Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first enters

the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint, etc.) are

trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) pass

through these pre-filters and enter the ionizing section (B).

Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical charge.

These charged particles then enter the collecting section

(C). This section consists of a series of aluminum plates

which are alternately charged negative and positive.

The positive charge of the particles cause them to be

repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negative

plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet attracts

iron filings.

Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.

White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)

White Dust (Lint)

An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two major

types of contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds,

Bacteria, etc.) and ➁ Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt and

Smoke particles).

The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic air

cleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the air

stream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice white

dust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets,

cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is not

collected by the air cleaner because it does not contain the

irritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out of

the air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence of

white dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.

Carbon (Charcoal) FiltersCarbon (Charcoal) Filters

Carbon (Charcoal) Filters

Odors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot be

removed by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any other

filtration media designed to remove airborne particles.

However, some gases can be absorbed by an activated

carbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odors

are present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralize

odors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and cigarette

odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters are available for

your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for the charcoal filter

part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoal filters require

replacement. They cannot be washed. While there is no rule

of thumb for how often they should be changed, you can

use your best judgement based on the odors you perceive

in your environment.

Not only is your air cleaner easy to install, it is also easy to

operate and maintain. Its basic components, and their

functions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)

Cabinet Cabinet

Cabinet - mounts to existing duct work and houses the

collecting cells and pre-filters.

Collecting Cells Collecting Cells

Collecting Cells - are made in two sections and perform the

actual collecting of dust, dirt, and other impurities

from the air. They contain the ionizing and collec-

tion sections described above.

Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires

on the air entering side. Each cell must be oriented

with the handles and contact button (Figure 2)

toward the operator.

Pre-filters Pre-filters

Pre-filters - are in two sections which are interchangeable.

They serve as a pre-filter to trap large particles

such as hair and lint before they can enter the cell

sections.

Power Pack- Power Pack-

Power Pack- contains operating and power on lights as well

as the solid state components that convert the 120

volt power supply to the high-voltage, direct current

required for the collecting cell.
