Air disinfectors and air purifiers are common household appliances, which are mainly used to improve indoor environmental quality. Although both products can improve indoor air quality, they are different in functions, working principles, application scenarios and product design.
1. Operating principle
The working principle of the air disinfector is to use ultraviolet, ozone or electrolysis to produce active substances with oxidation or sterilization to achieve the purpose of disinfection. Its main advantage is that it can effectively kill viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms in the air, thus reducing the risk of indoor infectious diseases. However, the air disinfector also has some disadvantages, such as odor and loud noise.
The working principle of the air purifier is to capture, decompose and adsorb the particles and pollutants in the air by means of filter screen, electronic static electricity, photocatalyst, etc., so as to achieve the effect of purifying the air. The main advantage of the air purifier is that it can remove a variety of pollutants, such as PM2.5, formaldehyde and other harmful substances, and reduce the odor in the air. However, the air purifier also has some disadvantages, such as poor filtering effect on large particles.
2. Application Scenario
Due to the above working principles and characteristics, air disinfectors are mainly used in high-risk places such as epidemic prevention and control, hospitals, nursing homes, kindergartens, etc., to kill harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the air.
The air purifier is more suitable for homes, offices, classrooms and other crowded places with many pollution sources, which can reduce chemical pollutants, particles and other harmful substances in the air.
3. Product design
In terms of product design, HEPA filter screen and composite filter screen are usually used for air purifiers, which are small in size, light in weight and easy to move.
Air disinfectors are usually larger than air disinfectors, which need to occupy a certain space, and most of them adopt the appearance of sheet metal. In addition, the air disinfection machine is also equipped with a variety of filter screens to achieve better disinfection effect.
4. Safety
Both air disinfectors and air purifiers are electrical products, and safety is a very important consideration. Some low-quality disinfectors and purifiers may have adverse effects on human body, such as radiation, fever and other problems. Therefore, you need to select the products produced by regular manufacturers and pay attention to the safety certification marks of the products.
To sum up, there are some differences between air disinfectors and air purifiers in terms of functions, working principles, application scenarios and product design, and each has advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, when choosing to purchase, we need to consider comprehensively according to the actual needs, and pay attention to selecting regular products, so as to better improve the indoor air quality.
