Application
The air cleaner is used in forced air heating, cooling and ventilating
systems. It should be installed in the system such that all the system air is
circulated through the air cleaner. The air cleaner will only remove the
airborne contaminants delivered to it; maximum performance is obtained
with the system blower set for continuous operation.
Installation Requirements
• The best location for the air cleaner is in the return air duct next to the
blower compartment. In this location, the blower motor and cooling coils
will be kept clean.
• DO NOT INSTALL THE AIR CLEANER IN THE DISCHARGE AIR
DUCT
• Before installing the air cleaner, consider the application and type of
HVAC system present.
• Refer to the Typical Mounting Positions section for the most common
configurations.
• Refer to the Transitions section if a transition is required between the
duct work and the air cleaner.
• The unit must be readily accessible for periodic inspection and cleaning
of the Pre-filters and Ionizing-Collecting Cells to maintain maximum
efficiency and trouble free operation.
Air Conditioning
The air cleaner should be installed upstream of the cooling coil to keep the
coil clean and reduce air conditioning coil maintenance. A clean coil will
reduce utility costs by maintaining the coil’s efficiency. If the air cleaner is
downstream of the cooling coil, condensation will form on the cooled
collector plates when the air conditioner cycles. This will allow water
droplets to form on the collector plates and cause nuisance arcing in the
air cleaner. Arcing will reduce air cleaner efficiency and reduce the life of
the high voltage power supply.
Evaporative Humidifiers
An evaporative type humidifier can be mounted either upstream or
downstream of the air cleaner, depending upon the desired humidification
capacity.
