  • Page 15: How Electronic Air Cleaning Works

    HOW ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANING WORKS A word about The particles removed by the electronic air particle size cleaner tend to be very small—less than 10 microns. But what is a 10 micron particle? Well, the eye of an average size sewing needle is about 750 microns across, and the dot in the i in the word micron is about 400 microns.
  • Page 16 How the electronic First, large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the air cleaner works prefilter(s). 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...
