SECTION I DESIGN

FOR THE SYSTEM DESIGN ENGINEER

1. Introduction

ATS units are Air Treatment Systems designed to efficiently remove a variety of contaminants from an air stream. These contaminants my range from those found in normal kitchen ventilation air to weld fumes or oils and effluents from various manufacturing processes. A range of units is available to clean specific air volumes.

Each unit is made up of mechanical and electronic “dirt” collecting modules and efficient, trouble free operation is absolutely dependent upon the periodic removal of the collected contaminate from the cleaning elements. Unit design simplifies this requirement.

When properly installed, operated and maintained, the ATS unit will effectively and efficiently perform its designed task.

2. General Description

The standard major components supplied with each ATS unit are as follows:

•Base unit consisting of five modular sections: 1) impinger, 2) electronic air cleaner 3) bag type media filter 4) activated carbon adsorber and 5) blower/motor.

•Washer control including high voltage power supply(s) to be mounted remotely.

•Detergent system to be located remotely.

•Wash water supply-line strainer.

The impinger section contains impinger panels to collect grease and liquid particulate, oscillating front and rear wash manifolds and metal mesh pre-filters (and after- filter when specified).

The electronic air cleaner section contains the ionizing- collecting cells to remove very fine particles; oscillating front and rear wash manifolds and metal mesh pre- filters and after-filters.

When a factory installed fire suppression system is specified, both the impinger and electronic air cleaner sections include spray nozzles. Fire control is usually required in kitchen exhaust and similar applications.

The media section contains bag type filters providing safety filtration for the electronic air cleaner in the event of any accumulated blow-off or contaminant penetration in the event of an electrical outage.

For odor control, the adsorber section contains the activated carbon panels in a vee bank configuration.

With the exception of the wash manifolds and the blower/motor, all the major components slide in and out of the housing for ease of service.

To provide access to the system components (except the blower section), gasketed doors with push-button latches and lift-off hinges are located 90 degrees to the direction of airflow on one side of the cabinet. Access preference should be noted when unit is ordered. Access to the blower section is obtained by removing the bolts retaining the discharge end panel.

The power supplies providing the necessary high voltage for the electronic air cleaner and the controls initiating and sequencing the wash cycle are housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure designed for remote mounting. In addition, the enclosure is a central junction for the primary wiring.

The standard 16-gallon detergent system is furnished as a completely assembled unit to be piped directly to the wash water supply, into the wash manifold headers.

Note: 30 or 55-gallon detergent tanks are available as an option.

Note: Trion Tridex Detergent is specially formulated for

use with Trion electronic air cleaners. Use of other cleaners and detergents, not specifically approved by Trion, can cause possible failures in the unit and will void any warranties on our equipment.

The strainer is to be installed in the wash water supply line. Factory installed solenoid valves are located in the piping inside the impinger and the electronic air cleaner sections.

An optional chemical fire suppression system may be specified to be included with the ATS unit if it is a requirement of the application. The system available from the factory must be completed at the installation site by a qualified and authorized fire control contractor. In addition to final hook-up, he will complete tie-in with other existing systems, test, final inspect and if necessary, coordinate his work with local or other designated fire inspectors. The fire suppression system includes strategically located, spray nozzles and an electrical fire detection device to signal a control head that opens a valve to discharge a chemical cylinder. An auxiliary mechanical “Pull” is also supplied to be installed at a remote location to manually activate the system. The general contractor should coordinate his work with that required by the fire control contractor. Refer to fire control system outline drawing, Figure 7.

The following are standard options that may be specified on the basic systems:

1.Without carbon section

2.Without media section*

3.Without carbon and media sections

4.Without blower section

5.Additional electronic air cleaner section (double pass unit)

6.30 or 55 gallon detergent system

7.Perforated plate in lieu of the metal mesh filters

8.Fire suppression system
