HOW THE AIR CLEANER
WORKS
Dirt particles flowing through the ducts (Figure 1) first
enters the pre-filters (A) where large particles (hair, lint,
etc.) are trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen,
etc.) pass through 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 plates which are alternately charged negative
and positive.
The positive charge of the particles cause them to be
repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the nega-
tive plates where they are collected . . . just as a magnet
attracts iron filings.
Clean-filtered air re-enters the supply duct system.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE
AIR CLEANER
Not only is your air cleaner easy to install, it is also easy
to operate and maintain. Its basic components, and their
functions, are as follows: (See Figure 2)
Cabinet - mounts to existing duct work and houses the
collecting cells and pre-filters.
Collecting Cells - are made in two sections and perform
the actual collecting of dust, dirt, and other impu-
rities from the air. They contain the ionizing and
collection sections described above.
Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires
on the air entering side. Each cell must be ori-
ented with the handles and contact button (Fig-
ure 2) toward the operator.
Pre-filters - are in two sections which are interchange-
able. They serve as a pre-filter to trap large
particles such as hair and lint before they can
enter the cell sections.
Power Pack- contains operating and power on lights as
well as the solid state components that convert
the 120 volt power supply to the high-voltage,
direct current required for the collecting cell.
