If an atomizing humidifier is installed, it must be mounted downstream of
the air cleaner.
1. Mount the humidifier as far downstream as possible. It is recommended a
distance of at least 10 feet 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 a hard water buildup.
The Electronic Air Cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing residential
forced air furnace and cooling systems.
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 fitting (Figure 4).
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.
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 (Figure 5).
Failure to follow the recommendation can
reduce the efficiency of the Electronic Air
Cleaner.
