Americair 6500 Air Cleaner User Manual


 
Independent Operation:
The HEPA systems can be used independently of any other equipment! The intake and outflow of the filtration
system can be ducted into the same room to create a cleaner environment almost anywhere. The intake or out-
flow can also be ducted elsewhere. The intake and outflow should be installed on opposite sides of the room;
however, this varies according to your specific needs.
Preparation:
Here are some things to consider as you
decide where to install the HEPA system
independently of other systems.
Location:
Make sure there is room to open the
HEPA filter access panel for filter
changes/inspections.
Keep the HEPA system away from
possible water damage
•Vibration pads will reduce vibration for
installations where the unit is placed
on the floor.
Install HEPA System on floor or
suspended platform. If the unit is
suspended, screws must not pene-
trate through the cabinet. Make sure that you
have the proper chains/straps/joists and equip-
ment to keep unit secure.
Intake (Marked as ‘Air In’ on unit):
Intake ducts should be installed near the floor for
optimum airflow (see figure 11). If space does not
allow, then the inlet can be installed in the ceiling.
Intake duct should be installed at least 6 ft. away
from the outflow duct.
Intake duct should be installed at opposite end of
the room from the outflow duct(s) if in the same room.
Diffusers are recommended to help distribute air-
flow evenly.
Outflow (Marked as ‘Clean Air Out’ on unit):
Outflow(s) should be installed in the ceiling away
from any other air inlet(s)
Room diffusers are recommended to help dis-
tribute airflow evenly in the occupied space.
Ducting:
If HEPA system is installed where inlet and outflow
collars face down, metal elbows must be connected
to both inlet and outflow collars.
Each connection must be sealed with aluminum
tape or mastic, including all vent connections.
Installed duct runs should be as straight as possi-
ble (if the duct runs are too long, reduced CFM
may result).
If duct is exposed to unconditioned air, insulated
flex duct is highly recommended.
Externally insulated flex duct can also be used for
noise reduction purposes.
For best indoor air quality, do not use ductboard or
fiberglass inside of ducts.
Electricity:
The unit must be plugged into a grounded 120V,
60Hz. outlet.

able, otherwise, use loca-
tion A.
