About Dynamic Air Quality Solutions
In 1982, two university professors from Carleton University in Ontario, Canada
developed a design for a residential air-cleaning application that provided a simple
means of replacing dirty media. They started Engineering Dynamics, Ltd. (EDL) and
began manufacturing 1” and 2” polarized-media electronic air cleaners, room con-
sole units, and overhead ceiling-mount units. All of the polarized-media air cleaners
on the market today can be traced back to beginnings at EDL, although subsequent
patents and refinements have created discernible differences in product designs and
features.
EDL was acquired in 1993 by Environmental Dynamics Group, now known as Dy-
namic Air Quality Solutions, the manufacturer of Dynamic Air Cleaners. Initially the
focus was residential, but there was a clear need for improved air quality in com-
mercial and industrial applications. This resulted in a focus on technology enhance-
ments, new configurations, and a complete line of commercial products that now
dominate in some applications, such as casinos.
Although there were a number of different configurations that came before the Dy-
namic V8, all were based on polarizing (charging) fibers in a filter and particles in
the air to generate an electric force between those fibers and particles. While the
underlying principles have been around for many decades, only in recent years has
the technology been fully understood and optimized to provide consistent, reliable
performance.
As a result of this research and development, we proudly present the Dynamic V8
Air Cleaner. As the new standard in air cleaning, the Dynamic V8 VL Series deliv-
ers maximum performance using an insignificant energy volume. The Dynamic V8
outperforms all existing air cleaning and filtration products in the market. It controls
contaminants and slashes filter-related maintenance costs, resulting in the lowest
total cost of building ownership. The Dynamic V8 is designed to meet the rigorous
requirements of green buildings, data centers, hospitals, and pharmaceutical and
clean manufacturing.
Dynamic V8 VL Series Air Cleaners
The Dynamic V8’s patented technology has been commercially available for years
in a heavy duty arrangement with eight filter media pads. The Dynamic V8 VL Series
of air-cleaners are compact and designed to work specifically with LG Multi V line of
High-Static-Ducted Indoor Units. They are available in two configurations: The low-
profile 4VL, model and the ultra-low-profile 2VL model.
Getting Help

Configurations
Dynamic V8 VL-series air cleaners can be installed using various configurations,
depending on the high-static-ducted indoor unit used and the height of the plenum
where they will be installed. There are five standard-profile configurations, eight
low-profile configurations, and two mixed-profile configurations. Configurations may
share the same plan (top) view because they differ only in height.

Configuration Code
Each configuration is defined by three qualities:
• Which air cleaner type or types it uses
• How many of each air cleaner type it uses
• How many return air plenums it requires
Therefore, the code for each configuration is in the form:
L<count>R<count> or S<count>R<count>
Where:
S = standard profile (4VL)
L = low profile (2VL)
R = return-air plenum
<count> = quantity
Configuration Code Examples
For example, S3R3 means three standard profile (4VL) air cleaners coupled to three
return-air plenums, and L1R1 means one low profile (2VL) air cleaner coupled to
one return-air plenum.
Some profiles have both standard profile and low profile air cleaners, so their code
is slightly longer. For example, L1S1R2 means one low profile (2VL) and one stan-
dard profile (4VL) air-cleaner coupled with two return-air plenums.
Selecting a Configuration
To select a configuration, you must know the indoor unit model number in question
and the height of the plenum area you intend to install it in. The underlying property
that dictates which configurations are available to an indoor unit model is that mod-
el’s air flow requirements. The configurations available may or may not be dictated
by the available plenum area height.
Plenum-Area Height Restrictions
Plenum area height restrictions are not defined in the configuration type (S1R1,
L2R2, and others); however, which configuration you choose may be dictated by the
plenum area you have available. While perhaps not optimal, you can install the ultra
low-profile 2VL model in any plenum. In severely height constricted plenums, the
ultra low profile 2VL model will probably be your only alternative. Refer to figures 2
and 3.
