Atomizing Humidifiers
If an atomizing humidifier is mounted upstream of
the air cleaner:
1. Mount the humidifier as far upstream in the
ductwork as possible. A distance of at least 10
feet is recommended to reduce the possibility
of excessive arcing as water droplets pass
through the Electronic Air Cleaner.
2. Install a standard disposable furnace filter
between the humidifier and the air cleaner to
trap water droplets and hard water deposits.
3. Clean the air cleaner more frequently to
prevent hard water buildup.
If an atomizing humidifier is mounted downstream of
the air cleaner:
No additional considerations required.
Sheet Metal Installation
The Electronic Air Cleaner is adaptable to all new or
existing residential forced air furnace and cooling
systems.
Transitions
If the air duct does not fit the air cleaner cabinet
opening, gradual transitions are recommended to
reduce air turbulence through the air cleaner and
maximize efficiency. Not more than 20° (about 4” per
running foot) of expansion should be used on each
side of the transition section.
Outdoor Air
When outdoor air is added to the return air duct,
sufficient heat should be added to maintain the
return air temperature at 40°F (4° C) minimum.
Lower temperatures can cause ionizer wire failure.
Turning Vanes
If the air cleaner is installed adjacent to a 90° duct
elbow, add turning vanes inside the duct to improve
air distribution across the face of the air cleaner.
Failure to follow this recommendation can reduce
the efficiency of the Electronic Air Cleaner.
