Air Purifier Types
HEPA, activated carbon, oxidation, ionizer, ozone … Confused? Non Today, with an air purifier can be indispensable to a healthy lifestyle, especially for those of us who live in polluted cities.There there are different types of air cleaners (AKA air purifiers), then this post I write on various types of air purifiers available. I do not want to go into intricate details, but a general knowledge of technology to purify the air is good to have, especially if you plan to get one, but I do not know what choose.
Filter based cleaners air PurificationFilter second job "particles" filter and allergens by size. The air is pushed by a fan through the filter and particles.HEPA are small (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are said 99.97% of air particles of 0.3 microns or more to remove. Filter based air purifiers typically have a pre-filter to prolong the life of the filter to capture large particles such as dust. Pre-filters can be washed and detergent reused.
Air that use filters are good at capturing allergens, but do not have the ability to trap smaller particles, such as chemical gases, odors, smoke, carbon, etc.. Air activated air purifiers PurifiersThis type are very effective in capturing chemical fumes and odors. The activated carbon filters are made of highly porous materials that react chemically with the particles, these filters trap larger particles, but with the use of HEPA filters, air purification combination.
IonizersIonizer important work by charging the air charges positive or negative and then save the previously charged particles from collector plates have opposite charge. Most ionizers are fanless and silent, but because of this are much lower amounts of air through the collection of documents, making them less effective in cleaning the air. Although not the air to kill viruses and bacteria, it can capture most of the particles. These units do not remove the smoke or other chemicals.
