GeneralAire Guide to Indoor Air Quality Products

<#>
A1
The air we breathe indoors is 2 to 5 times more
polluted than the air we breathe outdoors!
Dry air is like a sponge,
The average person spends 90% of a 24 hour day indoors.
Our health could be at risk!
Improper humidity levels, dangerous gas molecules, mold
spores, germs, and microscopic particulates all affect our
long term health and comfort. GeneralAire has the answer to
significantly
reduce harmful
airborne
contaminants
in the air we
breathe. Install
a GeneralAire
Humidifier,
UVC
Photocatalytic
Air Purifier,
HEPA Air
Cleaner, and
a MAC Series
Air Cleaner for
a complete
indoor air
quality system.
it soaks up moisture from wherever it
can find it.
When air becomes too dry, moisture is drawn from people,
plants, wood, wool, cotton and even your pets. The results
can be damaging, expensive and uncomfortable.
Humidity For Comfort
Research has shown that 40% to 60% relative humidity
is ideal for today’s homes.
Outside this range, bacteria, fungi, viruses and mites thrive.
Proper relative humidity provides a comfortable environment
for your woodwork, your furniture, your plants, your pets and
especially you and your family.

Humidity Can Save Money Too!
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention
categorizes indoor air pollution into three phases:
Particulates, Gases, and Germs.
35% of allergic reactions
are caused by the levels
of particulates in the
air we breathe indoors.
34% of allergic reactions
are caused by levels of
microorganisms (germs)
in the air we breathe
indoors. 31% of allergic
reactions are caused by
the amount of chemical
gases found present in
the air we breathe in our
homes and at work.

As moisture evaporates from your body, it cools the surface
of your skin, making you feel cooler. Controlled humidity from
GENERALAire’s Elite Steam Humidifier allows you the luxury of
dialing the thermostat back, thus reducing annual heating bills.
For example, 68°F at 40% relative humidity feels just as warm
as 74°F at 20% relative humidity. Setting your thermostat back
by as little as three degrees can reduce annual heating bills by
as much as 5%.
How much Humidity is right?
Calculate the total cubic feet of house
• Total square footage X Average ceiling height
Calculate the Load (lbs/hr)
• Total cubic feet X Table desired condition
• Gallons per day = Load (lbs/hr) X 2.88
• Add 5% to humidity load per fireplace
Pounds of Moisture per Cubic Foot

Elite Series Humidifiers
We spend most of our days indoors. It is important to control the indoor relative
humidity to maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor air environment.
Very low humidity in your home in winter can result in dry, itchy skin or dry
sinuses and nose. Dry skin can crack and peel and will look unattractive and can
lead to infections. Dry noses and sinuses may lead to a clogging or swelling and
closing of the air passages and cause breathing difficulty at night. Choosing a
GeneralAire Humidifier will improve your comfort indoors and maintain a healthy
environment so you can breathe a little easier.
• A portion of the heated air from
the furnace passes through
a water-soaked pad where it
absorbs additional moisture
and then returns for distribution
throughout your home.
• Water is metered into the
KineticFlo® Trough and dispersed
uniformly across the pad.
Unevaporated water drains
from the bottom of the unit to
eliminate mineral build-up.
• DuraPlast® Automotive grade UV
stable molded plastics.

Importance of Air Filtration
While it’s easy to focus on visible pollutants…smokestacks, vehicle exhaust
and the outdoors, the air inside your home can be even more hazardous to your
health. In fact, indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than the air we
breathe outdoors. Studies show, that most people spend as much as 90% of
their time indoors.

4002
G99 Air Filter Gage: Since the cleanliness of all
homes are not equal, GeneralAire offers an easy-to use, easy-to-read gage. The air filter media will
load, capturing airborne particulates, raising the gage indicator to the red-zone, letting you know it’s time to change your filter.

Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)
An "overall" reporting value of a 52.2-evaluated air filter is the expression of the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value
(MERV). The MERV is a single number that is used, along with the air velocity at which the test was performed; to simplify
the extensive data generated by the method of testing. MERV is expressed on a 16 point scale and is derived from the
Particle Size Efficiency (PSE) for each of the three groups. (See Table 2: MERV Parameters.) The average PSE for each of
the three groups (E1, E2, and E3) is referenced against the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value Parameters (see Table 2:
MERV Parameters.) Move up the appropriate Range Group (E1, E2, and E3) on Table 2 and record the MERV to the left of
the first true statement. Do this for all three groups.
Standard Test Airflow Rates
The Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) must be stated with the air
velocity at which the filter was tested. For example, if the filter was tested with
an air velocity of 492 FPM and was found to be MERV 10, the filter's Minimum
Efficiency Reporting Value would be MERV 10 @ 492 FPM. ASHRAE Standard
52.2 tests are to be conducted at one of seven airflow rates:
118 FPM (0.60 m/s)
246 FPM (1.25 m/s)
295 FPM (1.50 m/s)
374 FPM (1.90 m/s)

This chart is intended to illustrate the potential effectiveness of ultraviolet wavelength exposure to various
bacteria microbes and is based on credible university and independent laboratory studies. General Filters,
Inc. does not make any claims to accuracy of information.
Ultraviolet wavelength potency is measured at one meter from the lamp. An accepted standard measurement by
lamp manufacturers. Calculate ultraviolet radiation potency at measured distances by multiplying the potency of
the lamp (µW/cm² @ 1 meter) by the potency factor. Example: Multiply the GUV100A83 potency output of (180
µW/cm² @ 1 meter) by the distance of 2 inches (69 Potency Factor) = 12,420 µW-sec/cm².
