YOUR INDOOR AIR POLLUTION SOLUTION
The highest value of clean air is in its contribution to the good
health and comfort of you and your family. Additional benefits
include potential savings in home heating, cooling, and main-
tenance costs.
Your new air cleaner will electronically filter out microscopic
particles as small as 0.01 micron. At that size, it would take
100,000 particles to cover the head of a pin. Such particles are
500 times smaller than the smallest grains of dust trapped by
conventional furnace filters.
Airborne pollutants commonly found in the household are
lint, dust, ash, pet hair and dander, pollen, fungus, spores,
bacteria, viruses, cooking grease, and possibly tobacco
smoke odors.
By ridding your home of most of these pollutants, the whole
family can breathe fresher, safer air. Moreover, family mem-
bers suffering from hay fever, asthma, or allergies may find
relief, since electronic filtering removes many of the airborne
particles responsible for aggravating these ailments. Electronic
filtering removes airborne particles before they have a chance
to settle, so walls, windows, draperies, and furnishings stay
clean and bright longer.
If your home is equipped with central air conditioning or a heat
pump, electronic air cleaning can optimize your system’s per-
formance by keeping the indoor coil clean. At today’s energy
rates, the potential savings can be significant.
HOW YOUR AIR CLEANER WORKS
Contaminated air enters the prefilter (the mesh filter) where the
larger airborne particles are removed. These include hair, fibers
from carpets and drapes, pet hair, and some lint particles. (See
Fig. 1a.)
The air then passes through the ionizer/collector cells. The ion-
izer wires produce positive ions that give airborne particles a
positive electrical charge. (See Fig. 1b.)
Opposites attract: Airflow continues, passing between the col-
lector plates. The positively charged particles are attracted and
trapped by the grounded collector plates. (See Fig. 1c.) These
particles continue to cling to the plates until you or your service
technician remove the plates for cleaning.
Meanwhile, the purified air leaves the air cleaner and circulates
into your living space. (See Fig. 1d.)
