Ducting; Transitions; Turning Vanes; Offsets - Honeywell F300A1620 Installation Manual

Ducting

The Electronic Air Cleaner is adaptable to all new or
existing forced air heating and cooling systems used
in residential applications. Transitions or turning
vanes may be required in some applications for
effective air cleaner operation.

Transitions

For most efficient air cleaning, spread airflow evenly
across the face of the air cleaner. If the duct is a
different size than the electronic air filter cabinet,
gradual transitions are required. Follow these
guidelines when fabricating:
• Use gradual transitions to reduce air turbulence
and increase efficiency.
• Use no more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per
running ft. (100 mm per 300 linear mm)) of
expansion on each side of a transition fitting.

Turning Vanes

If the Electronic Air Cleaner is installed next to an
elbow or angle fitting, add turning vanes inside the
angle to distribute airflow more evenly across the
face of the cell.

Offsets

If the duct connection to the furnace in a side
installation allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for
mounting Electronic Air Cleaner cabinet, attach an
offset to the elbow.
