Figure 5: Air Cleaner
Installaon Locaon
Allow 24 in. (60 cm) clearance for maintaining air cleaner
Allow 6 in. (15 cm) clearance for power box removal.
Installation Location with Humidier
A humidier 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 humidier does not leak, as
this may cause arcing and a mineral deposit to build up
on the collecng cells.
An atomizing type humidier should be installed
downstream from the air cleaner. If the atomizing type
humidier is installed upstream, high humidity, salts and
minerals may decrease the eciency of the collecng
cells and cause service problems.
If the atomizing type humidier must be installed
upstream, the following precauons should be taken:
1. Atomizing type humidier must be installed as far
from the air cleaner as possible.
2. Collecng 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 locaon will clean the
air before it reaches the evaporator coil.
Installation Steps
1. Remove exisng equipment lter (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 distribuon ducts.
2. Open air cleaner access door. Slide lters and
collecng cells out of cabinet.
3. Installing the cabinet: Holes are provided to aach
cabinet to ductwork or equipment. If the adjoining
ductwork is anged, install the screws so that the
screw heads are inside the cabinet. This will help
prevent damage to prelter and carbon VOC lters
during removal for cleaning. Never put screws or
rivets into the removable power box.
4. Transions: If the air duct does not t the air cleaner
opening, a gradual transion is recommended to
reduce air turbulence through the air cleaner and
ensure its ecient operaon. 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 transion ng.
Do not reduce ductwork size to t a smaller
air cleaner. This will increase the velocity of
airow and may decrease cleaning eciency.
5. Turning vanes: If the air cleaner is installed adjacent
to an elbow or angle ng, eld-installed turning
vanes are recommended to improve air distribuon
across the collecng cells.
6. Seal the joints in the return air system: All joints
between the air cleaner, the heang / cooling
equipment and the return air duct should be sealed
to prevent dust from entering the clean air stream.
7. Replace the prelters in the track on the air entering
side of the air cleaner. Place new carbon VOC lters
into the air cleaner. Space lters evenly across the
discharge opening of air cleaner. Never put more
than 3 carbon VOC lters in the air cleaner, as this
may cause a problem with airow.
The collecng cells are placed between the tracks, with
the arrow on cell poinng towards the fan. The cell
handle may need to be reposioned if the airow is in
a dierent direcon than the le to right set up. The
handle should face the door. Close access door.
