F150E MEDIA AIR CLEANER
SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT
The specifications in this publication do not include
normal manufacturing tolerances; therefore, an
individual unit may not exactly match the listed
specifications. This product is tested and calibrated
under closely controlled conditions, and some minor
differences in performance can be expected if those
conditions are changed.
Model:
F150E Media Air Cleaner includes cabinet, access door and
pleated media filter, and W8600A AirWatch™ Indicator.
Application:
Use with gas, oil, and electric forced warm air furnaces and
with compressor cooling. Can be used with heat pumps if
filter is changed regularly to prevent excessive pressure
drop. Not recommended for applications where pressure
drop may be critical.
Pressure Drop:
Initial pressure drop at 492 fpm: 0.23 in. wc.
Dust fed to 0.5 in. wc pressure drop: 72 grams.
Efficiency:
Efficiency Ratings: Based on American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Standard
52.2-1999.
Minimum Efficiency Reporting Valve (MERV): 10 at 492 fpm.
Filter Media:
Pleated for greater media capacity.
Capacity And Pressure Drop:
See Fig 2.
Initial Pressure Drop: 0.23 in. wc at 492 fpm.
Temperature Rating:
-40° to +140°F (-40° to +60°C).
Dimensions:
See Fig. 1.
Mounting:
Mounts in any position in the return air duct, usually next to
the furnace blower compartment. Cabinet is sturdy enough
to support weight of a residential furnace and evaporator
coil.Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.:
Listed to UL 900, Class 2.
Included Accessory:
W8600A AirWatch™ Indicator.
Upgrade Path:
The F150E uses the same cabinet as the F300E Electronic
Air Cleaner. Upgrade may require installing the cell key,
electronic cells, protective screens and installation and
wiring of the power box, depending on model.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
Location
The media air cleaner should be installed where all the air
passing through the system is circulated through it. The best
location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment so the media air cleaner can help to keep the blower
motor and evaporator coils clean. Do not mount in the supply
air duct.
For most efficient air cleaning, spread airflow evenly across
the face of the media. If the duct is a different size than the
media air filter cabinet, gradual transitions are required. If the
duct turns sharply just before the air filter, turning vanes are
2000

required.
Choose a location that is readily accessible for checking and
replacing the filter. Allow at least 26 in. (660 mm) clearance in
front of the unit for removal of the cartridge.
Install the media air filter where the temperature will not
exceed the ratings in the Specifications.

F150E MEDIA AIR CLEANER
Applications With Air Conditioning
Mount the media air cleaner upstream of the evaporator coil in
a cooling system. The filter will help to keep the coil clean and
reduce maintenance.
Applications With A Humidifier
The media air cleaner is compatible with humidifiers. Avoid
applications where water mist will reach the media. If an
atomizing humidifier is used, the filter media will require
replacement more often because of minerals in the water.
Choose Mounting Position
The media air cleaner can be mounted in any position, but the
arrow on the cartridge must point in the same direction as the
airflow. See Figs. 3-10 for proper location of the media air
cleaner for a variety of furnace installations. Note that the
media air cleaner cabinet is sturdy enough to easily support
the weight of the furnace and evaporator coil. See Fig. 4.
