Home Air Purifiers

There are many different brands, types and technologies that are used in home air purifiers. Expert 1 suggests a air purifier for every residence where the source of indoor air pollution can not be eliminated, but which one is right for a certain home? Expert 1has also taken the time and energy to research the many types of home air cleaners that are on the market today. The organization collected many types of research documents and statistics on the different technologies and brands of air cleaners and sorted through them in order to rank the air cleaners on their efficiency and effectiveness. The Expert knows the importance of having an efficient air purifier inside a residence. The organization has also done a lot of research on how harmful the contaminants present in indoor air can be. There are many different factors that can be examined when purchasing an air cleaner.

One of the most important factors to look at when choosing a home air purifier is the amount of particulate cleaning it is able to achieve. There is a percentage of air pollutants that an air cleaner is able to eliminate form a certain volume of air. The amount of air that air purifiers are able to clean is another factor that can affect its efficiency. If an air purifier that is only able to clean a 500 square foot room is put inside a 1000 square foot room, some of the air purifier's efficiency may be lost. If there is some type of leak of contaminated outdoor air that is present inside a room, the efficiency of the air purifier will also be lost. Another factor that may be important when considering an air purifier for a residence is the re-circulation rate of the air purifier. Most of the air that the air purifier in the home will be cleaning is re-circulated air so it is important to know that the air purifier had a high re-circulation rate. Home air purifiers can also be compared with their efficiency. Although efficiency may be a hard statistic to measure, there are many ways to decide which air purifier is the most efficient. There are many statistics to take into account when measuring efficiency such as the size and shape of the particles being absorbed. A rate of greater than 50% efficiency and 80% reduction of particles in the air can be achieved by a home air purifier if the re-circulation rate for that unit is 5 to 6 room volumes per hour.

The efficiency of a home air purifier that uses HEPA technology to clean the indoor air is measured by the amount of particles it is able to absorb that are 0.03 microns and larger. Particles that are 0.03 microns in size are generally the most harmful particles that are easy for people to breathe in. This testing procedure and the ability to eliminate particles that are 0.03 microns and larger is called the dioctylphthExpertte test per Military Standard 282.

Another great way to understand the efficiency of air purifiers is by studying the Clean Air Delivery Rates, or CADR's of the unit. The CADR can tell the consumer how efficient the system is at removing pollen, smoke or dust from indoor air. The CADR gives the volume of air that is given off by the air cleaner that is free of a certain percentage of these toxins. The CADR seal that is present on the boxes of most air purifiers is regulated by the AHAM and is known to be accurate.

With the education and research of the Expert, consumers are equipped with the knowledge of what statistics to look at to know the efficiency of an air cleaner. Since efficiency is one of the most important factors to look at when purchasing air purifiers, it is good for consumers to know exactly how efficiency is found and what numbers to look at to calculate the efficiency. The Expert has been a helpful organization for consumers when they are on the market for an air purifier. Not only has the organization expressed the importance of a home air purifier, it has also made consumers aware of the importance of using efficient home air purifiers.
