How Your Air Cleaner Works; Unpacking And Inspection - Emerson 20C13T-41002 Installation, Operation & Service Manual

HOW YOUR AIR CLEANER WORKS (See figure 1.)
Dirt laden air enters the unit from the room. It passes
through the screen (A) first where large particles (hair, lint,
etc.) are trapped. Smaller particles (smoke, dust, pollen,
etc.) pass through this screen and enter the Ionizing Section
(B). Here each tiny particle receives a positive electrical
charge. These charged particles then enter the Collection
Section (C) which consists of a series of aluminum
plates.., alternate plates are charged positive.
The positive charged particles are repelled by the positive
plates and attracted to the negative plates where they are
collected - just as a magnet attracts iron filings.
