Air Cleaner
Installation Location
Allow 24 in. (60 cm) clearance for maintaining air cleaner
Allow 6 in. (15 cm) clearance for power box removal.
Installation Location with Humidifier
A humidifier should be installed in the furnace warm
air duct. However, it may be installed in the return duct
without causing problems to the air cleaner. Care must
be taken to ensure that the humidifier does not leak, as
this may cause arcing and a mineral deposit to build up
on the collecting cells.
An atomizing type humidifier should be installed
downstream from the air cleaner. If the atomizing type
humidifier is installed upstream, high humidity, salts and
minerals may decrease the efficiency of the collecting
cells and cause service problems.
If the atomizing type humidifier must be installed
upstream, the following precautions should be taken:
1. Atomizing type humidifier must be installed as far
from the air cleaner as possible.
2. Collecting cells must be washed frequently to
prevent a mineral deposit build-up.
Installation Location with Air Conditioner
Whenever possible, the air cleaner should be installed
upstream of the cooling coil. This location will clean the
air before it reaches the evaporator coil.
Installation Steps
1.
Remove existing equipment filter (if present) and
clean blower compartment:
Thoroughly clean the
blower compartment, since your air cleaner can not
remove accumulated dirt from the blower chamber
and distribution ducts.
2.
Open air cleaner access door. Slide filters and
collecting cells out of cabinet.
3. Installing the cabinet: Holes are provided to attach
cabinet to ductwork or equipment. If the adjoining
ductwork is flanged, install the screws so that the
screw heads are inside the cabinet. This will help
prevent damage to prefilter and carbon VOC filters
during removal for cleaning. Never put screws or
rivets into the removable power box.
4.
Transitions: If the air duct does not fit the air cleaner
opening, a gradual transition is recommended to
reduce air turbulence through the air cleaner and
ensure its efficient operation. A maximum of 20° of
expansion, or approximately 4 inches per running foot
(10 cm per 30 cm ), is recommended for each side of
the transition fitting.
Do not reduce ductwork size to fit a smaller
air cleaner. This will increase the velocity of
airflow and may decrease cleaning efficiency.
5.
Turning vanes: If the air cleaner is installed adjacent
to an elbow or angle fitting, field-installed turning
vanes are recommended to improve air distribution
across the collecting cells.
6.
Seal the joints in the return air system: All joints
between the air cleaner, the heating / cooling
equipment and the return air duct should be sealed
to prevent dust from entering the clean air stream.
7.
Replace the prefilters in the track on the air entering
side of the air cleaner. Place new carbon VOC filters
into the air cleaner. Space filters evenly across the
discharge opening of air cleaner. Never put more
than 3 carbon VOC filters in the air cleaner, as this
may cause a problem with airflow.
The collecting cells are placed between the tracks, with
the arrow on cell pointing towards the fan. The cell
handle may need to be repositioned if the airflow is in
a different direction than the left to right set up. The
handle should face the door. Close access door.
