To undertake the cleaning of the air ready a variety of devices, from small traditional cleaners to universal climate systems and air conditioners.
Some deal only with pollution, other optional wet or dried air, others are able to maintain optimal temperature in the room. The difference is not only in purpose but also as air handling, special modes and advanced functions.
Will be washed and dried
Popular dry cleaners that allow air flow through the filter system and differ mainly in their quantity and quality. Is this unit from 750 to 8000 UAH.
Universal cleaners that are effective against fine dust particles, dirt, germs, viruses and other harmful impurities, produce Electrolux, Daikin, Rowenta, Bork and others
Alternative to the previous appliances "air cleaning". The design is simple: inside rotating plastic discs moistened with water from the tray, the air is washed on their surface, and the dust settles.
Popular models Venta, Lopesa Air-O-Swiss, price from 1500 to 6000 UAH. Pros "sinks" - a combination of cleansing with moisturizing (although the level of humidity depends on the temperature in the house and not adjustable), the ability to delay the dust, tobacco smoke, hair, pollen and other contaminants, auto power off when lack of water and lack of cost filters.
On the other hand, it is necessary to periodically add and change the water, despite the presence of hygienic additives, and cleaning the device.
Multifunctional climatic complexes, for example AirComfort, Sharp, Lopesa Air-O-Swiss, combine the "dry" and "wet" cleaning air humidification and ionization. The complex is suitable for all environments, but will require maintenance and replacement filters every six months to a year. Cost - about 5000 UAH.
If you want to clear the air, but also to fill it with cool or warm, look for conditioners.
Noteworthy split-system units, consisting of outer and compact indoor units connected to each other. New Daewoo, Samsung, LG, Daikin, Panasonic, etc. at a price of 2500 UAH. equipped with multi-stage air filtration systems.
In addition to reliable filters provided round-the-clock operation in the automatic mode, the temperature control with an accuracy of one degree, adjust the fan speed and air flow direction, and other useful functions.
"Network" for dust
A good cleaner should have at least three basic filter, each of which solves its task.
Pre-filter retains large debris and pet hair, it also protects the inside of the instrument from contamination. Most of the new models as the main use fine filter, or HEPA filter, which is able to trap up to 99, 97 % of the smallest particles, including allergens and bacteria.
For the disinfection of air is photocatalytic filter (Daikin, AirComfort, and others), acting as the UV lamp: UV radiation any organic impurities - toxins, viruses, bacteria decompose into harmless components (water and carbon dioxide).
Not uncommon electrostatic filter (Boneco, Hyundai, Electrolux and others), which is a plate which is attracted dust. Unlike many other filters, it does not need to be replaced - it is sufficient to periodically rinse with water. And to eliminate odors, say, cigarette smoke or aerosols, use a replaceable carbon filter.
Functions and modes
When choosing a purifier pay also attention to the area of the premises for which it is designed, performance, ease of use and advanced features.
Most devices have a function of ionization, so the room becomes easier to breathe. And some models even and flavored the air, a few drops of essential oils to fill your room with a pleasant aroma.
If you plan to leave the unit on for the night, give preference to models that has a "night" mode: the device reduces the fan speed and becomes almost inaudible (one of the best indicators of the new Daikin - 17 dB(a)).
And when you need a couple of minutes to freshen up the room for the arrival of guests, you will need the turbo mode, in which the performance of the device is doubled.
Some novelties, such as Electrolux Oxygen, has a sensor smells: they automatically increase the fan speed, if the sensor detects air pollution.
Breathe deeply
There are other helpers in air purification. Themselves ionizers are able to do so that the dust falls faster on the surface. They are particularly well able to cope with unpleasant smells.
But we must remember that the conventional ionizer can be enabled only cleaned and well ventilated room. This device ionizes the gas molecules, and if he is attached to a molecule of oxygen, it turns out healing the ozone.
But if the room is filled with carbon dioxide, the ionizer can be even harmful. To breathe clean air, often do wet cleaning. Or remove with a vacuum cleaner, which, in addition to floor surfaces and furniture, capable of cleaning the air from dust and allergens.
