Trion HE1400 Plus Electronic Air Cleaner w/AFS 20x20 (455600-225)

Air Cleaner Sizing and Selection

The best size air cleaner is the largest that will fit. The larger the air cleaner, the greater capacity for particulate. This reduces the need to clean as often. The larger air cleaner will also have a slower air velocity that will increase the cleaning performance.

Fitting the air cleaner to the current duct work can be a primary consideration. Not recommended is using a medium HE for a large house. The three HE models are sized medium, medium, and large.

The large HE2000 (2000 cfm) are sized for a large house with a single large heating and or AC system. The 16x25 or 20x20 HE1400 (1400 cfm) fit a medium size house.

Running the furnace-AC blower on constant is recommended. Most thermostats have an Auto-On switch. Setting the switch to ON will keep the blower running and purifying the air. The more dust collected by the air cleaner results in less dust on the furniture.

The HE Series has an air resistance similar to the standard 1" filter. Thus an HE1400 or HE2000 of the same size as the heating systems 1" filter is a good reference. Review the HE Owner's manual installation instructions, starting on page 19.

Trion HE Series Air Flow Sensor

The HE Series has a built-in air flow sensor. When the blower is running, the vacuum in the duct will cause air to be drawn in thru the hole shown below.

A thermister on the back side of this hole will sense the air flow. The thermister heats up to 130° and when cooled by air flow will power up the HE2000. Blowing in to this hole with a straw will also power up the unit.

Collector Cell Washing

• Fiberglass Wash Tub
• CalClean Detergent

We recommend soaking the collector cells. Soaking cleans better than the dishwasher and cleans better than a pressure washer. The cells typically do not need to be cleaned as often as the prefilters.

After cleaning, inspect the cell plates for dirt, hold the cell up to light. View the plates through the ionizing section to see the dirtiest side. Note that only every other plate captures dirt.

The plates are either charged or grounded. The charged particles are attracted to the grounded plates and repelled by the charged plates. Closely check the grounded plates, where as the charged plates will clean easily.
