INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for selecting the Infinity T.,Air Purifier for your
home comfort system! The Infinity" Air Purifier is proven to
remove and kill airborne germs and allergens, including viruses,
bacteria, and mold spores. The Infinity T" Air Purifier is a
cornerstone of Carrier's Healthy Home Solutions for providing
healthier, cleaner air in your home.
HOW IT WORKS
The Infinity _" Air Purifier provides extremely high filtration
performance while killing captured contaminants, including
viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. The Infinity" Air Purifier
treats the entire air-stream through a state of the art, three-stage
process, exclusive to Carrier.
In stage one, the particles are electrically charged by a
precision-point ionization array as they enter the Infinity _" Air
Purifier.
In stage two, the charged particles are electrically attracted to the
air purification cartridge, which is located within an electric field.
In stage three, captured particles are killed by electrical current
flow and ion bombardment.
The Infinity :'' Air Purifier is CSA certified for shock and
electrical fire hazard only.
La Infinity" Air Purifier certification CSA vise uniquement les
risques de choc electrique et.

PERSONAL INJURY HAZARD
Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury.
Ozone in concentrations above 0.05 PPM may be
hazardous to health.
Des concentrations d'ozone superieures a 0.05 PPM
peuvent etre nocives pour la sante.
APPLICATION CONSIDERATIONS
The Infinity T_ Air Purifier is designed for use in the return air
duct of a forced air heating, cooling, and ventilation system.
Models GAPABXCCI620, GAPABXCC2020 and
GAPABXCC2420 are specifically designed for use in systems
with a fan coil.
Air Conditioning
The Infinity T" Air Purifier should be installed in a system so that
all the return air is circulated through the air purifier. It should be
located upstream of the fan coil This will help keep the fan coil
clean and prevent condensation from forming within the
Infinity _' Air Purifier.
Humidifiers
An evaporative humidifier can be mounted upstream of the
Infinity _' Air Purifier. It is best to install atomizing humidifiers
downstream of the air purifier because hard water salt deposits
and water droplets may damage the air purifier. If an atomizing
humidifier must be mounted upstream of the Infinity _" Air
Purifier, it should be mounted as far upstream as possible (at least
6 ft. recommended), and a standard disposable furnace filter
should be mounted between the humidifier and the air purifier to
trap hard water salt deposits and water droplets.
Transitions
If the return air duct or fan coil openings do not fit the Infinity _"
Air Purifier cabinet openings, gradual transitions are
recommended to reduce air turbulence and maximize efficiency.
No more than 20 degrees (about 4 in. per running ft.) of
expansion should be used on each side of the transition fitting.
Turning Vanes
If the Infinity" Air Purifier is installed adjacent to a 90 degree
duct elbow, turning vanes should be added inside duct to improve
air distribution across the face of the air purifier.
Electrical Power /Air Flow Sensor
The Infinity _" Air Purifier should only be powered when airflow
is present. This model is designed for use with a fan coil and is
equipped with an air flow sensor which provides power only
when the fan coil blower is operating (See Fig. 2). Infinity" Air
Purifier models GAPABXCC1620, GAPABXCC2020, and
GAPABXCC2420 are designed to be powered from a 208/230
VAC power source.
