To refresh the air in the room and create an atmosphere of freshness, today you can use modern devices - extractor or air cleaner. The hood is a familiar appliance for many housewives in the kitchen. But the air purifier is just gaining its popularity. What is the difference between the hood that you know from the air cleaner?
Differences in operating principles
Extract
This device is installed to clean smoke and polluted air in the kitchen. It can work in two modes: exhaust - the air is removed from the kitchen through a ventilation system or openings in the wall, and recirculation - when the air is purified through special filters( coal and grease).
Air cleaner
This device purifies the air by "passing" it through filters( same recirculation mode).There are several types of filters( maybe a model with a Nera-filter, a carbon filter or a photocatalytic filter).
As you can see, both devices remove polluted air from the room, they can cope with smoke and caustic odors. What else is the air cleaner different from the hood?
These are the main features of the devices, from which it is clear that the hood will be useful as an effective air purifier in the kitchen, but it will not be able to transfer it to the room. The air cleaner can be put in any convenient place of the room and choose the model with the most technological filter. Also, the air cleaner can have a number of additional features, for example, to humidify the air, and the extractor can only remove contaminants from the room. |
