Trion SE 800 Smoke Eater Review
If you are looking for a dependable, easy to use and value priced smoke eater for your home, office, bar or restaurant, the Trion electronic air cleaner SE400E or SE800E may be just what you need. These units are the most popular smoke eaters in the extensive BPA product line. These electronic air cleaners are low profile and work for just about any installation application.
The powerful SE800E offers 800 CFM that can provide 10 air changes per hour in a 400 square foot room with a 10 ft. high ceiling. The SE800E has been tested at 95% efficiency; meaning that it removes 95% of smoke, dust, pollen, lint, bacteria and mold. The SE800E is the lowest priced unit that offers 800 CFM. The SE400E is a less powerful version of the 800. It is compact, yet high effective, providing 400 CFM.
Both of these quality air cleaners are easy to install. The SE400E fits neatly into a 2’ x 2’ ceiling tile and the SE800E fits into a 2’ x 4’ ceiling panel. Installation options include semi-recessed, flush mount, and wall mount. These units offer the added convenience of a wall mounted fan speed control. These smoke eaters must be hardwired; therefore, if you are not confident doing the work yourself, you should contact a local electrician for this relatively simple task.
These electronic air cleaners utilize what air quality experts refer to as “Coanda Aerodynamic Principle”. Coanda uses a 360 degree airflow pattern that is the most efficient way to circulate air. The Coanda principle takes advantage of the natural, upward movement of air. Polluted indoor air naturally enters the bottom of the air cleaners and clean air recirculates in all 4 directions. Install the SE400E or SE800E directly overhead in problem areas to capture smoke and particles BEFORE they disperse. This eliminates what is referred to as “dead spots”. These units also provide a nice savings on air conditioning and heating costs as the air is recirculated inside the building, as opposed to being exhausted outside. The coanda airflow patern prevents heavy drafts associated with “pass-thru” air purifiers.
Another cost saving benefit of the SE400E and SE800E is that they are electrostatic precipitators, eliminating costly filter replacement. In this process, charged particles are attached to the oppositely charged collector plates like a magnet. All you have to do is periodically take out the plates, clean them off, let them dry, put them back in and you are set to go.
The best cost savings of these units is the price itself. Right now, you can save at least $500 on the Trion SE800E. For an even bigger value, you can buy 4 of them for less than $1,000 each! That’s $700 off of list price and far below contractor pricing you may find from distributors. Don’t let the low price fool you; these are high performance air purifiers from Trion, an air cleaning division of Fedders Corporation. Fedders, located in New Jersey, is a major worldwide manufacturer of a variety of air quality products; including air conditioners, humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
