day clock is standard. The PWM
power supply, which energizes the ionizing-collecting cells, comes
standard with LED indicator lights. Optional door-mounted
meters, which aid in determining cell operating status, are
also available.
In applications requiring extremely high collection efficiency
and low resistance to air flow, two or three electro-
static sections may be placed inline to create a double or
triple pass unit.
Durable, compact cabinetry
When you invest in a Trion ATS, you want it not only to fit your
unique needs, but your individual space as well. And you want
it to last. Trion ATS housings are constructed using 16-gauge
zinc-coated steel. Then all welds and the finished area of welds
are treated with a corrosion- and rust-inhibiting coating to
assure long life. Cabinet finish is completed with a durable
industrial-grade semi-gloss baked-on enamel no less than
3 mil thick. All doors are gasketed to prevent air and water
leakage. Finally, the housing is furnished completely assembled
for easy shipment and installation.
The Impinger Module
The impinger module is an optional part of the ATS system
design. A 2” rail is positioned upstream of the impinger panel
to accommodate a standard 40% free area perforated panel for
heavy, fluid or semi-fluid particulate matter or a metal
mesh prefilter for light oil mist. It also allows for even, dry air
distribution through the filtering sections. The particulate matter
may range in viscosity from that of water to relatively heavy
greases. In heavy loading applications, the liquid particles strike
the impinger, coalesce into droplets and then flow to the drain
pan below, thus eliminating problems with evaporation. If the
particles are of a high viscosity nature that do not readily
flow into the drain pan, they are periodically flushed down
the drain with the integral wash system nozzles located
upstream and downstream of the impinger panel.
The Electrostatic Air Cleaner Module
Electrostatic Air Cleaner Section enables extremely small par-
ticulate matter, “The Fines,” to be removed from an air stream
with relatively no resistance to air flow. This is due to the open
area of the collecting elements. The low resistance is main-
tained from the start to the completion of the collection cycle.
The unit operates in the higher efficiency collection range,
upward of 95% DOP Method, on particles ranging in size from
10 Microns down to 0.01 Microns in size.
