F300E Series Install Instructions

GETTING
STARTED
Ducting
The Electronic Air Cleaner is adaptable to all new or
existing forced air heating and cooling systems used
in residential applications. Transitions or turning vanes
may be required in some applications for effective air
cleaner operation.
Transitions
For most efcient air cleaning, spread airow evenly
across the face of the air cleaner. If the duct is a
different size than the electronic air lter cabinet,
gradual transitions are required. Follow these
guidelines when fabricating:
• Use gradual transitions to reduce air turbulence and
increase efciency.
• Use no more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per
running ft. (100 mm per 300 linear mm)) of
expansion on each side of a transition tting.
Turning Vanes
If the Electronic Air Cleaner is installed next to an
elbow or angle tting, add turning vanes inside the
angle to distribute airow more evenly across the face
of the cell.
Offsets
If the duct connection to the furnace in a side
installation allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for mounting
Electronic Air Cleaner cabinet, attach an offset to the
elbow.
