PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

Application

The is used in a forced air heating, cooling, or ventilating system. It removes airborne particles from the air circulated through it. All models have an internal air flow switch to operate the when the system blower is on.

Review Installation Requirements

The air cleaner should be installed where all the air passing through the system circulates through it. The best location is in the return air duct next to the blower compartment so the air cleaner can help keep the blower motor and evaporator coils clean.

IMPORTANT

Do not mount in the discharge air duct.

For most efficient air cleaning, airflow must be spread evenly across the face of the air cleaner. If the duct is a different size than the air cleaner cabinet, gradual transitions are recommended. If the duct turns sharply just before the air cleaner, turning vanes are recommended.

Applications with Air Conditioning

The air cleaner should be installed upstream from the evaporator coil. The air cleaner will help keep the coil clean, reducing maintenance.

M2872A

68-0137—5

F50F DUCT MOUNTED ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER

Applications with a Humidifier

An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream from the air cleaner. An atomizing humidifier should be mounted downstream from the air cleaner, even though hard water salts will be blown into the living space and deposited as dust. If an atomizing humidifier must be mounted upstream from the air cleaner:

1. Mount it as far as possible upstream from the air cleaner.

2. Install a standard disposable furnace filter between the humidifier and the air cleaner to trap water droplets and hard water salts.

3. Frequently clean the air cleaner to prevent a hard water salt buildup.

NOTE: The volume of water that passes through an

atomizing humidifier can overload the air cleaner, resulting in hard water salts being deposited as dust in the living space.

Applications with an Activated Carbon Filter

An activated carbon (charcoal) filter can be used to remove odors or other gaseous contaminants (not particle-based) that are not removed by the air cleaner. Locate the carbon filter:

•Downstream from the air cleaner. This means that dust from the carbon filter will not be collected by the air cleaner and will be deposited in the living space.

• Outside the air cleaner cabinet. Some carbon filters are combustible and contact with high voltage could result in smoke or fire.

• Where carbon granules cannot fall into the electronic cell. If necessary, use a disposable furnace filter between the carbon filter and the electronic cell.

• With proper transitions, if the activated carbon filter requires a differently sized duct than the air cleaner. Allow 20 degrees expansion per side, per fitting.

NOTE: Honeywell does not offer carbon filters. Refer to an

activated carbon filter manufacturer for sizing and application.

Applications with Outdoor Air Intake

Return air temperature must be at least 40°F (4°C). Lower temperatures can cause ionizer wire failure. If outdoor air is used, warm it upstream from the air cleaner by:

• Making sure the outdoor intake is far enough upstream from the air cleaner so the return and outdoor air is thoroughly mixed. Stratified air can dump a stream of very cold air into one section of the air cleaner.

• Adding baffles upstream from the air cleaner to force thorough air mixing.

• Installing a Honeywell Home Ventilation System that transfers up to 80 percent of the heat from the exhaust air to the incoming outside air. This keeps the incoming air above 40°F (4°C) and reduces energy usage.

• Installing a preheater if large amounts of outdoor air are used. The preheater, which could be an electric strip heater or hot water coil, should be controlled by a thermostat. Hot water or steam coils should be protected by a freeze-up control.

Optional W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor

The terminal board is recessed slightly so it or the wires will not interfere with installation. The entire power supply box can be unplugged and removed to provide access to the terminals. The W8600F Air Cleaner Monitor can be mounted in the living area or in the furnace room. It should be located in a convenient location to observe the display.

Choose Location

Choose a location that is readily accessible for regular inspection and cleaning. Allow at least 13 in. (330 mm) in front of the access door for removing the prefilter and electronic cell. Allow enough room above the power supply so it can be serviced without removing pipes, ducts, or other heating system components.

The air cleaner must be installed where the temperature will not exceed 40° to 125°F (4° to 52°C).

Choose Mounting Position

WARNING

Heavy Equipment. Can cause injury or equipment damage.

Do not mount the air cleaner with the access door facing down. If the access door faces down, the latch may not hold, and the cell and prefilter can fall unexpectedly. Also, nothing holds the cell and prefilter in place when the access door is opened.

The air cleaner can be mounted in any position except with the access door facing down. Following is a list of air cleaner mounting positions for a variety of furnace installations.

NOTE: At least 13 in. (330 mm) clearance is required

between the access door and any obstructions for cell and prefilter maintenance.

— Upflow “Highboy” furnace: Side installation; air cleaner is

mounted vertically where return enters side inlet of furnace. See Fig. 3A.

— Upflow “Highboy” furnace: Installation beneath furnace

(air cleaner cabinet can easily support weight of furnace and air conditioner coil). Air cleaner is mounted horizontally where return enters from below. See Fig. 3B.

— Upflow “Highboy” furnace: Closet installation. Air cleaner

is mounted vertically on furnace between furnace and louvered return air opening in closet door. See Fig. 3C.

— “Lowboy” furnace: Air cleaner is mounted horizontally in

return plenum just above furnace, opposite of supply plenum. See Fig. 3D.

—Downflow “Counterflow” furnace: Air cleaner is mounted

horizontally in return duct or plenum just above furnace. See Fig. 3E.

— High capacity system: Two or more air cleaners can be

used together. See Fig. 3F.

— Electric furnace or heat pump: Single cell air cleaner is

mounted with access door on top. See Fig. 3G.

— Horizontal furnace: Air cleaner is mounted vertically

where return enters. See Fig. 3H.

Determine Duct Design Requirements

The air cleaner is adaptable to all new or existing forced air heating, cooling and ventilating systems used in residential applications. Transitions, turning vanes, or offsets may be needed in some applications for effective operation.

Transitions

Tr ansitions are needed when the duct is a different size than the air cleaner cabinet. Gradual transitions reduce air turbulence and increase efficiency. Limit expansion to no more than 20 degrees or about 4 in. per running foot (100 mm per 300 linear mm) on each side of a transition fitting. See Fig. 4.

Turning Vanes

If the air cleaner is installed close to an elbow or angle fitting, install turning vanes inside the angle to distribute airflow more evenly across the face of the cell. See Fig. 5.

Offsets

If the duct connection to the furnace in a side installation allows less than 7 in. (178 mm) for mounting the air cleaner cabinet, add an offset to the elbow. See Fig. 5.

Clean Blower Compartment

❑ Remove and discard the existing furnace filter. ❑ Thoroughly clean the blower compartment. ❑ If possible, power vacuum the ductwork to remove

accumulated dust in an existing home, or construction dirt in a new home. The electronic air cleaner cannot remove dust that has settled in the blower compartment and distribution ducts.

❑ Check the edges of the furnace fan blades for dirt buildup

and clean as necessary. The fan will not deliver the rated cfm if the blades are dirty.

Fasten Cabinet To Furnace

NOTE: This procedure shows a side installation on a

typical highboy furnace. You may need to alter the procedure to fit your application.

❑ Remove and set aside the access door, electronic cell(s)

and prefilter(s).

❑ Align the cabinet with the return air opening. ❑ Create opening in furnace to match air cleaner cabinet

opening.

❑ Install a transition when the furnace and air cleaner

openings are different sizes. See Fig. 4.

❑ Place blocks under the cabinet so the unit is firmly

supported and level. The 5/8 in. (16 mm) mounting foot on the cabinet hinge plate provides the minimum clearance required for the access door hinge.

❑ Attach the cabinet securely to the furnace. The unit can

be attached directly, as shown, or a starting collar can first be fitted in the furnace opening. Either drill holes and fasten with sheet metal screws or rivets, or use slip joints. See Fig. 6.
