Exploring Types Of Air Purifiers

Silverstate Refrigeration & HVAC

With the ever increasing air pollution, air purifiers have become “must” for any HVAC system to get purified conditioned air that is free of any pollutants and allergens. In Henderson city market, you will find numerous kinds and types of air purifiers and hence it can become a quite confusing scenario while choosing one.

Let us explore these different types of air purifiers to get better idea…

High Efficiency Particle Arresting (HEPA) Air Purifiers

• Made up of numerous small glass fibers for filtration of air, HEPA air purifiers are one of the most efficient types of air purifiers.

• With a removal efficiency of 99.97%, these air purifiers are capable of filtering microorganisms, bacteria and viruses besides large particles.

• Care should be taken to ensure that no air bypasses the filter.

• You need to change the filters periodically to maintain their efficiency.

Electrostatic Air Purifiers

• They are based on the mechanism of creating electronic field to attract charged particles.

• They contain electrostatic filters which create electrostatic charge.

• They are capable to filter out pollens, small dust particles, mold spores, animal dead skin, paint fumes, flooring adhesive fumes.

• No need to change the filter but you should clean them periodically.

Carbon Air Purifiers

• The greatly permeable and porous material present in their carbon filters reacts with small particles in the air by absorbing them.

• Along with the particles, they also remove the odors from the air.

• The disadvantage is that they are less durable and you need to change the filters frequently.

• Also, these air purifiers are incapable of removing larger particles.

Ion Generator Air Purifiers

• With a comparatively similar mechanism that of electrostatic air purifiers, they create negatively charged ions.

• These negatively charged ions get attached to the particles present in air, which in turn are attracted to the electrically charged surfaces.

• One of the disadvantages of this air purifier is that it works only in localized areas.

Ozone Generator Air Purifiers

• They produce ozone, a strongly oxidant that oxidizes many chemicals coming in its way.

• As the particles are changed chemically, these purifiers are used in numerous commercial applications.
