A fan draws air in at the air cleaner´s lower edge, both front and back. First the air passes through a pre-filter. The largest dust particles are caught there. Then the air passes through an ionising unit where the particles are charged with positive ions. Then the air passes through the main filter, which consists of collector sheets of plastic-coated paper with positive and negative charge. A high voltage unit keeps the charge on the collector sheets constant.

Electrolux Air cleaner’s electrical consumption is very low. At the lowest speed, which is the speed at which the air cleaner should operate continuously, it uses 20 watts. This is equivalent to the smallest light bulb. At the middle speed it uses 30 watts and at the highest speed 70 watts. Even at its highest speed, Electrolux Air cleaner does not use any more energy than an ordinary light bulb.

air cleaner should be placed in the room in which you spend the most time, which often means the bedroom. You can also move Electrolux Air cleaner into the room where you happen to be. It should, however, not be used in a damp environment such as a bathroom. Electrolux Air cleaner should be placed in the open, close to the middle of a wall. It should not be placed underneath a table or any other surface that could block the flow of clean air that blows out of the top of the unit.

The recommendations of the Asthma and Allergy Association of Sweden are based on an 80% reduction of the particle concentration in the air. According to this, Electrolux Air cleaner can clean up to 26 m2. Noiselessly! At its highest speed (where the CADR is 330 m3 per hour), it can clean a room of 66 m2.

No, you cannot get electric shocks from it in normal handling. When you lift off the cover off the air cleaner, the current is switched off automatically as an extra safeguard.

What happens if I drop something into Electrolux Air cleaner? (A glass of milk, for example, or a coin).

Nothing - it will operate as normal, continuously cleaning the air in your home. If the air cleaner for any reason turns over so that the cover falls of, the power is turned of automatically.

Snowblowers do not have air filters. Normal operating conditions are essentially dust free. Your air intake is ducted such that it is shielded from flying debris and the muffler serves to preheat intake air. Air filters would also be prone to icing.

The SE400 and SE800 are designed to run 24/7, but in most cases, they will not need to run constantly. A good practice is to turn the air cleaner(s) on high speed prior to opening time, to get a head start on air circulation ? this helps reduce the chance of your air cleaning equipment having to play "catch-up." Once patrons start rolling in, you may choose to reduce the air cleaner fan speed if high speed is not necessary.

Trane CleanEffects™is designed to perfectly fit as a component of your total home comfort system. Unlike many air cleaners that are situated in a single room of the house, CleanEffects™is installed and operated through the same duct work that your furnace or air conditioner might use. So even though it's attractively designed, it operates out of sight of most living spaces to provide up to 99.98% cleaner air throughout your entire home.

Furnace blower pulls airborne pollen and pollutant particles into the air cleaner. The prefilter screen traps large particles. Smaller particles pass through to the charging section and receive a positive electrical charge from a series of tungsten wire s. Charged particles are then drawn into the collecting plates, which attract them like a magnet. This section holds the particles until they are washed away during periodic cell cleaning.

Contaminated air is drawn through high-efficiency cartridge filters, where the particulate is collected on the outside of the media. Filtered air is pulled through the system and exhausted. The filtered air then passes through the clean air plenum and is exhausted. The venturi pulse or patented Injection Self-Cleaning System (ICS) blows compressed air through the filter in the reverse direction, thus dislodging smoke and dust from the filter.

Air is drawn into the unit to capture particles. The airborne particles pass through an electrostatic field and receive an ionized charge. The charged particles move into a collector section where each alternate plate is charged with the same polarity as the particles. This drives the particles to the second set of plates of an opposite charge to attract and collect the particles. The remaining air, cleaned up to 95% of its impurities, is then returned to the plant or building.

Media air cleaners draw pollutants from the air through a first stage pre-filter to capture large particulate. This extends the life of the primary media filter, which uses a combination of technologies including: straining, impaction, interception, and diffusion to strip submicron particles from the air. After adsorption filters may also be incorporated to eliminate or reduce odors.

