T-Storm 3000 Ambient Air Cleaner

Diversitech’s T-Storm 3000 Ambient Air Cleaneris engineered to capture dust, smoke, and other airborne particulates using a high-efficiency 3-stage filtration system, including MERV 7 prefilters, a MERV 8 panel filter, and MERV 14 primary multi-pocket bag filters. Its signature T-style airflow design draws contaminated air through the sides and exhausts clean air outward, creating a continuous circular airflow pattern throughout the workspace. This ensures fast, efficient air cleaning and consistent air exchange across your facility. Constructed with a durable powder-coated steel frame, the T-Storm 3000 is built for industrial environments. Its modular design allows multiple units to be combined in double or quad configurations, increasing total filter media capacity and overall system performance. Installation is simple and flexible, with options for wall mounting or chain suspension, making it easy to integrate into any workspace. Ideal applications include: welding smoke and fumes, wood dust, oil mist, machining smoke, and grinding dust.

How to..

+ Set up your T-Storm 3000 Ambient Air Cleaner for the first time

Before You Begin

The system’s weight must be taken into account when choosing the proper installation method. Follow all applicable building and electrical codes. Mounting materials must be able to support the weight of the air cleaner plus weight of the material collected. Consult local building code for proper installation methods and materials.

Installation

There are three main ways of installing your T-Storm Ambient Air Cleaner:

Chain Hanging (eye bolts factory installed as option)
Rod & Cradle
Angle Braces

+ Perform Routine Maintenance

For optimal performance, routine maintenance is highly recommended. Do the following:

Vacuum dirt accumulations in and around vent openings. (Dirt accumulations can cause motor overheating and a fire hazard.)
Clean enclosed motors with an air jet (wear eye protection).
Periodically inspect the installation. Check for:
- dirt accumulation
- unusual noises or vibration
- overheating
- worn or loose couplings, sheaves and belts
- high motor current
- poor wiring or overheated connections
- loose mounting bolts or guards
- worn motor starter contacts.
Dayton ball-bearing motors without lubrication provision do not require periodic relubrication. Where motor has provision for bearing lubrication, lubricate as follows:
1. After stopping motor and disconnecting power, thoroughly wipe the housing around both of the motor bearings, filler and drain plugs (on TEFC) ratings, remove fan cover for access to plugs).
2. Remove filler and drain plugs and install a 1/8” pipe thread lube fitting in filler hole.
3. Using a low pressure grease gun, pump new grease into motor until it appears at the drain hole.
4. Run motor for several minutes to discharge excess grease. Shut motor OFF, replace filler and drain plugs, and reinstall fan cover.

Troubleshooting

+ My Unit's Motor Doesn't Turn On

When the motor on your T-Storm Ambient Air Cleaner doesn’t turn on, try the following:

You may have a blown fuse.
- Replace with time-delay fuses.
- Check for grounded winding.
The voltage may be too low at motor terminals due to line drop. Consult local power company.
- Increase wire gauge.
- Check for poor connections.
The overload in motor start may have been tripped.
- Check and reset overload relay in starter.
- Check heater rating against motor nameplate current rating.
Overload (internal thermal protector) may have been tripped.
- Check motor load.
- If motor has an automatic or manual reset thermal protector, check if tripped.
Improper line connections.
- Check connections against diagram supplied with motor.
Check to see if the motor is overloaded.
- Reduce load or increase motor size.
Check the motor or starter to see if defective.
- Repair or replace motor.

+ My Motor Stalls During Operation

Check if the motor is overloaded. If so, reduce load. Otherwise, you may need to upgrade your motor size.
Check the motor voltage as it may be too low. Verify that nameplate voltage is maintained.

+ My Motor Vibrates or is Excessively Loud

When your T-Storm unit’s motor vibrates or is excessively noisy, check the following:

Check the motor shaft to see if it’s misaligned. Realign if needed.
The 3-phase motor may be running on single phase.
- Check for open circuit, blown fuses or unbalanced voltages.
Voltage may be high or unbalanced.
- Check wiring connections. Consult local power company.
The bearings may be worn, damaged, dirty or overloaded.
- Replace bearings.
- Check loading and alignment.
Check winding to see if it’s defective. Check the shaft to see if it’s bent or bowed. Repair or replace.
Check for a loose sheave or misaligned coupling. Tighten set screw(s); realign coupling.

+ Airflow is Insufficient

If you find the airflow being generated by your T-Storm unit is insufficient, check for the following possible causes:

The blower speed may be too low. Check for correct drives.
Check to see if the dampers or registers are closed. If so, open them.
Inspect filters to see if they are dirty or clogged. Clean or replace them if neccessary.
Check for leaks in duct work. Repair if neccessary.
Check for elbows, cabinet walls, or other obstructions and correct if neccessary.
Check for belt slippage. Adjust or replace belts if neccessary.

Frequently asked questions

How the T-Storm Works

Diversitech’s T-Storm draws dirty air from both sides of the unit and passes it through a 3-stage filtration system, featuring two prefilter stages and a final MERV 14 bag filter. Clean filtered air is then exhausted from the front of the unit at high velocity towards adjacent T-Storm units. T-Storms are typically arranged in a staggered layout along the perimeter of the plant to ensure a circular airflow pattern between units. This maximizes coverage and ensures consistent air quality throughout the entire workspace.
T-Storm ambient units can be wall-mounted, column-mounted, or chain-hung using eyebolts attached to building trusses.

For heavier applications, the T-Storm X2 doubles the filtration media, making it ideal for shops with higher smoke levels. This extended filter capacity reduces maintenance frequency and decreases downtime.

Case Study

Diemo Machine Works, a 140-employee fabrication shop in Manitoba, faced serious air quality issues from welding smoke and metal dust.After an on-site assessment, Diversitech installed multiple StormTower Pro units in their heavy-duty carbon steel welding cell, delivering high-capacity airflow, VFD-driven performance, and consistent clean air across the facility.

“Our previous system was outdated and ineffective, so we researched and implemented a solution that truly works. Ultimately, we wanted consistent air quality across the facility – so everyone, from welders on the floor to office staff, breathes the same clean air.”
– Allan Friesen, Director, Strategic Initiatives & Procurement, Diemo
