INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The MPRS1000 Sourcer is a self-contained
Electronic Air Cleaner comprised of a two-part
collecting cell, an electrical compartment, two blower
and motor assemblies, complete cabinet housing, a
flex arm (direct capture system), prefilter and an
after filter or optional carbon filter.
HOW IT WORKS
The MPRS1000 Sourcer operates on the principle of
“Electrostatic Precipitation”. Airborne pollutants are
drawn in though the direct capture arm and first pass
through to the prefilter, where large particles are
caught. Next, smaller particles move to a two-stage
electrostatic collecting cell where they are given a
powerful positive charge by the ionizing wires.
Charged particles then move into the collecting area
where they are attracted to a series of alternately
charged and grounded plates. Pollutants are held on
the plates like a magnet until washed away during
cleaning. Clean air is then dispersed from the top of
the unit.
MAJOR COMPONENTS
CABINET
The cabinet is built of heavy gauge steel finished in a
scratch-resistant electrostatic powder coated finish.
There is an access door (interlocked) on the unit to
service the ionizer, cell and filters. There is a
separate removable panel to access the motor/
blower section.
PREFILTERS
The washable prefilter, measuring 16 x 20 in. (40.6 x
50.8 cm), is constructed of multi-layers of aluminum
mesh for maximum filtration of large particles.
AFTER FILTER
The after filter, measuring 16 x 20 in. (40.6 x 50.8
cm), is constructed of multi-layers of aluminum mesh
for filtration of agglomerated dust, and to maintain
back pressure.
COLLECTING CELL
The two part collecting cell includes support
brackets, collecting plates, support tubing, insulators,
end plates, spring contact, carrying handles, and
separate ionizing section (ionizing wires, ionizing
wire support).
MOTOR & BLOWER
Two AC motorized centrifugal impellers are utilized
to draw air evenly across the face of the cell. The
single inlet blower wheels are backward curved,
measuring 9 in. diameter by 4 in. wide (22.9 x 10.2
cm). The energy efficient, ball bearing fan motors
draw only 185 watts each.
ELECTRICAL COMPARTMENT
The removable power box contains the safety
interlock, system and high voltage switches, high
voltage power board and performance indicator light.
The power board is an open printed circuit board
with an adjustable output. The direct current output
is 10,000 volts @ 3.5 mA. The board is fused at 1.5
amps. A large value bleed off resistor allows the
high voltage to dissipate from the cell when the unit
has been turned off, to prevent shock.
Quick disconnects on the board allow for easy
removal for troubleshooting or repairs.
The
Performance Indicator Light should be on during
normal operation.
The light will flicker with arcing in
the cell or extinguish if the cell, ionizer or power
board is shorted.
Certified for shock and electrical fire hazard only.
