Negative ion purifiers and ozone purifiers
Next, we will continue to introduce negative ion air purifiers and ozone air purifiers
Negative ion purifier
working principle:
Negative ion purifiers clean the air by generating a large amount of negative ions (molecules with negative charges). These negative ions will combine with pollutants in the air, such as dust, pollen, smoke particles, etc., causing these particles to become heavier and settle to the ground, thus no longer suspended in the air.
advantage:
Usually quieter and with lower maintenance costs.
It can effectively remove small particles from the air.
It may be possible to remove certain allergen triggers.
Disadvantages:
Limited purification capacity, usually used as a supplement to HEPA filters or electrostatic filters.
Some models may produce trace amounts of ozone, and high ozone concentrations harm human health.
Ozone purifier
working principle:
Ozone purifiers use high-voltage current to convert oxygen (O ₂) into ozone (O3), a gas with strong oxidizing properties. Ozone can decompose organic compounds in the air and react chemically with other pollutants, converting them into harmless substances or forms that are easier to clean.
advantage:
Under appropriate usage conditions, it can effectively remove smoke, mold, and other odors from the air.
Can kill bacteria and viruses in the air.
Disadvantages:
Could not remove particle pollutants.
If the concentration of ozone produced is too high, it can cause irritation to the human respiratory system and even trigger diseases such as asthma.
Long term use may cause damage to the surface of furniture.
When using, it is necessary to ensure that the room is unoccupied, as even low concentrations of ozone may be harmful to human health.
It is generally not recommended for use in home environments and is more suitable for disinfection and purification in industrial or special environments.
In summary, individual negative ion purifiers are suitable for households that do not require high purification performance and require very quiet conditions. In more cases, negative ion generators are integrated into HEPA air purifiers or electrostatic air purifiers, while ozone purifiers are more suitable for professional environments that do not require long-term personnel stay, such as industrial production areas or specific commercial spaces. When choosing an air purifier, please be sure to consider your specific needs and usage environment.
