operation
Many of the dust particles generated while vacuuming, are so heavy
that they “fall” out of the airstream before they can be drawn out of
your living area. This is why it is important to do household dusting
several hours after vacuuming. Normally once the heavy particles “fall
out,” they are only reintroduced to the air by vacuuming, or similar
vigorous activity.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Aprilaire Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner is an electrically
enhanced high efficiency air cleaner that utilizes an ionization and
electric field. It is the first and only residential air cleaner that utilizes
this recently patented technology. As shown in the schematic below,
a particle passes a control electrode and enters an intense ionization
and electric field. This intense electric field ionizes (applies an electrical
charge to) the airborne particles. The charged particles are then
attracted to and collected by the air cleaner media, which is maintained
at ground by means of the ground electrode. Then, the clean air is
distributed throughout your home.

Combination of Media and Electronic Technologies
Improves Efficiency
How the greatest air
cleaning efficiency is achieved.
Particles entering the air cleaner pass through a control electrode, which focuses
and intensifies an electrical field generated by the ionizing wires. The particles are
charged in the electrical field and then collected on grounded micro-fiber media.
