These charged particles then enter the collecting section C This section consists of a series of aluminum plates which are alternately charged negative and positive The positive charge of the particles cause them to be repelled by the positive plates and attracted to the nega tive plates where they are collected just as a magnet attracts iron filings Clean filtered air re enters the supply duct system CONSTRUCTION OF THE AIR CLEANER Not only is your air cleaner easy to install it is also easy to operate and maintain Its basic components and their functions are as follows See Figure 2 Cabinet mounts to existing duct work and houses the collecting cells and pre filters Collecting Cells are made in two sections and perform the actual collecting of dust dirt and other impu rities from the air They contain the ionizing and collection sections described above Each cell must be installed with the ionizing wires on the air entering side Each cell must be ori ented with the handles and contact button Fig ure 2 toward the operator Pre filters are in two sections which are interchange able They serve as a pre filter to trap large particles such as hair and lint before they can enter the cell sections Power Pack contains operating and power on lights as well as the solid state components that convert the 120 volt power supply to the high voltage direct current required for the collecting cell
