Air Cleaners

When sunlight streams in through a window, do you see a galaxy of dust particles in the air? Believe it or not, even on the sunniest day, most dust isn’t visible. In fact, every cubic foot of air in the average home is loaded with about 3 million dust particles. "Dust" is a catchall term that describes the minute residue sloughed off by a house and its occupants. It comes from fireplace, cigarette and cooking smoke; skin and pet dander; molds, mildew and fungi; pollen and plant spores; and a variety of other sources. Of course, dust is most visible where it settles and collects...on furniture or—worse—the hidden crannies and top shelves visited by a dust cloth only once each spring. But dust isn’t just an embarrassment waiting to be discovered by your mother-in-law. It can be a serious pollutant, particularly for allergy sufferers, asthmatics, people with bronchial problems and those who are hyper-sensitive to airborne particulates. For everyone, breathing air laden with bacteria and other contaminants is less than ideal. Dust is, after all, pollution, and the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that indoor air is two to five times as polluted as outdoor air.
	Electronic Air Cleaner A Cleaner Environment For Your Family We know the indoor air quality of your home is important to you. That's why you may breathe easier after installing a Trane electronic air cleaner. It removes unwanted pollutants - particles like dust, pollen, animal hair and dander, dust mites, mildew, lint, fungus, smoke and cooking grease, even bacteria. An air cleaner actually draws the dirt out of the air, so your wallpaper and paint stay cleaner longer. And, you don't have to clean draperies, upholstery and other furnishings as often. Your entire environment benefits from an electronic air cleaner from Trane. And think about it, your carpet and drapery cleaning bills could benefit also.
It's A Simple Solution Here's how an electronic air cleaner works. The air in your home circulates through your heating or cooling system, carrying millions of airborne particles through the ductwork. When this air goes through an electronic air cleaner, the pre-filter traps the majority of the large particles. The smaller particles continue to pass through the pre-filter and receive a positive electrical charge. Collector plates, which carry a negative charge, attract these small particles like magnets, holding them until they're washed off. Cleaner, filtered air is then circulated throughout your home.
Efficiency Adding a Trane air cleaner to your central cooling and heating system can make an enormous difference in the indoor air quality of your home. And, it helps keep it clean too, while using less energy than a 40-watt bulb.	Relief For Allergy Sufferers If you or any member of your family has allergies, an electronic air cleaner from Trane could mean welcome relief. Allergy-aggravating particles are significantly reduced, meaning fewer symptoms and a healthier environment.

Today's homes are more tightly constructed than ever. This means less airborne dirt and dust can infiltrate the home from outside. However, it also means dirt, dust, grease, pollen, spores and other airborne particles that already exist in a home can't get out and are recirculated over and over again. To remove these particles, that can cause unnecessary physical discomfort as well as damage furnishings, more and more homeowners are turning to high efficiency electronic air cleaners. The reason: electronic air cleaners can remove up to 95% of these undesirable airborne particles. A typical disposable furnace filter only removes 10 to 15% of the contaminants. According to the Trane Home Comfort Institute, electronic air cleaners are usually installed in the duct carrying air back to the furnace. Operation of the unit is fairly simple. First, air passes through a mesh-type filter that catches large airborne particles. Smaller particles that get through the filter pass through an ionizing section where they receive an electrical charge. These charged particles then pass through plates which have an opposite charge that attracts the particles like a magnet. The particles remain on the plates until the air cleaner elements are washed. The result is a healthier, cleaner indoor environment. The environment is healthier because electronic air cleaners remove much of the dust, pollen, mold spores and other microscopic irritants that make life miserable for people with allergies and respiratory problems. These same contaminants can also harbor harmful bacteria and viruses. The home is cleaner because electronic air cleaners remove the dust particles that normally settle on walls, floors, drapes, upholstery and other furnishings. This allows homeowners to spend less time and money on routine house cleaning tasks. Electronic air cleaners also remove dust particles that can damage home entertainment equipment and computer hardware. Electronic air cleaners do all this using only about the same amount of electricity as a 40-watt light bulb. However, to do their job, the heating and cooling system must be running. In this regard, Trane Home Comfort Institute experts report that new technology in the field of electronic fan motors and controls is drastically reducing the cost of running a fan continuously. And they say this new generation of motors and controls not only allows more economical air cleaner operation but also lowers overall operating costs, reduces noise and provides greater levels of comfort.
