Ionic
Air
Purifiers
The air we breathe indoors can be more
polluted and stale than the air we breathe outdoors and by
simply plugging in the Ionic Air Purifier you can remove bad
air and enjoy the benefits of clean air instantly. Airborne
particles such as smoke, dust, pollen and pet odours all
circulate within the home and can aggravate allergies and
illnesses. The Ionic Air Purifiers works by trapping the
airborne particles on the removable filter using electrostatic
cleaning technology.
Except for a few models that use fans to
help suck in the charged particles, most ionic air purifiers
work silently. And, as ads are quick to point out, the devices
generally don't have any motors or moving parts, and there are
no filters to replace. Dust from the air will be attracted to
the floor carpet/wood and still will need to be vacuumed or
dusted. Only fan/filter-type air purifiers collect dust inside
the filter so you have to replace it. Remember, this technology
makes your air inside the room dust free, not claims to collect
all the dust inside the unit.
If you have ever stared at a sunbeam
coming through your window and have seen the particles that are
freely floating in the air, you should have all the information
that you need to know about why these devices are so important
to have in our homes. For those that are in high rise
apartments or work in high rise buildings, these issues are
even more prevalent and an ionizer will address
them.
If there is a collection plate inside
your ionic air purifier, you must wipe down the air purifier's
plate regularly. Remember that these plates need to be cleaned
regularly in order for the air purifier to be
effective.
The plain and simple truth is that Ionic
Air Purifiers clean up the air that is around us and make it
safer for use to breathe in. Pollutants are not only harmful to
you when you breathe them in, but they also cause stress to
your bodily systems that can easily be avoided by eliminating
them. Investing in an ionic purifier would eventually save you
money in the long run.
How Ionic Air Purifiers
Works:
Particles in the air carry a positive charge. An ionic air
purifier fitted near the ceiling of a room emits a steady
stream of negatively charged ions. This attracts the positively
charged particles of dust and allergens and they form clumps
with the negative ion stream and fall to the ground because of
their combined weight. The ambient air becomes free of the germ
carrying particles and the clumps on the floor can be swept
away and cleaned in conventional manner. This kind of purifier
also serves to refresh a room by removing stale air that tends
to be malodorous. The capacity of an ionic air purifier is
measured in the number of air changes per hour that is the time
taken for a unit to provide clean air in a given space. It may
be necessary to have more than one ionic air purifier in series
in a large room or one frequented by relatively high
traffic.
