What is Dielectric Polarization?
The concept of dielectric polarized media filtration is effected through the use of a steady-state electrostatic force field acting on a dielectric media such as our special blended network of polywool fibers.The EnviroSept Electronic Air Cleaner, utilizing an input of 24 volts AC, generates a 7,000 volt positive DC charge from its proprietary solid state power head. This charge, applied to the central grid, polarizes the 1/2″ thick polywool blended collector pads on either side of the grid. These pads are held in place by the two outer screens, which are grounded. Therefore, the EnviroSept Electronic Air Cleaner is really two filters in one due to the symmetry about the central grid. An electrostatic field, when imposed on a bed of our polywool fibers causes each fiber to be polarized, i.e., to cause a charge shift within the fiber. This results in each fiber being positive and negative on opposite sides of each fiber, in the direction of the high positive electrostatic field. Simply
