MAJOR COMPONENTS
Description
The Electronic Air Cleaner is approximately 29½ x 27
x 14½ inches (75 x 68.6 x 37 cm). The unit is designed to
be mounted to the ceiling. The steel cover and intake grill
are hinged to allow easy access to the collecting cells
and power box. The unit is rated up to 1300 CFM (2210
m
3 /hr).
Cabinet
The cabinet is constructed of 20 gauge steel. The
external parts have a tough powder-coated, scratch-
resistant finish. The internal parts are galvanized steel.
Access to the collecting cells, power box and prefilters is
made by lifting the cover, sliding towards the front and
lowering.
The cover is interlocked to cut power to the unit when
opened.
Prefilters
The washable prefilters measuring 12½ x 20 inches
(31.75 x 50.8 cm) are constructed of multi-layers of
aluminum mesh for maximum filtration of large particles.
Collecting Cells
The dual voltage collecting cells are constructed of
heavy gauge aluminum to resist rust and damage. The
first stage, the ionizing section, is charged at
approximately 7500 VDC. The collecting plates are
alternately grounded and charged at 5000 VDC. The
arrow on the cell indicates the direction of air flow which
must point up towards the fan motor.
Motor & Fan Blade
The motor is 1/12 HP, 1050 RPM, 3 speed, controlled
by a 3-position slide switch. The motor is thermally
protected. The fan blade is aluminum, 18 inches (45.7
cm) with a 16
˚ pitch.
