PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
— Downflow “Counterflow” furnace: Air cleaner is
mounted horizontally in return duct or plenum just
above furnace. See Fig. 3E.
— High capacity system: Two or more air cleaners can
be used together. See Fig. 3F.
— Electric furnace or heat pump: Single cell air cleaner
is mounted with access door on top. See Fig. 3G.

DETERMINE DUCT DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
The air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing forced
air heating, cooling and ventilating systems used in residen-
tial applications. Transitions, turning vanes, or offsets may
be needed in some applications for effective operation.
Transitions
Transitions are needed when the duct is a different
size than the air cleaner cabinet. Gradual transitions re-
duce air turbulence and increase efficiency. Limit ex-
pansion to no more than 20 degrees or about 4 in. per
running foot [100 mm per 300 linear mm] on each side of
a transition fitting. See Fig. 4.
