Cardiff cleans up

• Cardiff Bus Company has refurbished both its garage and workshops. One of the problems has been the collection of diesel fumes in the workshop area, which are next door to the undercover bus park. Although the fumes were not considered to be a health hazard, they caused irritation to the workshop staff.
Peter Threlfall, principal engineer, explains: "The workshop is mainly used for routine maintenance and MoTs for our fleet of 230 buses.
As vehicle turn-round is swift, fume collection can sometimes reach fairly high levels. In addition, our new workshops which are used for more complex work on engines and gearboxes, are right next to the main parking area and, as a result, suffer from diesel fumes from outside."
So 20 Trion model T102FH electronic air cleaners were installed.
The units feature a pre-filler, which uniformly distributes fume laden air and collects larger pollutant particles. Smaller particles pass through to an electrostatic filter, which incorporates an ionizing section and collector cells.
Cardiff Bus Company says that since installation of the Trion T102 Air Cleaners, the diesel fumes have been virtually unnoticeable.
