AIR CONDITIONING
Whenever possible, your Air Cleaner should be installed
upstream of the cooling coil. This will clean the air before
it reaches the evaporator coil.
GENERAL INSTALLATION STEPS
1.
Remove existing equipment filter and clean
blower compartment:
Thoroughly clean the blower
compartment, since your Air Cleaner cannot remove
dirt from the blower chamber and distribution ducts.
2.
Leave sufficient room around your Air Cleaner:
There must be adequate room to remove the filter.
Additional room must be left above the Air Cleaner,
if it is to be upgraded to a High Efficiency Electronic
Air Cleaner.
NOTE:
Once your Air Cleaner has been installed,
do not allow the placement of a new hot water
heater, water softener, gas pipe, or electrical cable
to be put in front of or within 30 cm (12 in) from the
top of the Air Cleaner. Otherwise, this will not allow
for the removal of the Air Cleaner filters, which are
necessary for maintenance or upgrading later.
3.
Installing the cabinet:
Make sure rivets or screws
do not protrude into the cabinet, causing filters to
catch.
4.
Transitions:
When the air duct does not fit the Air
Cleaner opening, a gradual transition is
recommended to reduce air turbulence through the
Air Cleaner and to increase its efficiency. There
should not be more than 20
o
of expansion used on
each side of the transition fitting, approximately 10
cm per 30 cm (4 inches per running foot).
Do not reduce ductwork to fit a smaller Air
Cleaner. This will increase the velocity of air
flow and may decrease cleaning efficiency.
5.
Turning vanes:
If the Air Cleaner is installed
adjacent to an elbow or angle fitting, turning vanes
are recommended to improve air distribution across
the filter.
6.
Seal the joints in the return air system:
All joints
between the Air Cleaner and the heating/cooling
equipment should be sealed to prevent dust from
entering the clean air stream.
To improve the performance of your Air Cleaner,
these simple steps should be followed:
•
Run your heating/cooling system fan continuously,
on low speed if available, since your Air Cleaner
only removes particulate matter which passes
through to the filter.
•
Remove furniture or carpets from the front of the
return air grilles so that air moves freely to the
heating/cooling equipment.
•
Check the fan belt on the furnace blower and see
that there is no more than approximately 1.3 cm (1/2
in) of play on each side. A loose belt slips on the
pulley.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Turn off your heating/air conditioning system fan
before performing maintenance to your Air Cleaner.
The media filter needs to be replaced once or twice a
year depending on the amount of contaminants in the
air. If the filter is allowed to become too clogged, it may
cause a restriction to the air flow through the system.
This may cause poor circulation of conditioned air or the
evaporator coil of the air conditioning system to freeze
up.
1.
Remove Air Cleaner door.
2.
Remove filters and discard.
3.
Install new filter. Arrow must point toward the system
fan.
4.
Close Air Cleaner door.
