Congratulations for selecting the Perfect Airt Air Purifier for
your home comfort system! The Perfect Airt Air Purifier is
proven to remove and kill airborne germs and allergens, including
viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Perfect Airt Air Purifier
is a cornerstone of Bryant’s Healthy Home Solutions for
providing healthier, cleaner air in your home.
HOW IT WORKS
The Perfect Airt Air Purifier provides extremely high filtration
performance while killing captured contaminants, including
viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Perfect Airt Air Purifier
treats the entire air--stream through a state of the art, three--stage
process, exclusive to Bryant.
In stage one, the particles are electrically charged by a
precision--point ionization array as they enter the Perfect Airt
Air Purifier.
In stage two, the charged particles are electrically attracted to the
air purification cartridge, which is located within an electric field.
In stage three, captured particles are killed by electrical current
flow and ion bombardment.
The Perfect Airt Air Purifier is CSA certified for shock and
electrical fire hazard only.

CAUTION
PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Ozone in concentrations above 0.05 PPM may be
hazardous to health.
Des concentrations d’ozone superieures a 0.05 PPM
peuvent etre nocives pour la sante.
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
The Perfect Airt Air Purifier is designed for use in the return air
duct of a forced air heating, cooling, and ventilation system.
ModelsGAPABXBB1620,GAPABXBB2020and
GAPABXBB2420 are specifically designed for use in systems
with a fan coil.
Air Conditioning
The Perfect Airt Air Purifier should be installed in a system so
that all the return air is circulated through the air purifier. It
GAPAB
should be located upstream of the fan coil This will help keep the
fan coil clean and prevent condensation from forming within the
Perfect Airt Air Purifier.
Humidifiers
An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream of the
Perfect Airt Air Purifier.It is best to install atomizing
humidifiers downstream of the air purifier because hard water salt
deposits and water droplets may damage the air purifier. If an
atomizing humidifier must be mounted upstream of the Perfect
Airt Air Purifier, it should be mounted as far upstream as
possible (at least 6 ft. recommended), and a standard disposable
furnace filter should be mounted between the humidifier and the
air purifier to trap hard water salt deposits and water droplets.
Transitions
If the return air duct or fan coil openings do not fit the Perfect
Airt Air Purifier cabinet openings, gradual transitions are
recommended to reduce air turbulence and maximize efficiency.
No more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running ft.) of
expansion should be used on each side of the transition fitting.
Turning Vanes
If the Perfect Airt Air Purifier is installed adjacent to a 90
degree duct elbow, turning vanes should be added inside duct t o
improve air distribution across the face of the air purifier.
Electrical Power / Air Flow Sensor
The Perfect Airt Air Purifier should only be powered when
airflow is present. This model is designed for use with a fan coil
and is equipped with an air flow sensor which provides power
only when the fan coil blower is operating (See Fig. 2). Perfect
Airt Air Purifier models GAPABXBB1620, GAPABXBB2020,
and GAPABXBB2420 are designed to be powered from a
208/230 VAC power source.
