Electronic Air Cleaners
Installation, Start-Up and Service Instructions
INTRODUCTION
Model 31KAX Plate Electronic Air Cleaner is available in three
sizes: 012 (300 to 1400 Cfm), 016 (500 to 1800 Cfm), and 020 (700
to 2000 Cfm).
These plate-type air cleaners are designed for use with residen
tial and light commercial forced-air heating and/or cooling sys
tems. They may be installed in a vertical or horizontal section
of a t5rpical return-air duct system.
These air cleaners are easily field-converted from right- to left-
hand units. Cabinets are designed to support up to 400 pounds
when used in under-the-furnace applications.

CABINET
The cabinet includes an electrical junction box and a power
safety interlock, and houses the air cleaner components. These
components are:
1.
2.
Mechanical prefilters—Expanded aluminum mesh first-
stage filter that removes lint and larger dust particles.
Cell assemblies—Cells consist of combined ionizer and
collector.
Ionizer part of cell has tungsten wires (that receive posi
tive charge) mounted between grounded aluminum chan
nels, and supported by glazed ceramic insulators.

Collector part of cell consists of alternately charged collec
tor plates.
The electronic air cleaner components are (see Fig. 3):
1. A power door assembly.
2. IWo prefilters.
, 3. A cabinet containing two air-cleaning cell assemblies.
4. A parts bag including: electrical bushings, plug buttons,
wire chase and airflow label.
Power Door Assembly
The power door assembly consists of:
1. Unit operation light, ON-OFF switch, and door attach
ment knob—all installed on door cover.
2. Door base plate contains a solid-state power pack that
converts 120 VAC to high voltage DC (A240V Conversion
Kit, P/N 31KAX900---001-- is available). All wiring
mounted internally. A line-voltage disconnect (male plug)
and high-voltage bus-bar are mounted on the base plate
externally. Four screws must be removed to expose the
power pack and wiring.
The supply circuit to the power pack, which is wired across the
furnace air blower, is controlled by an ON-OFF power switch.
With the power switch ON (assumingpower door in placed and
air blower operating), 120 VAC ±10% single-phase, 60-Hz power
is applied to the power pack (240V Conversion Kit transformer
converts 240V to 120 V AC). Output of the power pack assembly
is approximately 7300 VDC.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specifications or designs without notice and without incurring obligations.
