Create a comfortable atmosphere in the house, save air from allergens and dust is not difficult - modern technology has given us such devices as humidifiers and air cleaners. These devices successfully cope with their task and become irreplaceable helpers. True, each of these devices has its own task. Let's see what device will be the best for you.
Difference in the purposes and principles of the
work We will deal with the difference of one device from another. In this issue, everything is simple:
Air purifier
Its main task is to clean air as efficiently as possible from harmful contaminants( smoke, pollen, dust, chemicals, moss and bacteria spores).You can not see and do not feel these contaminants in your room, and the air cleaner detects the smallest particles and eliminates them.
Humidifier
The task of this device is to humidify the air. Clean the room humidifier is not called. He can optimize the level of humidity on which the overall well-being of a person depends. The humidifier will help reduce sensitivity to allergens, facilitate breathing and create a comfortable atmosphere in the room and the house.
The main task of the devices is clear - one can clean the air, and the other - to moisten it. Devices differ and each other, they can be equipped with different filters( air purifiers) and have a different operating principle( humidifiers).When choosing your ideal model, pay attention to the internal differences. To make it easier for you to decide, let's look at the main advantages of each type of humidifier and cleaner.
Air purifier
| Air purification filters | Advantages of |
|---|---|
| Coal filters | Good dust trap Detects minute particles of air pollution Removes unpleasant odors |
| Ionizing filters | Easy to clean and wash Removes dust |
| Nera filters | Catch the smallest dust particles Remove allergens(wool, pollen) |
| Photocatalytic | Remove dust and allergens Remove the smallest particles of contaminants Distinguished by the durability of |
CThe most technological air cleaner will have a photocatalytic filter that will cope with impurities of 0.001 microns, that is, will purify the air of practically everything. Less "capable" models will be equipped with an ionizing or Nera-filter - they will be able to catch particles of more than 0.3 μm.
Humidifier
| Humidifier | Advantages of the |
|---|---|
| Traditional( due to simple evaporation of water) | Consumes a small amount of electricity Possibility to humidify the air is minimal |
| Ultrasonic | Quickly creates the optimum humidity level Keeps humidity in the room Silent |
| Steam( steam humidification) | Can serve as an inhaler Cancreate an increased level of humidity Quickly creates steam for humidification |
The most popular moisturizers are ultravioletkovye and steam. They can create a given level of humidity, and the steam model will also serve as an inhaler. True, such a device should be kept away from children and children's room, as there is a great risk of burning yourself. Traditional moisturizers are popular due to their low price and simple work.
Choosing between an air cleaner and a humidifier, be based on the tasks of each device. If your family has asthmatics and allergies, it is better to install an air purifier. The humidifier is good for creating an optimal atmosphere in the children's room, small rooms where the equipment and rooms constantly operate, which is poorly ventilated.
