The TRION Mist Arrestor, 3-Stage Mist Collector, is a sophisticated air filtration system designed for commercial and industrial applications. Its primary function is to remove various contaminants from the air, including smoke, airborne dirt, grease, mist, and moisture, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment. The system is engineered to handle particles ranging from as small as 0.03 microns to larger airborne particulate matter.
The core of the Mist Arrestor's operation lies in its three-stage filtration process. When the unit is powered on, a direct-drive centrifugal blower draws air through these filter sections. The first stage involves a washable 12-layer coalescing prefilter. This prefilter is highly efficient, capturing and agglomerating contaminants that are 2 microns in size and larger, transforming them into larger particles, typically 10 microns or more. This initial step is crucial for extending the life of subsequent filters.
Following the prefilter, the air moves to the second stage, which features a washable 7-layer coalescing secondary filter. Here, the already agglomerated contaminants and mist are further collected and coalesced. These larger particles are then drained off through a dedicated drain connection in the cabinet, preventing buildup and maintaining filtration efficiency. This stage plays a vital role in protecting the final filter from premature loading.
The third and final stage of filtration is handled by a Mini-Pleat Extended Surface Filter. This filter is designed for final air polishing and boasts a 98% ASHRAE efficiency, ensuring that the air returned to the room is exceptionally clean. After passing through all three stages, the purified air is discharged back into the environment by the blower.
For optimal performance, the unit is equipped with a manometer gauge, which is a standard feature. This gauge allows users to monitor the pressure drop across the filters, providing a clear indication of when filter maintenance or replacement is necessary. Filter change gauges are supplied with the unit, making it easy to track filter condition.
Installation of the TRION Mist Arrestor is designed to be flexible. The unit can be floor-mounted, deck-mounted, or suspended using chains or threaded rods and a trapeze frame (supplied by others). Regardless of the mounting method, it is imperative that the supporting structure can adequately bear the weight of the complete system to prevent damage or injury. The unit includes three horizontal cabinet crossmember rails positioned at load-bearing planes, extending from front to back of the cabinet, to facilitate suspension mounting. For maximum air cleaning efficiency, the unit's placement should be determined in consultation with a local TRION representative. All installations must conform to local building and electrical codes, or the National Electrical Code if no local codes exist.
The electrical wiring for the blower compartment is factory-configured for 460/60/3 input power and includes an externally mounted junction box. The motor voltage can be adjusted to 208 or 230/60/3 at the motor junction box. A unit data label, provided in the literature package, should be marked for the application voltage and affixed near the junction box. It's important to note that motor starters are not included with the unit but can be offered as an accessory for field or remote mounting. All wiring must comply with local National Electrical Codes.
Upon initial startup, after all wiring is complete, users should turn on the unit at the motor starter and observe the rotation of the blower wheel. Correct rotation can be verified by comparing the wheel's rotation during coast down with the direction label located inside the final filter access door. If the rotation is backward, switching any two legs of the input voltage can correct it to ensure proper airflow.
Maintenance is a key aspect of ensuring the longevity and efficient operation of the TRION Mist Arrestor. The prefilters and secondary filters are washable and designed for many years of reuse. Cleaning can be accomplished using a low-pressure cleaning device with detergents or by soaking them in a detergent bath, followed by rinsing. After cleaning, the filters should be reinstalled, and the pressure reading should return to near the initial reading. The final mini-pleat filter, however, is not washable and must be replaced when dirty. Users should establish a filter cleaning pattern based on the manometer readings, cleaning the washable filters when their pressure drop reaches the recommended final reading and replacing the final filter when it reaches its recommended final reading. Failure to replace filters at the specified readings will lead to a progressive loss of airflow and reduced efficiency.
For safety during maintenance, it is crucial to always disconnect the power source before working on or near the motor or its wiring assembly. If the power disconnect point is out of sight, it should be locked in the proper position and tagged to prevent unexpected power application.
The filters are easily accessible through side access doors, allowing for simple and fast replacement. The blower compartment also features side access doors and bolt-on panels at the end of the unit for full access to the blower and motor. During cabinet inspection, after removing dirty components, all foreign debris and dirt accumulation inside the cabinet should be removed. The blower wheel blades should be checked for dirt buildup and cleaned if necessary. All wiring should be inspected for loose connections and cracked insulation. Bearings on the blower motor should be checked for unusual wear. Motors with oil cups require periodic inspection and lubrication with SAE-20 non-detergent motor oil every six months, while motors with ball bearings do not require lubrication. Rubber gasketing should be inspected twice a year, as aging due to ozone can cause hardening, cracking, and loss of seal.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided to help users address common issues. Before troubleshooting, users should consult the wiring diagram (located inside the motor junction box) to check for proper wiring connections, input line voltage, and the presence of input power. For any issues that cannot be resolved through the provided troubleshooting steps, users are advised to contact their local TRION representative. Replacement parts can be ordered by referring to the provided part numbers and descriptions, either through a local TRION representative or directly from TRION, Inc.
The TRION Mist Arrestor is a robust and reliable system, but like all precision equipment, it requires a minimum amount of maintenance to ensure good operating condition. Users can perform normal preventative maintenance, or a local TRION representative can offer maintenance and cleaning contracts for added convenience.
