From a Leader in Clean Air Technology
Trion, a leading global manufacturer and marketer of
indoor air quality products, designed the world’s first
air cleaner for the U.S. Navy nuclear submarine fleet
in 1947. Since then, Trion has continued to provide
advanced and specialized air cleaning systems for a
wide range of applications in the commercial and
industrial markets.

Cartridge Air Cleaning
Dirty Air
Dirty Air
Contaminated air is drawn through high-efficiency
cartridge filters, where the particulate is collected on
the outside of the media. Filtered air is pulled through
the system and exhausted. Standard units feature
Venturi reverse pulse cleaning systems to enhance
filter life.

Air Boss Advantages
High-Performance Cartridges. With a 99% efficiency
rating for submicron (.5) particulate, extra-large
circular filters are vertically oriented for uniform dust
loading and efficient cleaning.
Efficiency. Many competitors’ products operate
with a high level of re-entrainment, which means
that energy and filter life are wasted by repeatedly
collecting the same dust. Air Boss patented
downflow/vertical design ensures consistent filtration
and efficient dust handling from capture to disposal.
Size Availability. Air Boss is designed with a full
range of capacities for a vast array of applications.
From the DC-2 with (2) cartridges to DC-128 with
(128) cartridges, every Air Boss has the media
capacity and optimal filtering velocity for every
type of contaminant and process.
Powerful Cleaning. The patented venturi-assisted
design optimizes reverse jet pulse cleaning and
increases filter life. With four available methods to
initiate the cleaning cycle, every Air Boss collector
is equipped with the control system that best fits
the application.
Space Economy. The downflow/ vertical design
has a smaller footprint than comparable units with
horizontal filters.
Improved Fan Operation. Venturi and innovative
cylindrical fan housing increases performance,
reduces noise, simplifies maintenance and eliminates
the need for a discharge damper.
Rock-Solid Construction. Air Boss is built for
durability and reliability with 11-gauge steel fabrication
and welded seams/ joints. Air Boss units are designed
and tested for Seismic Zone 4.
Easy Maintenance. Outstanding design features
combine to promote long filter life. Easy access
allows each filter to be changed in several minutes.
Dust Collection Efficiency:
Problem. The #1 challenge to dust collection efficiency is re-entrainment – dust collected is stirred up and has
to be filtered all over again. The goal is to dislodge the dust and allow it to settle in a hopper below and not
be redeposited on the filters.

How Downflow/Vertical Systems Operate
Downflow Inlet
Cartridge Filters
Dust Settling Area
Venturi
Contaminated air enters the collector above the filter
cartridges. Specially designed components in the
cabinet uniformly distribute the contaminated air
across the top of the filters. The contaminated air
flows downward without the detrimental velocity
spikes that are common with competitive designs.
Dust is conveyed to the settling area below the filters
by both air movement and gravity. The extremely small
particulate is collected on the filter media, allowing
clean air to return to the workplace. Once particulate
collection is sufficient to reduce airflow, the patented
reverse jet pulse cleaning system is initiated to
propel the collected dust off the filters and into the
settling area.
Pulse Jets
Cylindrical Fan Housing
Downflow
Venturi
Air Boss’ downflow/ vertical design has zero velocity
at the base of each filter stack, allowing dust to
settle uninhibited below the cartridges, thereby
eliminating re-entrainment.
Venturi Reverse Pulse Cleaning is the quick release of
pressure through a blowtube into a venturi enductor
tube into a cartridge filter. A higher volume of air is
induced via this principle. The resulting burst of com-
pressed air is more equally dispersed across the filter
resulting in greater cleaning effectiveness compared to
standard reverse pulse cleaning.
Cartridge Filters
The standard 100% cellulose cartridge media is
high in resin content for mechanical resilience and
has pleat-lock construction. Standard cartridges are
rated for temperatures up to 160° F – high temperature
cartiridges are available.
Pulse Jets
Pulse jet performance and economy are maximized by
optimizing the orifice size and position. There are four
methods of initiating jet pulse cleaning to best fit the
end user’s needs.
Dust Settling
The Air Boss design allows larger dust contaminants
to have a clear path to the settling area and finer dust
to be collected by the filters.
Cylindrical Fan Housing
The motor, fan and full-length venturi are packaged
into a tubular centrifugal fan arrangement for
greater performance, quieter operation and
simplified maintenance.
Solution. With Air Boss’ patented downflow/ vertical airflow technology, re-entrainment and its effects have been
minimized for maximum efficiency and filter life. Carefully managed inlet velocity ensures that the air only flows
downward, never up or sideways. This prevents air movement below the cartridges, where the dust has settled,
and facilitates effective cleaning, both when the collector is operating and when it is shut down.
