INTRODUCTION
These instructions cover the installation, operation and
maintenance of an EACB Electronic Air Cleaner
This electronic air cleaner is technically known as a two-stage
electrostatic precipitator. The air cleaner is designed to remove
airborne particulates, including dust, dirt, smoke, pollen, virus,
spores, bacteria and mold, from indoor air Air movement through
the unit is provided by the heating, air conditioning or ventilating
system blower As dirty air enters the air cleaner, the air passes
through a metal mesh prefilter The prefilter prevents lint, pet hair
and other large particulates from entering the air cleaner It is
important that these filters be in place to prevent excessive dirt
loading of the air cleaner collector cells These filters extend the
time between maintenance of the air cleaner collector cells_ This
allows the ionizing-collector cells to provide clean air for a longer
period between washings The prefiltered air then passes through a
two-stage Electronic Air Cleaner In the first stage, all airborne
particulate, even _bmic'ron size, are electronically charged
(,positive) as they pass through the ionizer The ionizer field is set
up by a corona discharge emanating from the fine, tightly strung
wires suspended between two adjacent flat plates In the second
stage, the charged particulate passes through an intense electrical
field established between alternately charged and grounded parallel
collector plates. Here, the positively charged particulate is attracted
to the negatively ground plates and removed from the air stream
