There is dust in every apartment, no matter how many times they have not cleaned it, especially figurines, ivy toys, books and other interior items “help” in its accumulation. In addition, in every modern home, there are objects that can be called a "magnet" for dust, such as a computer, TV and other equipment.
In order to correct this situation, companies have developed many different electronic devices that clean the room: dust collectors, air purifiers, ionizers, etc.
Modern air purifier: a brief description
Today, the most modern device for cleaning rooms from dust are electrostatic air purifiers. The principle of operation of standard devices is based on the work of air ionization, due to which the “filling” of the device captures dust particles and sucks them, while they pre-receive an electric charge.
All modern dust collector devices are highly efficient, due to which the room is cleaned of:
- fine dust particles;
- soot, soot;
- tobacco smoke etc.
In addition, the space is filled with freshness, the scent of ozone, and toxins, bacteria, pesticides and various viruses are excluded, but it is very important to decide which type of equipment to choose.
Important! The undoubted advantage of the choice of modern devices is their silent operation, which does not distract from everyday activities, does not interfere with sleep, etc.
The principle of choosing an air purifier
Each device is designed and designed for a certain meter of room, therefore, before choosing a device, it is necessary to correctly measure the dimensions of the room into which the dust collector is installed.
- If ionizers and cleaners need to be selected for each room, then each device is better to choose according to its technical indicators.
- If it is planned that in the future the cleaner for the house will be transferred to different rooms, you can choose it correctly from the calculation of the dimensions of the largest room. Thanks to this, the room will be cleaned much more efficiently and faster.
- If you need to choose an air purifier for a small room, for example, for a nursery or a kitchen, then it is better to choose a small car appliance from a wide range.
Air purifier for home and apartment
Before you purchase a fairly expensive device for cleaning and ionizing air in a room, you need to decide what problems it should solve. Based on the initial values, the technical data of the device, its cost and, most importantly, efficiency will be regulated.
Rid a lot of dust
Electrostatic devices with built-in plasma filters, today have a rating of 8 points out of 10 possible.
Dust (more than 90%) is captured by the device due to the active electric charge. Devices are easy to wash, clean, there is no need to constantly change and clean the filters.
If any member of the family is allergic in the house, air purification devices with HEPA filters are best. The device is simple to operate and clean, the filter changes in degree of contamination, but not more often than 1 time in 6 months. HEPA filters are most effective in conditions of high dust concentration, as They are a continuous protective shield for moving dust particles.
Ionizers clean the surface by working in a horizontal plane.The advantage of this choice is the fact that the devices do not accumulate dust inside, therefore they practically do not need to be cleaned, however, the efficiency and rating of their work is estimated at 7 points out of 10 possible.
Acute dust allergy devices
Electrostatic devices are not particularly effective in such a situation, since they capture only 90% of particles that are harmful and dangerous for allergy sufferers, and, nevertheless, some that fly by the dust collector.
Cleaners with HEPA filters are the most effective devices, the presence of which in allergic homes is simply necessary. Such devices, according to surveys and studies, have a rating of 8 out of 10.
Ionizers, due to their technical characteristics, are best suited for this, due to the fact that they have the ability to remove a maximum of dust particles in the room.
Sink devices work on the principle of processing all the air in the room, driving it through the filters. The efficiency of such devices is at least 95-97%.
Exclude cigarette smoke from the room
Photocatalytic ionizers equipped with an electrostatic filter will be the best appliance in the house to help cope with tobacco or any other smoke.
Ozonizers in this situation will help decompose harmful smoke in the space of the room into completely safe carbon dioxide.
Devices of sinks are not so effective in combating cigarette smoke.
Equipment equipped with carbon filters does not have a high degree of efficiency in this matter, since it is quite problematic for it to immediately drive so much polluted air through the filters.
Cleaning the room from exhaust gases, burning, automobile emissions
Ozonizers will help break down or oxidize any odors, as well as small components of an organic and chemical nature.
The technique of the photocatalytic principle of operation helps decompose harmful exhaust gases and fumes, even if people are present in the room (efficiently and quietly). Photocatalytic air purifiers have a rating of 9 points out of 10.
An air purifier with a carbon filter works on the principle of adsorption of aroma molecules, but the effectiveness of such devices in this matter is much lower. Such devices have a rating of only 2 points out of 10 possible.
Room disinfection
Photocatalytic air purifiers operate on the principle of ultraviolet disinfection of the room, together with the photocatalysis reaction. Thanks to such devices, more than 95% of various bacteria, pathogens of viral diseases, microbes, etc. are excluded from the premises.
Ozonizers-air purifiers are 2-3 times more effective than other devices. Cleaning and disinfection of the room is much faster and better.
Dry air in an apartment or house
Purifiers \ humidifiers with the help of filters purify the air. Humidifiers, as cleaning devices, are not particularly effective; their research rating is 6 out of 10, since they allow more than 20% of dust to pass through.
Sink devices simultaneously clean the air and moisturize, soften it, thanks to such multifunctionality, the rating of devices is rated at 8 out of 10 points.
Fatigue, drowsiness, and insomnia can mean that there is “bad” air in the room.
In addition to cleaning space, ozonizers have a beneficial effect on health and are natural immunostimulants.
The ionizer improves health, improves overall well-being.
It is worth remembering that it is not only the dust itself that is dangerous for allergy sufferers, but also its organic components, such as fungi and mites, which to remove from the premises is to make life easier for a person suffering from allergies.The specially designed photocatalytic type air purifiers and special ozonizers, which are equipped with a special filter that is not easy to clean the dust, will help to cope with such a task - it completely removes it from the room. Photocatalytic cleaners disinfect the room space with built-in ultraviolet lamps and special catalysts. In addition, such devices kill toxic chemical compounds and various harmful microorganisms inside a room or house.
Ozonizers and a similar kind of technology exclude microorganisms and harmful substances from the apartment and house, due to the active influence of oxidizing qualities. Ozonizers can work correctly even when no residents are in the room.
Rating of the most popular manufacturers
Technical characteristics are of the greatest importance if you have to choose an air purifier for an apartment. However, it is worth paying attention to the company of the manufacturer of the equipment. In order for the devices to work as long as possible, it is worth giving preference to companies with a reliable reputation and having a high rating among consumers.
- Ballu All equipment manufactured by the Ballu brand has 4 degrees of cleaning, of various types.
- Timberk. The Timberk brand is a Swedish manufacturer of air purification equipment designed for large cities and metropolitan areas with high levels of exhaust gases and dust.
- JET. The company "JET" produces equipment for cleaning and humidification of air in the premises of offices and residential apartments, houses. Each device consists of several units, separately installed in each room.
- Panasonic. The company produces stationary classic air purifiers, which make it possible to effectively clean the room, moisten it and ozonize the air.
No matter what type of device you select, the benefits of having an air purifier in the room are obvious.
