Description
Terra's IonBar™ uses pairs of ion emitters to generate a balanced stream of positive and negative ions, safely
neutralizing electrostatic surface charges to protect sensitive devices. Available in lengths of 11", 22", 33" or 44",
these bars are designed for installation in a laminar air stream, which distributes the positive and negative up to 48"
from the emitter tips (see "Specifications" for static decay rates).
Because the IonBar™ operates at low voltage (24 VAC), it is safe to operate and generates minimal RFI/EMI. The
PVC case contains the low-voltage power supply and titanium emitters, which can be replaced in a matter of minutes.
NOTE
For effective operation, the IonBar™ should be mounted in a laminar airflow traveling at least 50
fpm (90 fpm recommended for effective particle control).
Configurations
The IonBar™ is available in three application-specific configurations to simplify setup:
IonBar™ for Fan/Filter Units (User Installed)
IonBar™ for Gloveboxes (Preinstalled; includes fan module)
IonBar™ for Laminar Flow Hoods (Preinstalled)
IonBars™ can also be purchased individually and installed by the user in the desired application. An installation kit
with standard FFU mounting brackets is sold separately and includes the power supply transformer.
NOTE
For installation in a hood, the overall hood width should be at least 2" greater than the length of
the desired IonBar™.
