Choosing an air cleaner

Mcooker: best recipes About technique

Choosing an air cleanerWhen the heat sets in, and after it the surrounding air begins to deteriorate due to fires or pollen, then buying a special air purifier will be a logical choice for any person.

If earlier for these purposes various air conditioners were widely bought, having HEPA filters or biofilters in their design, now why pay substantial funds to buy and install an air conditioner when you can choose a full-function air cleaner.

Most of them have a cylindrical shape, which allows you to place various types of filters and an electric motor inside.

Thanks to filters, the air passing through the device is thoroughly cleaned. As a rule, the first line of defense is a pre-filter consisting of polypropylene with catechin. Such a filter allows you to remove all large suspended mechanical particles that are present in the air.

If you need to remove the smell of burning from a nearby raging fire or nicotine, you can pay attention to carbon filters, which are able to reliably absorb not only unnecessary odors, but also certain chemical volatile substances.

Photocatalytic filters are valued for their ability to destroy any organic and inorganic microparticles due to the effect of hard ultraviolet radiation on carbon dioxide and water.

Choosing an air cleanerThe filtration efficiency of passing air reaches the highest values ​​- 95% (but only for particles larger than 0.001 microns) in just one pass. And the more air will pass through air purifier, the cleaner the air will become. These filters are appreciated for being able to effectively fight not only viruses and bacteria (this is useful in winter), but also all kinds of odors - tobacco or pets. Moreover, these filters are able to purify from such harmful gases (carbon monoxide, formaldehyde), which are formed in abundance in the kitchen as a result of cooking.

Electrostatic filters are capable of removing particles from the air down to 0.01 microns. In this case, the untreated air passes through a special ionization chamber, in which all microparticles instantly become positively charged. And the filter plates themselves have a negative charge. The result is obvious - all debris and particles are inexorably deposited on negatively charged particles.

But all of these filters are considered particularly complex. Sometimes you can find such an option when there is only a foam filter that allows you to clean the air exclusively from mechanical inclusions. Filters of this class are considered the cheapest. But it is better to take this option, which has multi-stage echeloned protection.

The noise level of the air cleaners is at the lowest level. If you turn on the device at full power, then its noise will be no more than 47-48 dB (the noise of the air conditioner hair dryer). If you need to turn on the device at night, then it can be set to weak mode. And the noise level of the electric motor will be no more than 16-24 dB, which is already considered the optimal indicator in most cases.
