How the electronic

air cleaner works

IONIZER WIRES

(CHARGING

SECTION)

69-0764—2

First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the

prefilters. Then, as the dirty air passes through

the intense high voltage electric field surround-

ing the ionizer wires, all particles, even the

smallest are given an electric charge. The air

then passes into the collector where the

alternate parallel plates are charged positive

and negative, creating a uniform electrostatic

field. Since opposites attract, the charged

particles stick to the collector plates, which have

an opposite electric charge. The air leaving the

air cleaner contains very few particles.

PREFILTER

DIRTY

AIR

Each time the air circulates through the heating/

air conditioning system and air cleaner, more

particles are removed. These particles are

generated by normal household activities, and

also enter the house from outside. That is why

we recommend that you use the air cleaner as

much as possible.
