DC23 Airflow
This section illustrates the direction of airflow through DC23o
The dirty air flows through the wand and hose and then continues up the inlet and into the clear bin.
The filtration process starts in the clear bin. Larger debris is separated from the airflow. The air is then directed through the shroud
and up through the core separator and on into the smaller cyclones in the cyclone top. The air then travels down the exhaust
duct before continuing through to the pre-motor filter and into the motor housing and up through the post-rnotor filter, where it is
exhausted into the atmosphere, thoroughly clean.
DC23 Filtration
DC23 has a 6-stage filtration process:
1oOuter cyclone: as the air enters the clear bin, large dirt and debris is separated from
the airflow.
2. Shroud: the air is then directed up through the shroud, which acts as a fluff and hair
separator.
3. Care separator: small/fine dust particles are then separated from the airflow in the
core separator.
4. Inner cyclones: smaller/microscopic dust particles are then separated from the airflow
in the inner cyclones. The air flows out of the cyclone assembly and into the duct, before
reaching the pre-motor filter.
5. Pre-matar filter: traps the last remaining particles of microscopic dust, allowing only
clean air to pass through.
6. Post-motor lifter: lastly, as the clean air passes through the motor, it collects carbon
dust particles from the motor brushes. The post-rnotor filter traps these particles before
the air is then exhausted back into the atmosphere, thoroughly clean.
The pre-filter separates particles
as small as cigarette smoke (0.1
microns)° Should be washed every
3-6 months°
HEPA post-rnotor filter. Never needs
washing or replacing.
