Ionizer Fan Performance
The static electricity tests were performed by monitoring the level of static electricity voltages
found on the work surface and interior surfaces within the glove box. Static electricity levels were
measured with an AlphaLab™ Surface DC Voltmeter (
http://scientificmeter.com/surface_dc.htm ) .
A DESCO™ Emit Mini Zero Volt Ionizer ( http://www.descoemit.com/ViewProduct.aspx?pid=
50661&h=1323 ) was installed in the glove box. The DESCO ionizer is a dual steady state DC auto
balancing bench top ionizer. The ionizer helps to neutralize static electricity on surrounding
surfaces. The time required by the ionizer to neutralize static electricity will be the shortest when
objects are within 12" to 36" directly in front of the ionizer. The time for neutralization increases as
the distance from the ionizer increases. The time required for sufficient electrostatic decay will also
vary depending upon user application, moisture levels within the supply air and the level of
cleanliness within the glove box interior.
