Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen, etc.) passthrough 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 plateswhich are alternately charged negative and positive.The positive charge of the particles cause them to berepelled by the positive plates and attracted to the negativeplates where they are collected . . . just as a magnetattracts iron filings.Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)White Dust (Lint)An Electronic Air Cleaner is designed to collect two majortypes of contaminants: ➀ Irritants (Pollens, Spores, Molds,Bacteria, etc.) and ➁ Black Soiling Contaminants (Dirt andSmoke particles).The residue on the collecting plates of an electronic aircleaner is black, indicating it is removing dirt from the airstream. After installing an air cleaner you may notice whitedust (typically, long linty particles or fibers – from carpets,cotton materials or drapery fabrics). This material is notcollected by the air cleaner because it does not contain theirritants or soiling contaminants listed above or settles out ofthe air before reaching the air cleaner. The presence ofwhite dust does not indicate an air cleaner requires service.Carbon (Charcoal) FiltersCarbon (Charcoal) FiltersCarbon (Charcoal) FiltersCarbon (Charcoal) FiltersCarbon (Charcoal) FiltersOdors are gas molecules, not particles. They cannot beremoved by an Electronic Air Cleaner or by any otherfiltration media designed to remove airborne particles.However, some gases can be absorbed by an activatedcarbon filter or diluted with fresh outdoor air. When odorsare present, the addition of charcoal filters will neutralizeodors, such as cooking odors, pet odors, cigar and ciga-rette odors, ozone, etc. Optional charcoal filters areavailable for your Air Cleaner. Refer to the parts list for thecharcoal filter part number for your Air Cleaner. Charcoalfilters require replacement. They cannot be washed. Whilethere is no rule of thumb for how often they should bechanged, you can use your best judgement based on theodors you perceive in your environment.Not only is your air cleaner easy to install, it is also easy tooperate and maintain. Its basic components, and theirfunctions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)CabinetCabinetCabinetCabinetCabinet - mounts to existing duct work and houses thecollecting cells and pre-filters.Collecting CellsCollecting CellsCollecting CellsCollecting CellsCollecting Cells - are made in two sections and performthe actual collecting of dust, dirt, and other impuri-ties from the air. They contain the ionizing andcollection sections described above.Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wireson the air entering side. Each cell must be orientedwith the handles and contact button (Figure 2)toward the operator.Pre-filtersPre-filtersPre-filtersPre-filtersPre-filters - are in two sections which are interchangeable.They serve as a pre-filter to trap large particlessuch as hair and lint before they can enter the cellsections.Power Pack-Power Pack-Power Pack-Power Pack-Power Pack- contains operating and power on lights as wellas the solid state components that convert the 120volt power supply to the high-voltage, direct currentrequired for the collecting cell.CONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANERCONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANERCONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANERCONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANERCONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANERFigure 1Figure 1Figure 1Figure 1Figure 1Figure 2Figure 2Figure 2Figure 2Figure 2
