Trion Tri-Dex ESP User manual

Engineered Solutions For Clean Air
Tri-Dex is a heavy duty, concentrated alkaline liquid
detergent formulation developed specifically for
removal of stubborn airborne deposits that coat
exposed ionizing/collecting elements of elec-
tronic air cleaners. Deposits to be removed include
tars from tobacco smoke, dirt, grease, dust and
other tenacious particulate matter which ordinarily
are difficult to penetrate and make soluble with
other common commercial detergents.
Applications
• Electronic Air Cleaners
• Air Conditioning Coils
• Aluminum Parts
• Pre-filters
• Range Hoods, Fans
• Registers, Dampers, Floors
• Stoves, Ovens, Grills
Application Guidelines
Detergent: Used For:
Tri-Dex ESP 1000 General Purpose Cleaning
Tri-Dex ESP 5000 Difficult Cleaning
Tri-Dex ESP 9000 Heavy Duty Cleaning
How It Works
An electronic air cleaner is designed to trap
airborne particulate matter as it passes through
a series of alternately charged aluminum plates.
Periodically, these collecting components
must be washed to remove these deposits so
the air cleaner can continue to operate at designed
efficiencies. Some small ionizing/collecting cells
may be removed for periodic manual cleaning;
however, most modular ionizing collecting cells for
commercial, industrial, and marine air cleaners are
designed with integral washing systems. Typically,
a metered flow of liquid detergent and hot water
is added during this cleaning cycle.

Methods of Use
Due to the varying types and amounts of soil loading, cleaning
procedures vary from application to application. Therefore,
some trial and error may be required to establish optimum
cleaning procedures.
Generally, washing with hot, high pressure water (not to
exceed 150˚F) and Tri-Dex produces best results. Recom-
mended use is to dilute Tri-Dex with water in a range from one
part ESP detergent to 10-20 parts of water.
Where deposits are particularly heavy and tenacious, a
concentrated solution of one part detergent to ve parts water
can be initially applied to wet and penetrate deposits. This
solution should be allowed to remain from two to ten minutes
followed with clear water rinse. Where available, use of hot
water and high pressure cleaning equipment is required for
optimum cleaning eciency.
CAUTION:Tri-Dex contains strong alkaline silicates. Concentrated Tri-Dex may cause
skin irritation or damage to eyes. It is harmful if swallowed. Therefore, avoid contact
with clothing, skin and eyes and do not take internally. In case of contact with skin,
ush exposed surface immediately with water for 15 minutes and get immediate
medical attention. If swallowed, drink large quantities of water or milk. Call
physician immediately. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
