Chapter 1 – Air Cleaning Systems and Indoor Air Quality
Chapter 1 – Air Cleaning Systems and Indoor Air Quality
1.1 Improving Indoor Air Quality
Air cleaning can play an important role when it comes to improving indoor air quality. However, it should be noted
that air cleaning should be used in conjunction with pollution source control and ventilation, wherever possible.
Strategy to improve indoor air quality
To tackle any indoor air quality problem, keep the following three-step strategy in mind:
1. Eliminate or reduce the air pollution source as much as possible. Source control is by far the most e ective way
to improve indoor air quality, since it deals with air pollution at the point of origin.
2. Ensure that su cient fresh air is entering the room from outside. Air cleaners are not a substitution for su cient
ventilation. They are not able to reverse the conversion of oxygen (O
2
) into carbon dioxide (CO
2
), caused by brea-
thing and combustion processes.
3. Ensure the IQAir system can clean enough air to cope with the size of the indoor environment. The actual hourly
air volume cleaned by the system should be at least double the air volume of the indoor space. If the rate at which
pollutants enter the room air is high or the indoor air quality requirements are stringent, the hourly air delivery
of the HVAC system needs to exceed the room air volume several times. To achieve the appropriate level of air
turnover, it may be necessary to employ supplemental stand-alone air cleaners.
Air Cleaning Results
Although air cleaners may be advertised and sold to be suitable for use in speci c indoor environments and to deal
with speci c indoor air quality problems, the manufacturer and distributors make no claim as to the speci c air
cleaning results that are achieved under the user’s individual operating conditions. The air quality improvements
that can be realised with the IQAir® system (as with any air cleaner) in indoor environments depends to a signi cant
degree on individual circumstances, which are out of the control of the manufacturer or distributors. Important
factors which will in uence the air quality improvements that can be achieved in an indoor environment with an air
cleaner include:
• Type of air pollutants present
• Intensity of the pollutant source(s)
• Pollutant concentration
• Size of the indoor environment
• Operating speed of the unit
• Saturation state of the lters in the air cleaner
Consult a quali ed specialist to determine an e ective and comprehensive indoor air quality strategy.
1.2 PerfectPro® Operational Principles
The PerfectPro is a high-performance air cleaning system that connects to the return air duct of a forced air Heating,
Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system.
The PerfectPro system is a mechanical ltration system, and does not generate harmful ozone or charged particles.
As a passive ltration system, it requires the operation of the HVAC to clean the air in the home.
Particle Filtration
The PerfectPro system is equipped with a high performance particle lter that combines high e ciency particle
ltration with low air ow resistance. Filter life is a nominal 1 year, based on 50% duty cycle.
Formaldehyde and Ozone Filtration
The PerfectPro CF is also equipped with a ColdFire® catalyst lter element for the reduction of formaldehyde and
ozone. The catalyst operates at room temperature, and does not require the use of UV lights for activation. Filter life
is a nominal 6 years. The ColdFire® lter is optional, and can be added or removed as desired. The particle lter is
mandatory, and must be in place to provide particle ltration for the HVAC system.

Chapter 1 – Air Cleaning Systems and Indoor Air Quality
1.3 Application Considerations
Mount on the Return Side of Air Handler
Mount the PerfectPro on the return side of the air handler. This will help keep the coils clean and reduce maintenance.
Humidi ers
Mount the PerfectPro upstream of humidi ers, so that the water mist does not come in contact with the lters.
UV lights
Germicidal UV lights can cause degradation of the lter. The UV light should be located out of line of sight, or a
minimum of 3 feet from the lter.
Duct Transitions
Filtration is most e ective when the air ow is even across the
face of the lter. Therefore, if the duct is a di erent size or shape
than the lter cabinet opening, then use a duct transition to help
spread the air ow across the full lter area instead of concentrating
the air ow on a small spot. Use gradual transitions (less than 20°
expansion) to reduce air turbulence and duct friction.
Turning Vanes
If the lter cabinet is installed next to an elbow or angle tting, then
add turning vanes inside the angle to distribute air ow more evenly
across the face of the lter.

Chapter 4 –Installation Instructions
Chapter 4 – Installation Instructions
WARNING:
Always shut o the electrical power supply to the HVAC before working on the appliance.
1.
Remove the PerfectPro from the carton
2. Remove the access panel door from the lter cabinet.
The door is secured with four (4pcs) thumbscrews.
3. Remove the lter(s) from the lter cabinet.
Caution: do not touch the surface of the catalyst lter element.
4. Inspect the installation area. Remove existing lters or systems
that may add additional pressure drop to the system.
5. Choose an installation location between the main return duct and the furnace. Position the lter cabinet so
that the access panel is readily accessible for checking and replacing the lter. Allow at least 26 inches (660 mm)
clearance in front of the lter cabinet.
6. Orient the lter cabinet so the wide lter channel (for the particle lter) is on the air inlet side. The narrow lter
channel (for the catalyst lter) should be on the side closest to the air handler. See also the air ow direction
arrow on the lter channel
7. Attach ducting. Duct transitions may be necessary to properly mount the lter cabinet. Be sure to follow the
local installation codes.
8. When the lter cabinet is mounted directly to the air handler or existing duct, mark the inside opening of the
lter cabinet and all mounting screw locations. Drill the marked mounting holes with a 1/8” diameter drill bit.
Remove the marked lter cabinet opening with metal cutting shears or equivalent.
9. Attach the lter cabinet to the air handler or ductwork using ¼” hex head sheet metal screws (#8 x ½”).
10. Seal the lter cabinet and/or duct connections with foil tape or equivalent.
Important: all leaks on the return side of the system may cause dirty air to leak into the return air stream.
Leakage also occurs in many air handlers via the blower door. The blower door should also be sealed with foil
tape for the best air cleaning results.
11. Write the installation date on the lter labels, and reinstall the lter(s) in their respective lter channels.
The lter labels should be visible when installed, and the air ow direction arrows should match the arrow on
the lter channel.
12. Reattach the access panel door to the lter cabinet. The door is secured with four (4pcs) thumbscrews.
13. Check and inspect the system for leakage.
14. Place the HVAC back into service. HVAC must operate within the HVAC manufacturer’s recommended tempe-
rature and pressure drop requirements.
