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.

Application
The air cleaner is used in forced air heating, cooling and ventilating
systems. It should be installed in the system such that all the system air
is circulated through the air cleaner. The air cleaner will only remove
the airborne contaminants delivered to it; maximum performance is
obtained with the system blower set for continuous operation.
Installation Requirements
• The best location for the air cleaner is in the return air duct next to
the blower compartment. In this location, the blower motor and
cooling coils will be kept clean.
• DO NOT INSTALL THE AIR CLEANER IN THE DISCHARGE AIR DUCT
• Before installing the air cleaner, consider the application and type of
HVAC system present.
• Refer to the Typical Mounting Positions section for the most
common configurations.
• Refer to the Transitions section if a transition is required between
the duct work and the air cleaner.
• The unit must be readily accessible for periodic inspection and
cleaning of the Pre-filters and Ionizing-Collecting Cells to maintain
maximum efficiency and trouble free operation.
Air Conditioning
The air cleaner should be installed upstream of the cooling coil to
keep the coil clean and reduce air conditioning coil maintenance. A
clean coil will reduce utility costs by maintaining the coil’s efficiency. If
the air cleaner is downstream of the cooling coil, condensation will
form on the cooled collector plates when the air conditioner cycles.
This will allow water droplets to form on the collector plates and
cause nuisance arcing in the air cleaner. Arcing will reduce air cleaner
efficiency and reduce the life of the high voltage power supply.
Evaporative Humidifiers
An evaporative type humidifier can be mounted either upstream or
downstream of the air cleaner, depending upon the desired
humidification capacity.
