How the air

First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the

cleaner works

prefilter. Then, as the dirty air passes through

 

the intense high voltage electric field

 

surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles, even

 

the smallest particles down to 0.5 microns, are

 

given an electric charge. The air then passes

 

into the collector where the alternate parallel

 

plates are charged positive and negative,

 

creating a uniform electrostatic field. The

 

charged particles stick to the collector plates.

 

The air leaving the air cleaner contains very

 

few particles.

 

Each time the air circulates through the heating/

 

air conditioning system and air cleaner, more

 

particles are removed. These particles are

 

generated by normal household activities, and

 

also enter the house from outside. That is why

 

we recommend that you use the air cleaner as

 

much as possible.
