The Aprilaire Model 5000 Electronic Air Cleaner's performance exceeds
all other whole-house air cleaners on the market today. Its breakthrough
technology delivers record-setting performance. Even trapping particles
as small as a virus at an efficiency of 80%. Unlike standard plate-type
electronic air cleaners that lose efficiency over time and require
regular maintenance, the Aprilaire Electronic Air Cleaner's special
electronically enhanced media permanently traps particulate, so you get
the efficiency you expect all the time. And the special Aprilaire media
only needs to be changed once a year. Maintenance is simple!
Through the marvels of advanced technology, of course.
Particles entering the air cleaner pass through a control electrode,
which focuses and intensifies an electrical field generated by the
ionizing wires. The particles are charged in the electrical field and
then collected on grounded micro-fiber media.
