Air humidifier with ionizer

Natural comfortable conditions in the house - today it is, unfortunately, a rarity. The use of innovative building materials can significantly speed up the process of erecting buildings, make the interior attractive. But over time, only the other side of the application of all these innovations is manifested - insufficient humidity in the apartment or its excess. Everybody has heard about the humidifier for a million times, but how many of you know about the air humidifier with the ionizer? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such devices, the principle of their operation, and why they are generally needed, we will tell you in this article.

Humidifier - is needed, and ionizer - why?

Can not be confined to an ordinary humidifier, and not spend money on some kind of ionizer? It is possible, but it will always be possible to achieve the expected result. The thing is that humidity is not the only requirement when creating the right microclimate of your apartment.

Important! This is how the air of the sea coast differs, the forests from pines from the city, even if you miss the degree of pollution with all the exhaust gases? They differ in the number of negatively charged ions. In the first of cases, they are almost 1.5-3 times more than, for example, in a city park. In your apartment - everything is exactly the opposite.

The humidifier-ionizer maintains the necessary humidity, but also ionizes the air, which means that it saturates the entire airspace with negatively charged ions, which are called anions.

Important! Anions are also called electric vitamins, because these particles incredibly help the body to saturate our blood with oxygen, absorb almost all harmful impurities, as well as dust.

A moisture that is heated to 80 ° C, can eliminate viruses that are in your home. Thus, the ionizer will serve you as an additional cleaner.

Principle of operation

This device is considered an innovative development. It operates according to the following scheme:

1. The water that enters the vibrating plate breaks down into small particles and then heats up to approximately 80 ° C.
2. The air passes through the cloud with the help of a fan, is saturated with the necessary moisture and enters the room again.

Important! Another interesting point: air and liquid necessarily pass through a kind of purifier, in which there are all kinds of harmful microorganisms.

Ionizer principle in the

humidifier Did you pay attention to how comfortable and easy it is to breathe after the spring thunderstorm? The main factor of this phenomenon is that the air is saturated with elementary particles that are charged in the course of electrical atmospheric discharges of lightning.

The same is true for the standard ionizer-humidifier, which is produced by a number of manufacturers focused on the production of climate technology.

Depending on the purpose and principle of operation, ionizers are divided into several basic types. A huge role is played by the method of obtaining the same ionizing discharge.

Important! In everyday life, devices that simulate the creation of a lightning discharge are most often used. Such a corona discharge increases the saturation of air with charged particles, thereby making it possible to artificially recreate the very post-air composition of the air.

What type of air humidifier is best to choose?

To understand if a humidifier with an ionizer is really needed, compare it with other types of such devices.

Traditional air humidifier

The water poured into the unit gets on the disk or a special cassette, and after that, the fan sucks in air and directs it directly to a special heating element.

In this case, the principle of self-regulation works, that is, the high temperature in the room stimulates more intensive air humidification. For this device, it's best to choose a location near the battery.

Important! This kind of humidifier can work as a cleaner: air, passes through a special filter - there it is released from large dust elements.

Steam model

Liquid that enters the built-in electrodes, boils and gradually evaporates.

Important! This device is perfect for room aromatization, which by itself creates an inhalation effect. But in case you want to pick up an air purifier, a steam model that does not have an ionizer will not work for you.

ultrasonic air humidifier The ultraviolet lamp is specially installed inside the device. During the saturation with active oxygen, air it has time to neutralize it. Thus, you have the perfect opportunity, together with a humidifier, to pick up an additional air purifier. It will rid your room of all sorts of malignant viruses and bacteria with the help of ultrasound.

Climatic complex

A device that is both a humidifier, a cleaner, and a fragrance. Advanced development - the silver rod additionally saturates the enclosed space with silver ions, which can destroy a sufficiently large number of various microbes.

Important! As you can see, many humidifiers are able to purify the air, but:

• ultrasonic models and climate systems will be quite expensive;
• steam appliance - can not cope with the task;
• standard model - will not give such effective cleaning, as the humidifier-ionizer of air.

But there is one nuance - in each of these types of devices there can be an ionizer. Therefore, when choosing the topical issue remains the question of price preference, security, current needs( the area of ​​the room, the number of people living in the room, etc.).

Advantages of the air humidifier with the ionizer

What are the merits of this kind of service better than other types? If you want to choose this device, you will get three in one: a universal cleaner, a quality humidifier, and, importantly, a hypoallergenic flavor.

Now more about the advantages of this technique:

• Ionizer changes the microclimate of your apartment - it makes it similar in composition to natural, significantly improves air quality and gives it some healing properties.
• Improves the well-being of all people who are in the room.
• If we consider it as a purifier, the ionizer eliminates bacteria, viruses, and also mold.
• Eliminates your room from various unpleasant odors, can easily cope even with cigarette smoke.

There will be no shortcomings:

• During the operation of the device, dust particles become somewhat heavier. So be prepared for the fact that on the surface dust will settle faster and you will be forced to clean the room more often.
• The need for regular cleaning of the ionizer, especially needles.
• The device creates a small electromagnetic field that can affect the operation of electrical appliances. Therefore, it is better to choose for him a place as far from the TV or computer. In addition, the effect of this field on a person is not fully understood.
• Ionizer will sometimes need to be disconnected, because an overabundance of ozone is just as bad as its shortage.

What kind of humidifier-ionizer should I choose?

The most popular brands: Vitek, SmartWay, Air-o-Swiss, Walter Meier, Midea. Let's try to compare some of the models.

Model Vitek VT-1766 W:

• Type of humidification - ultrasonic.

Natural conditions in an apartment or house

The human body, like a motor of a car, is designed to work under certain conditions, as well as everything that surrounds it in a confined space. Pay attention to the following, comfortable humidity:

• Man - 40-70%.
• Home plants - 55-75%.
• Antiques and books - 40-60%.
• Home furniture - 40-60%.
• Electronics and household appliances - 45-60%.

Important! If the humidity is different, then aging, including man, will occur at an accelerated pace.

Danger of low air humidity

Non-observance of the required humidity level entails such consequences:

• the dust level rises;
• occurrence of various allergic reactions;
• has a negative effect on the skin;
• irritation of mucous membranes;
• has poor effects on the lungs.

Thanks to what has been said, it is perfectly clear for what purposes the humidifier must be in the house. And if it is also with an ionizer, it will be the best thing you can do for yourself to maintain health.

As a rule, the ionizer is combined with other types of climate technology. Acquire a separate ionizer - is inexpedient in terms of savings. For a small surcharge, you can buy a quality complex humidifier-ionizer-air purifier, which can provide a good atmosphere in a room of a variety of area and volume.
