Clean Effects
How does TRANE CleanEffects stack up against other air cleaners?

LMS Technologies is a technology consulting company that specializes in air flow measurement, filtration testing and particle analysis. Environmental Health & Engineering is an environmental consulting and engineering services company that is dedicated to ensuring safe and productive environments, and is co-founded by Dr. John D. Spengler, PhD of the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard.
- Removal of up to 99.98% of particles and allergens from your filtered indoor air.
- An industry-leading clean air delivery rate of 1,200.
- Low operating costs, with no replacement filters to buy.
- Cleaning indicators easily visible on the outside of the unit.
- Easy to clean filters–just vacuum or rinse once every 3 to 9 months (depending on usage).
- Easy installation.
- Quiet operation.
- Minimal ozone generated, less than 5 PPB (parts per billion), well below the 10 PPB FDA voluntary emission limit for medical devices and significantly below some ionic-type room appliances that may reach hundreds of PPBs.
- Low pressure drop.
The standard air cleaners on the market have filters that are very dense. Meaning they try to stop the dust by trapping it in a slightly porous filter. The fewer the pores the more dust it can trap. However, this not only stops the dust and dirt, but it also stops the air from moving as well. In other words, the amount of air that goes through your system is reduced so you may not be as comfortable. Less air is cleaned and less efficiently. This is called pressure drop. The revolutionary TRANE CleanEffects air filtration system has the lowest pressure drop with the highest efficiency possible. Our unique patented technology is designed to let air flow freely through the most advanced filtration system available. The result, more of your air is cleaned faster and more effectively than anything else on the market.
Perfect Fit
The air in your home circulates through your heating or cooling system, carrying millions of airborne particles through the ductwork. When this air goes through an electronic air cleaner, the prefilter traps the majority of the large particles. The smaller particles continue to pass through the prefilter and receive a positive electrical charge. Collector plates, which carry a negative charge, attract these small particles like magnets, holding them until they're washed off. Cleaner, filtered air is then circulated throughout your home. The 1” filter that comes with your system is intended to protect your system but doesn’t do much to clean the smaller particles in the air.
Particles in the air often aggravate conditions like allergies and asthma. With an electronic air cleaner, your heating and cooling system does more than circulate air-it actually works to clean it. A system that includes an electronic air cleaner can remove up to 95% of unwanted pollutants from the air passing through it, such as:
- Dust
- Pollen
- Animal hair and dander
- Dust mites
- Lint
- Smoke
- Cooking grease
- Some bacteria
Also, since an air cleaner draws the particles out of the air, your home’s interior surfaces, such as wallpaper and paint, stay cleaner longer, helping prevent the kind of particle build up that can cause reactions in family members with allergies or asthma.
Adding a Trane air cleaner to your central cooling and heating system can make an enormous difference in the indoor air quality of your home while using less energy than a 40-watt bulb.
Fresh Effects
Better indoor airExchanges stale indoor air for an equal amount of fresher outdoor air.

Cabinet is powder-coated for an appliance look. All component materials are rigorously tested for long-lasting performance and durability.
Every TRANE FreshEffects Energy Recover Ventilator is packed with high-quality components. Each helps ensure that you can count on FreshEffects to deliver fresh air, time after time.
Today’s homes are better insulated and tightly sealed to save energy. This prevents a number of home odors (cooking smells, pet odors, paint or new carpet fumes) from escaping. TRANE FreshEffects helps these fumes and odors to dissipate by bringing fresher outdoor air into your home.
