The presence of a special device in the house allows you to breathe clean air. Violation of the microclimate in the room contributes to the penetration through the open window of hazardous particles. In order to get rid of their harmful effects, an air purifier-ionizer is used. This type of filter is very popular due to its ease of use and affordable cost. Air purifiers with a built-in ionization function include various filters, and can also be cleaned only due to this function. The process is carried out with the help of an electric charge.
The essence of the work
The operation of the air cleaner-ionizer is that high voltage is applied to metal needles with a tip diameter of 5-10 microns. It provides a runoff of electrons, with which oxygen molecules are connected, the latter acquire a negative charge. As a result, they turn into negatively charged ions. When they encounter pollution in the air,are attracted to them. As a result of these manipulations, the resulting particle becomes larger, and over time, under the influence of gravity, it settles. This effective cleaning method belongs to natural ones. Thus, the air is purified from:
- dust;
- smells;
- allergens;
- tobacco smoke;
- bacteria.
Benefits of using
An air purifier-ionizer for the home has many advantages. The positive effect of ionization on human he alth and well-being is noted. Often it is used to increase immunity and efficiency, to neutralize the negative impact on the body of working computers, televisions and other household appliances. This process is also used for:
- restoring the biological activity of the air entering the room through air conditioners, filters and other devices;
- fatigue reduction;
- creating a cozy atmosphere and a great mood;
- prevention and recovery of various diseases.
Types of appliances
Depending on the mechanism of action, these devices are divided into several types. One of them is called a hydroionizer. This device produces ozone, when it collides with water, hydroperoxide and a negatively charged oxygen molecule are formed.
The corona discharge ionizer produces strong discharges of electricity, as a result, a mass of free electrons is released into the environment. They combine with oxygen molecules to formnegative air ions.
The electro-fluvial air cleaner-ionizer, which is called the Chizhevsky chandelier, has sharp needles, it is on them that high voltage is applied. Free electrons flow from their tips, connecting with oxygen molecules and forming negatively charged air ions.
There is also an ionizer for radioactive and ultraviolet radiation, as well as thermal and plasma devices. Electrofluvial ionizers are the best for artificially saturating the air with negative air ions in residential premises. It's all about their safety, they do not emit harmful radioactive particles, hydroperoxide and the like. Corona ionizers can be used in businesses and at home, but care must be taken because these devices sometimes produce large amounts of ozone.
It is forbidden to use other types of devices in rooms where people are located, because in addition to useful air ions, they emit a lot of harmful substances.

Reviews about appliances
Users respond well to air purifiers with an ionization function. People like that these devices destroy various pathogens, purify the air in the room from unpleasant odors, wool, plant pollen and much more. When purchasing air ionizers, it must be borne in mind that in addition to the indisputable benefits, if used incorrectly, they can be harmful. It should be noted that during long-term operation, an electric charge is transferred to all particles in the room, which is why they are attracted to clothes, floors, walls, and furniture. These particles settle in the form of dust, especially around the device itself. It is often necessary to do wet cleaning, because breathing this dust is harmful. It is best to go to another room while the device is working.
It is also noted that with a very long operation of the ionizer, an increase in the concentration of ozone molecules in the air occurs, this can lead to deteriorationphysical condition. If there is a sick person in an ionized room, then there is a high probability that the infection will be transmitted to he althy people. Turning on the air purifier too often, for a long time, or using the air purifier in a dry environment will increase static electricity.
