What are Electronic Air Cleaning Cells?
As dirty air particles race through the air cleaner, they first encounter high voltage (over 8,000 volts!) ionizing wires. Here, an intense voltage gradient accelerates free electrons towards the wires, which knock even more electrons out of the surrounding air molecules, creating vast numbers of positive ions. These positive ions bombard airborne particles in the airstream and become attached to the particles as “hitchhikers.” As the now-charged particles pass between our tightly spaced, charged collector plates they are irresistibly attracted to the oppositely charged plate. The whole process takes about 0.02 seconds and is at minimum 94% efficient.
