The AC500 HEPA Air Cleaner is designed to be directly mounted on the return air duct, or with the optional collar installation kit HMC 500 for remote mounting. Our use of an advanced pull and push design offers a double sound barrier. The motor pulls the air through the pleated filter and charcoal filter HMK 500, then pushes it through the HEPA Media Filter HF 500 which acts as a double sound attenuator. The process is very quiet, and with zero pressure drop, will not interfere with the ability of the heating/cooling system blower to deliver clean, safe, healthy air to the building.
