Air purifiers differ each from another in types and brands. Air cleaner types depend on the manner and method that is used in order to clean the air from various airborne pollutants. Various companies produce different brands of air cleaning devices. The cost and price of each air cleaner depends very much on the type, efficacy, size, coverage area and brand of the device. In addition, retail prices of the same air purifier may vary from dealer to dealer. |

Air purifiers are basically classified due to the method used to eliminate various sized particles and/or gases from the air. The types of techniques available for use in air purifiers include mechanical filters, electronic air cleaners, and hybrid filters for the elimination of particles, and gas phase filters to control odors. There are also air purifiers which produce ozone in order to remove various airborne pollutants. The selection of a type of an air filter depends on the intended use of the air purifier. There are wide applications of an air filter. Air filters are applied in order to protect the HVAC equipment and components, to protect the furnishings decor of inhabited spaces, to reduce housekeeping and building maintenance, to decrease heating equipment fire hazards, and protect the general well-being of residents. The low effective filters in central HVAC systems can be used in order to accomplish most of these requirements. However, to improve the health of residents higher efficiency filters are needed. |

Air purifiers mainly consist of an air filter and a fan or a motor. An air filter is used to clean the air from various airborne particles, such as mold, bacteria, viruses, dust, cigarette smoke, pollen and many others. It also helps to neutralize odors and gases in the indoor areas, whereas a fan or a motor makes the air flow into a filter, which can then capture dangerous pollutants and clean the air. Even more, a fan or a motor returns a cleaned, healthy air into the environment and hence is an important part of an air purifier. However, a loaded fan produces noise. The noise level is one of the characteristics that describe a certain air purifier. Generally, the noise level of an air cleaning device depends upon the type and size of an air purifier. In addition, the noise level depends also on the quality of an air purifier and an air filter. |
