3.0 In-line Ionizers
The P-2021 Nuclecel
™
In-Line Ionizers neutralize static charges and removes dust and other
foreign particulate by providing a powerful stream of ionized gas across affected parts. They are
designed for applications where high gas pressure and velocity are desirable.
3.1
Installation & Operation
A. The P-2021 Nuclecel ™ In-Line Ionizers can be operated with the flow of gas in either
direction. Mounting connections are 1/8” NPSM (.390”-27) male and female thread.
On the male end an “O”-ring is included for sealing. Provide a suitable mating
connector at the end of the gas supply hose to connect to the ionizer. The In-Line
Ionizer can be attached to a gun handle, manifold, or as part of your production
equipment. See below for optional mounting adapters.
Optional Adapters
Note : Ensure that the gas supply is properly filtered and that attached hoses are clean and
dry. Inquire about filter options. The gas can be air or an inert gas such as nitrogen.
B. Attach the ionizer to the hose fitting and tighten securely. An O-ring is provided on the
threaded end of the cell to seal the connection. If the parts become loosened, apply a
small amount of removable adhesive (Loctite 242) to the threads.
C. When attaching an exit tube on the ionizer, keep the tube length as short as possible and
avoid attaching a very small tube diameter. Long exit tube lengths or very small tube
diameters are not recommended for this will restrict gas flow and reduce ionizer
effectiveness.
D. Apply gas pressure and regulate it to the desired level. Do not exceed an inlet pressure
of 100 psig. A powerful stream of ionized gas will flow over objects and quickly
neutralize electrostatic charges, and remove dust and other foreign particulate clinging
due to static attraction.
