How It Works - Honeywell F300 Professional Installation Manual

What to Expect From Your Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner
Congratulations for selecting the Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner for your home comfort system! The F300
Electronic Air Cleaner captures and removes a significant amount of the air-borne particles from the air circulated
through the high-efficiency electronic cells. The Electronic Air Cleaner easily mounts in any position within the
return air duct of any gas, oil, and electric forced warm air furnaces and to compressor cooling up to 5 tons.

How it Works

Large particles (lint, hair) are caught by the prefilter. As the dirty air passes through the intense high voltage
electric field surrounding the ionizer wires, all particles are given an electrical charge.
The air then moves through the collector part of the cell where alternate parallel plates are charged positively and
negatively, creating a uniform electrostatic field. The charged particles are attracted to and collect on the plates
that have the opposite electrical charge.
The air then passes through media postfilters, removing additional particles from the air stream. The air leaving
the air cleaner has fewer particles. Each time the air circulates through the electronic air cleaner, more particles
are removed.
