The problem of air purification becomes more and more common every year, so the number of cars and harmful manufactures only increases. That is why began to appear cleansing devices, such as ionizers, photocatalytic cleaners , air washes, various types of filters, ozonizers.
In this article we will consider the device of an air ozonizer and what it is needed for.
Ozonator is an instrument that produces ozone and an anion from oxygen contained in atmospheric air. It is based on the natural mechanism of obtaining ozone during a thunderstorm after a lightning strike.
The principle of the air ozonator is to use the oxidizing ability of ozone, which, when interacting with chemicals and microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, fungi) is converted to simple oxygen, and harmful substances are oxidized and precipitate or go into a gaseous state. For this purpose, the cleaned air is drawn through the opening in the lower part of the apparatus and processed by a high-frequency discharge of electricity, resulting in a high concentration of ozone.
Depending on the type of premises for which the ozonator is designed, they are household (in residential premises) and industrial (in production).
Due to the principle of its operation, the ozonizer helps to clean the air in the house of harmful substances that have appeared from various sources.
Sources of air pollution in homes:
- materials from which the house itself and its interior are made;
- chemical substances flying in the air;
- cleaners;
- tobacco smoke;
- organic substances from domestic animals;
- mold , bacteria.
How to choose a household air ozonizer?
To avoid overpaying when buying an ozonator for home air, choose the model based on the following parameters:
- The area of the room where it will be used.
- Performance - at home, fairly average.
- Operating time without interruption - depending on the amount of pollutants.
- The presence of additional functions - a timer, several modes of operation.
How to use the ozonizer?
- Install the ozonizer either above the surface to be treated or on a horizontal hard surface in free space.
- Organize fresh air.
- Plug the cord into the power outlet and turn it on.
- Choose the mode and the operating time.
- Ventilate the room for 10-15 minutes.
The presence of people in the room where ozonation takes place is undesirable.
Very often people get lost, which is better to buy to clean the air at home: an ozonizer or an ionizer.
To determine what is best, you need to know how the ionizer and ozonizer works.
Ionizer - produces ions that precipitate dust and allergens on horizontal surfaces, and also dissipate smoke. This contributes to improving the general condition of the human body, strengthening immunity and improving mood. While the ozonizer - oxidizes and cleaves toxic harmful substances, as well as smoke on the safe components (air, water),
Therefore, it is necessary to make a choice between these two air-purifying devices, based on the goals set for you in cleaning air and buying opportunities (ozonizers are more expensive than ionizers).
By purchasing an ozonizer to clean the air home, you first of all take care of preserving the health of all members of your family, and do not harm the environment, since cleaning with ozone is the most environmentally friendly.
In addition to the ozonator for air purification, there are still available models of ozonizers for water and products.
