KEY COMPONENT DESCRIPTIONS
•
Pre-filter. A pleated particulate filter that protects and extends the life of the more expensive HEPA filter. The
pre-filter for this unit has an ASHRAE MERV 8 rating.
•
Alternative pre-filter (must be purchased separately) . Carbon pre-filter for capturing low concentrations of
odors, vapors, gases and volatile organic compounds, collectively known as OVG, is also available. Carbon filters
reduce airborne OVG by chemically bonding the OVG molecules to the surface area of the carbon granules, via a
process known as adsorption. This filter can be used in the TRI-KLEEN unit instead of the standard pleated pre-
filter. Note that the standard pre-filter does not capture odors.
•
HEPA Filter (non-UV models). The cylindrical HEPA filter is individually tested and certified to ensure it provides
a minimum efficiency rating of 99.97% when challenged with a 0.3 micron test aerosol at the unit's maximum air
flow rate. This filter has a continuous foam gasket on one end for sealing purposes.
•
HEPA Filter/UV Lamp Assembly (UV models only) . The UV models have the same HEPA filter as the non-UV
models, but the HEPA filter for the UV models have UV lamp integrated into the center of the cylindrical HEPA
filter. Since they are integrated, the lamp and filter must be changed at the same time.
•
Motorized Impeller. The motorized impeller is what creates the air flow - it pulls the air through the pre-filter
and the HEPA filter and pushes the air out of the unit's exhaust.
•
LCD (Liquid Cristal Display) Touch Screen Controls. This unit comes equipped with a LCD touch screen that
enables to set the speed of the device and view the operating status of the unit.
•
Pre-filter Access Door . Hinged door that lifts up for quick access to the pre-filter.
•
Air Inlet Grille. Air intake located on the front face of the unit.
•
Swivel Casters. The swivel casters allow for the unit to be easily moved from one location to another. The front
two casters are lockable so that the unit can be kept in position after placed in the desired location.
•
HEPA Filter Access Panel. This access panel is located on the bottom of the unit and is secured with Philips head
screws. This panel will need to be removed in order to change the HEPA filter (and UV lamp, if applicable).
•
HEPA filter retaining bracket. This bracket secures the HEPA filter in place.
•
Cord wrap. Wrap the cord around this fixture during transport or storage to ensure the cord does not get
damaged or cause a trip hazard.
•
Air Exhaust. A 12" x 8" (30.5 cm x 20.3 cm) exhaust grille is located on the top of the unit.
•
Sound Baffle. This sound baffle is installed on top of the unit over the air exhaust at the factory and helps
reduce noise in applications where the unit is used to recirculate the air. If the unit is used in negative/positive
pressure applications, this baffle will need to be removed in order for ducting to be attached to the unit.
Important Note : Do not operate the unit TRI-KLEEN unless the pre-filter and HEPA filter are installed, and the lower
cover of filter access and panel are in place and closed.