The American-Lights® UV Air Cleaner is installed at either the air return or supply side of your heating and air conditioning system. The lamp emits UV light that greatly reduces or eliminates germs such as mold, bacteria, spores, fungi and viruses circulated by the HVAC system. The American-Lights® germicidal lamp emits UVC rays at the optimum level for germ kill effectiveness. It is the strongest germicidal UV lamp on the market.

The Space-Guard High Efficiency Air Cleaner utilizes a simple and effective HEPA-type filtering media that actually improves its particulate-capturing capability the longer it is used. The filter unit is attached to your heating or cooling system. There it seizes pollutants from conditioned air before being distributed to rooms in your home. Depending on your type of furnace, there are two models of filters available. The model 2200 is adaptable to upflow or horizontal duct configurations.

The only plastic components in the air cleaner are the fan blade, wheels or feet and the control knob on the front of the unit.

The HealthMate unit or the AllergyMachine will clean an average bedroom in about 15 minutes with the door closed. In technical terms, they clean up to 1,500 square feet. The HealthMate Jr model cleans up to 700 square feet. (All estimates assume 8 ft. ceilings.)

No, for best results an air cleaner should run continuously, around the clock, because new dirty air is continually coming in from ventilation, for example.

The Austin Air Cleaner uses ordinary 120 volt wall receptacles. Maximum draw is about 90 watts on high or about 1 cent per hour. It can be placed anywhere in a room, including corners, and you will still get the same excellent results. The Austin Air Cleaner should be placed in a bedroom at night with the door closed for best results.

If the air cleaner turns over so that the cover falls off, the power is turned off automatically. If the cover stays on, nothing happens and the air cleaner operates as usual. Yes, an air cleaner removes all sorts of particles from the air. Airborne microorganisms such as mold and fungus spores, viruses and bacteria occur partly as small free particles and partly in combinations, but they can also adhere to other particles. Odors are gases.

Activated carbon is the best known substance for removing gases and odors. The best source of activated carbon is a coconut shell. This is what is used in the Austin Air Cleaner. It can remove up to 60% of it's weight in odors and gases. Activated carbon is the most common element in military gas masks. The Austin Air Cleaner uses a minimum of 13.5 pounds of coconut shell activated carbon and zeolite to remove odors and gases.

A device containing a filtering mechanism (filter), which is designed and used for collecting airborne impurities, such as, dusts, gases, smokes and fumes through the use of filters, electrostatic cells and/or absorbents. Typically an air cleaner has a motor blower.

Generally speaking, for an adequate air exchange rate, you can expect up to 500 sq. ft. coverage for the SE400E, and around 700 sq. ft. for the SE800E. - based on moderate concentration levels w/ 8 ft. ceilings. Individual results will vary based on environmental variables. To find out how many of which air cleaner you need, try our air cleaner calculator in the Buyer's Guide.

Depending on the fan setting used, the noise level ranges from less than 50 to 65 decibels, or from the sound of a whisper to the sound of a normal conversation. No. Austin's Air cleaners do not produce ozone, ions, or negative ions. Ozone is active oxygen and can be dangerous to people's health. This is especially true for people with respiratory problems such as asthma emphysema, and bronchitis.

air cleaner has its greatest effect in the room where it is placed. It also cleans a portion of the air in other rooms. If you want maximum cleaning effect in more than one room, you should have an air cleaner in each of them.

The entire body of the Austin Air Cleaner is solid steel, which has been welded together to prevent any rattle caused by motor vibration. The paint is a powder coating, which is baked on at 450 degrees. This process eliminates any odor or gas emissions and increases durability.

There's always enough clearance for a Trion SE400 or SE800. The unique design allows the air cleaner to install at any depth in your drop ceiling. The mounting bracket is adjustable, and the sides of the air cleaner are smoothly finished - allowing a good looking installation into any drop ceiling height.
