69-0419—2 HO W ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANING WORKS The par ticles remov ed by the electronic air cleaner tend to be very small—less than ten microns. But what is a 10 micron particle? The ey e of an aver age sized sewing needle has a diameter of about 750 microns, and the dot in the “i” in the w ord micron is about 400 microns. Generally , par ti[...]

69-0419—2 First, large par ticles (lint, hair) are caught b y the prefilter . Then, as the dir ty air passes through the intense high voltage electric field surrounding the ionizer wires , all par ticles, e ven the smallest par ticles do wn to 0.5 microns, are given an electric charge. The air then passes into the collector where the alternate pa[...]

69-0419—2 The air cleaner vs. the standard furnace filter The regular fur nace filter collects mainly large , visible particles that reach the filter. Its main pur pose is to protect the furnace and air conditioner blo wer . The electronic air cleaner collects these large par ticles, plus man y of the smaller , mostly invisib le par ticles. Its p[...]

69-0419—2 Air ionizers ha ve been marketed with claims about purifying the air and promising medical benefits. It should be noted that supporting tests, if a vailable , are controversial and incomplete. Air ionizers can generate a bit of oz one, and can generate some ions (bits of material carrying some electr icity). This is what y our electroni[...]

69-0419—2 If desired, the ozone generated b y the air cleaner can be reduced by asking y our dealer to adjust the air cleaner power supply to reduce ozone production. This adjustment will reduce ozone production about 20 to 25 percent, but will also reduce air cleaning efficiency about 7 to 10 percent. White dust is made up of par ticles that set[...]
