SECTION 1   Description

 

 
The Aerostat XC ionized air blower produces an air flow that is rich in positive and 
negative ions. Directing the air flow on an object that has a static charge will neutralize 
the charge. If the object has a positive static charge, it will draw negative ions from the 
air flow. If the object has a negative static charge, it will draw positive ions from the air 
flow. The ions are attracted to the oppositely charged object and neutralize the 
electrostatic charge on the object. 
 
The Aerostat XC uses a three-speed tangential blower to produce a uniform air flow. 
This air flow is directed into a duct, which shapes the airflow. The duct also contains a 
heater and ionizer. The low-wattage heater can be turned on at any time for user 
comfort. The ionizer uses a transformer which produces high voltage AC. This unit is 
current limited for safety. The transformer output also contains a current limiting resistor 
which provides redundant safety and enhances the ionization stability. The AC is 
applied to a row of stainless steel ion emitters, which results in an intense alternating 
electric field at the tip of the emitters. It is this intense electric field that introduces 
alternating polarity ions into the air flow. The shaped air flow exiting the Aerostat XC 
carries these ions over a broad area for control of electrostatic charge. To ensure that 
the unit is working properly, the output is monitored by an ionization indicator lamp. 
 
The ionizer of the Aerostat XC features an exclusive balancing circuit which works by  
isolating the transformer secondary from electrical ground. This results in the equal 
production of positive and negative ions. The Aerostat XC also features a patented built-
in emitter cleaner. Taking a few seconds to clean the emitters on a weekly basis 
prevents the build-up of airborne debris, keeping your Aerostat XC working in top form 
for the life of the unit.
