6. Pre-cooled treated fresh air for energy efficiency
Pre-Cooling Units (PCU)
Treated fresh air solutions for make-up fresh air cooling
Some amount of fresh air needs to be pumped into air-conditioned spaces to maintain a required level of IAQ (Indoor
Air Quality). Similarly, for various process requirements (once-through applications), 100% fresh and conditioned air is
required. HMX-PCU uses the heat exchanger DAMA to pre-cool the fresh air supplied to treated fresh air units (TFA),
air-conditioned spaces or air handling units in the most economical manner, thereby reducing the load on the
compressors. It can be used in air conditioned industrial and commercial spaces.

16. Ionised air for dust and static charge removal
Ionising blower, nozzle, air gun and air knife
The pain area: Inadequate cleaning using only forced air
The auto industry normally uses forced air – either from a high-pressure centrifugal blower or an air compressor to clean
plastic components before they enter a paint or a coat station.
At the point of use, air knives or air nozzles are used provide air at a very high velocity, to achieve blow-off cleaning of the
plastic component. Most often, just air is not adequate; static charges on the component prevent effective removal of dust
particles.
The solution: Ionised air
A.T.E. has a range of static charge eliminators which are used with the air knife or the air nozzle. The result is high
velocity ionised air which comprises free floating positive and negative ions. The ions remove the static charges, thereby
loosening the dust particles from the plastic components, making it relatively easy for the air velocity to do the rest –
complete blow-off cleaning.
The result is a plastic component free of dust and static charges, making the paint or coat finish more appealing and with
near-zero rejects.
▪ Ensure static-free plastic
components to prevent
clinging of dust and foreign
particles on surfaces before
painting
▪ Avoid shocks due to static
charge accumulation on
plastic components
