..22" is a very significant load on a blower in a residential furnace.

You have internal losses of the fan cabinet (air entering the fan),plus
a non ducted loss probably 1.25 times the velocity head of the
discharge from the fan for a blow through application, the pressure
loss of pushing air through a heat exchanger, perhaps 0.25 or more
inches through a wet coil and then leaving something some pressure for
the ductwork.

The blower on a furnace probably will handle 0.5" of external static.
If this filter system is 0.22 inches when clean, it will soon clog up
and the pressure drop will increase. Would need an oversized blower
to run this filter with central AC on a furnace, filter would eat up
pressure normally reserved for the cooling coil,.

It can be argued that reduced airflow gives more dehumidification, but
also be aware that in heating reduced airflow results in cycling on
high limit and premature failure of heat exchangers.

May work problem free in a climate where required cooling CFM was lower
than required heating CFM, say a 75MBH 90% furnace with a 50F ATR and
1.5 to 2 tons of cooling.

I am surprised at your intrest in this POS system when you could just
patent "Nick's Idiotic Breeze".

Put an old 14" monitor inside a 20x20 box add a throw away filter and a
grainger fan and you will catch more dust than an ionic breeze. Throw
in some swedish microfibre cleaning cloths and an access door and you
are all set. Installation is easy, just need a duplex receptacle to
plug in the blower and monitor.
