How to choose the right air purifier for an apartment and a house

In every apartment there is dust, no matter how many times it has not been cleaned, statuettes, ivy toys, books and other interior items especially "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 appliances.

In order to remedy 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 premises from dust are electrostatic air cleaners. The principle of operation of standard devices is based on the operation of air ionization, due to which the "filling" of the device captures dust particles and sucks them in, while they receive an electrical charge beforehand.

All modern dust collectors 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 aroma of ozone, and toxins, bacteria, pesticides and various viruses are excluded, but it is very important to decide which type of technology to choose.

Important! The undoubted advantage of choosing modern devices is their silent operation, which does not distract from daily activities, does not interfere with sleep, etc.

The principle of choosing an air purifier

Each device is designed and designed for a certain footage of the room, therefore, before choosing a device, it is necessary to correctly measure the dimensions of the room in which the dust collector is to be installed.

1. If ionizers and purifiers need to be chosen for each room, then it is better to choose each device according to its technical parameters.
2. If it is planned that in the future the cleaner for the house will be transferred to different rooms, you can choose it correctly based on the dimensions of the largest room. Thanks to this, the room will be cleaned much more efficiently and faster.
3. 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 device among the large assortment.

Air purifier for home and apartment

Before purchasing a rather 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.

Free the room from a lot of dust

Devices of the electrostatic type 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 an active electric charge. The devices are easy to clean, clean, there is no need to constantly change and clean filters.

If any family member has allergies in the house, air purification devices with HEPA filters are better suited.The device is simple to operate and clean, the filter changes according to the degree of contamination, but not more often than once every 6 months. HEPA filters are most effective in conditions of high dust concentration, because 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 cleaning, however, the efficiency and rating of their work is estimated at 7 points out of 10 possible.

Devices for Acute Dust Allergies

Electrostatic devices are not particularly effective in such a situation, since they capture only 90% of particles harmful and dangerous for allergy sufferers, and, nevertheless, some of them fly past the dust collector.

Purifiers with HEPA - filters are the most effective devices, which are a must in the homes of allergy sufferers. Such devices, according to polls 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 as much dust particles as possible in the room.

Washing devices work on the principle of treating all the air in the room, passing it through cleaning 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 device in the home to help you cope with tobacco or any other smoke.

Ozonizers in such a situation will help to decompose harmful smoke in the space of the room into completely safe carbon dioxide.

Washers are not as effective at controlling 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 premises from exhaust gases, burning, car emissions

Ozonizers will help break down or oxidize any odors, as well as small organic and chemical components.

The technique of the photocatalytic principle of operation helps to decompose harmful exhaust gases and fumes, even when there are people in the room (efficiently and silently). Photocatalytic air purifiers are rated 9 out of 10.

An air purifier with a charcoal filter works on the principle of adsorbing 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 a room, together with a photocatalysis reaction. Thanks to such devices, more than 95% of various bacteria, pathogens of viral diseases, microbes, etc. are excluded from the room.

Ozonizers-air purifiers are 2-3 times more effective than other devices. Cleaning and disinfection of the premises is done much faster and better.

Dry air in an apartment or house

Air purifiers / humidifiers use filters to purify the air. Humidifiers, as cleaning devices, are not particularly effective, their research rating is 6 points out of 10, since they pass more than 20% of dust.

Washing devices simultaneously clean the air and humidify it, soften it, thanks to this versatility, the rating of the devices is estimated at 8 out of 10 points.

Fatigue, sleepiness, insomnia may mean that the air in the room is “bad”.

Ozonizers, in addition to cleaning the space, have a beneficial effect on health and are natural immunostimulants.

The ionizer strengthens health, improves overall well-being.

It is worth remembering that not only the dust itself is dangerous for allergy sufferers, but also its organic components, such as fungi and mites, to remove them from the room means to make life easier for a person suffering from allergies. Specially designed photocatalytic air purifiers and special ozonizers, which are equipped with a special filter, which does not easily clean dust - it completely removes it from the room, will help to cope with this task. Photocatalytic cleaners disinfect the room space by their action, thanks to built-in UV lamps and special catalysts. In addition, such devices kill toxic chemical compounds and various harmful microorganisms inside a room or house.

Ozonizers and similar equipment exclude microorganisms and harmful substances from the apartment and house, due to the active influence of oxidizing qualities. Ozonizers can work properly even when there are no residents in the room.

Rating of the most popular manufacturers

Technical characteristics are of the greatest importance when choosing 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 firms with a reliable reputation and high ratings among consumers.

1. Ballu. All equipment produced by the Ballu trademark has 4 degrees of cleaning, of different types.
2. Timberk. The Timberk brand is a Swedish manufacturer of air cleaning equipment for large cities and metropolitan areas with high levels of exhaust fumes and dust.
3. JET. The company "JET" produces equipment for cleaning and humidifying air in offices and residential apartments, houses. Each device consists of several units, separately installed in each room.
4. Panasonic... The company produces stationary air cleaners of classical design, which make it possible to effectively clean the room, humidify it and ozonize the air.

Regardless of which type of device is chosen, the advantages of having an air purifier in the room are obvious.
