Filterless Air Purifier
Jason Uvios
As more and more people buy air purifiers for their homes, the
air purifier industry is always looking to innovate and bring
to the market new advanced purifiers that are effective as well
as user-friendly. The latest offering from the manufacturers of
air purifiers is the filterless air purifiers. Strange as it
may sound these purifiers actually work and yes, they come
without filters. Although it may sound too good to be true but
they are there for sure and are ready to take the market by
storm. So how exactly do these air purifiers work? Let us have
a closer look.
Filterless air purifiers work best against dust, mold spores,
pollen or pollen-like grains and other particulates that are
more or less of similar size. These air purifiers generally
come with sheet of activated carbon which actually absorbs
gases and odors. However, they are not effective against all
sorts of vapors and gases and should not be used by individuals
who suffer from Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. While it is god
for physical absorption it isn't made for chemical absorption
and shouldn't be used for the same purpose.
That filterless air purifier is different from other purifiers
in the way it works. Inside a filterless air purifier are two
plates which are electrically charged. The charge on one is
opposite to the charge carried by the other. The first plate
charges the particulates of the air as they pass through the
purifier. The second plate being oppositely charged, attracts
these particulates and lets the rest of the air to pass. This
is based on a very simple principle but it has been found to be
quite effective.
There are other advantages with this air purifier. There is not
much cost involved in maintaining this kind of a purifier. With
no money needed to be invested on filters, it is the initial
investment that you need to make. Also since there are very few
parts which actually move inside a filterless air purifier, the
wear and tear is also limited.
The one thing however that you need to take care of is to clean
the plates regularly. If this practice is continued then the
purifier will deliver at its optimum level over a longer period
of time. The cleaning is also hassle free and takes little time.
The user-friendly filterless purifiers should soon be a rage
with customers. However it isn't the most effective of all
purifiers available. So this should be treated as a basic
variant as far as cleaning goes.
