1.0 INTRODUCTION
These installation, operation, and maintenance instructions describe how the greenfan®
bipolar ionizer shown in Figure 1 is installed, operated, and maintained in the following
field installation configurations:
•on an inlet of a fan of a Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC) system
behind an access panel or a cover;
•on the inlet of the fan of an air purifier behind the cover; and
•on the inlet of a ventilation fan behind a protective grill.
The product may also be installed by a manufacturer inside the HVAC system, inside
the air purifier, or inside the fan.
The greenfan® bipolar ionizer shown in Figure 1 is an Intertek® ETL listed product and
is tested by Intertek® to conform to UL STD 867 and is certified to CSA C22.2 #187.
Intertek® tests verified the 24-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) ozone for this
product is 0.0 parts per million by volume (ppmv) when tested in a 30 m3 chamber.
The product meets the Intertek® Sustainability Verified Zero Ozone program, meets UL
2998, and does not emit more than 0.005 ppm as tested per UL 867. The product is
marked as 24 Volts Alternating Current (VAC) for installation in a Class 2 circuit.
The patented greenfan® bipolar ionizer deactivates aerosolized viruses passing through
the positive and negative ion plasma produced by the positive and negative carbon fiber
electrode brushes. The ion concentration at the positive-ion electrode is greater than
+200 million ions per cubic centimeter (ions/cc) and the ion concentration at the
negative-ion electrode is -200 million ions/cc. The ion concentration declines with
distance from the carbon fiber electrode brushes. Independent lab tests by Innovative
Bioanalysis demonstrate that the greenfan® bipolar ionizer installed on a blower fan
inlet circulating air in a 20-feet by 8-feet by 8-feet chamber reduced an initial SARS-
CoV-2 (COVID-19) Delta Variant aerosol concentration by 97.6% within 60 minutes.

The greenfan® bipolar ionizer is installed on the fan inlet and is electrically connected to
a transformer. The greenfan® bipolar ionizer is energized when the fan is turned on or
during a thermostat call for cooling or heating. The greenfan® bipolar ionizer
automatically adjusts to variable input voltages of 20 to 30 VAC (or other input
voltages), and creates a consistent unbalanced high-voltage output on positive and
negative carbon fiber electrodes to provide a balanced bipolar ion concentration per US
Patent 11172236.
NOTICE
The greenfan® bipolar ionizer should only be installed and used as directed in this
installation manual. Please read the entire installation manual before use. Do not use
unless properly installed.
RECOMMENDATION
Install activated carbon electrostatically charged pleated MERV 13 (or better) air filters
to remove dust, pollen, dust mites, pet dander, smoke, Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOCs), and other airborne particles. Control VOCs at the source and use adequate
outdoor air ventilation to dilute VOCs. Do not install the greenfan® bipolar ionizer in
buildings with high VOCs. For technical product information, please contact:
