SMOG-HOG Electrostatic Precipitator PCN Series
1. Introduction
1.1 Description and Operation
The Smog-Hog PCN is a portable electronic air cleaner designed to eliminate particulate as it is generated.
Contaminant is captured at its source by a unit-mounted hood, then conveyed through a duct network to
the precipitator where it is collected. Clean air is then re-circulated back to the work area.
As air approaches the precipitator, it passes though a reusable, aluminum mesh mechanical pre-filter
which aids air distribution and removes large particles.
Pre-filtered air then passes through an ionizer where particles are charged by corona discharge from
a series of small diameter charged tungsten wires centered between grounded plates. Particles then
pass through a collection cell, consisting of alternately charged and grounded parallel aluminum plates.
Charged plates at the same polarity as the charged particles repel the particles toward the grounded
plates which, in turn, attract the particles. Air next passes through a centrifugal blower where it is
exhausted vertically through an adjustable outlet grille, back to the work space.
An integrally mounted power pack converts 115 volt, single-phase AC power to the high voltage DC
required for ionizer and collection cell operation.
1.2 Electrical Characteristics
The unit is rated for 115 VAC (volts alternating current), single phase, 60 Hz operation, or 3 phase.
It has a 10´ power cord with grounded plug and internal high voltage wiring.
