THE ADVANTAGE COUNTS
Description
The BT-300 was designed to remove ethylene from
cold rooms and storage areas where fruits and
vegetables are stored, extending the life of the stored
produce. See picture 1. System will handle 300
cubic meters. It is designed to hang from the ceiling
and operate continuously. The BT-300 is also remote
controlled for ease of operation.
The air is first pulled into the Generation Chamber
where it passes through a particle filter to remove any
dust or foreign matter. The air then goes through a
microbial filter. This filter will destroy 99.9% of the
bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, algae and other one
celled organisms that cause odors, spoilage and rot.
The air with ethylene then enters the ozone
generation area where it mixes with ozone. The air
mixed with ozone and ethylene then enters the
Reaction Chamber where the ethylene will have
contact time with the ozone. This is necessary to
remove the ethylene from the air.
After the ozone has removed the ethylene in the
Reaction Chamber, the ozone enters the Catalytic
Converter. Here, a special catalyst will deplete the
remaining ozone. Clean air is then expelled through
the controller.
System Placement
The Bio Turbo 300 was designed to mount as high as
possible in the cold room. Ethylene is lighter than air
so it will rise toward the ceiling.
Note: Due to the size of the Bio Turbo system,
installation is much easier with two technicians.
The large Reaction Chamber should be mounted
first. Inspect the ceiling for any obstructions, pipes
and wiring before drilling any holes. Also consider an
electrical receptacle to power the system. Mark the
two holes for the Reaction Chamber and drill the
two 3/4 inch holes through the ceiling. Use the two
8 inch bolts with wing nuts, self locking nuts and
washers to attach the Reaction Chamber to the
ceiling. See picture 2.
If supplied fasteners will not work for your
installation, you will need to purchase necessary
hardware locally.
Next, mount the Generation Chamber to the
Reaction Chamber. Ensure the gasket is in place
around the opening on the Generation Chamber.
Use the four locking nuts that were supplied and
attach the two chambers together. Only tighten
these nuts SNUG (4 inch pounds). See picture 3.
