What is an air purifier? What are air purifiers used for?

With the current state of air pollution, especially in large cities, air purifiers have been chosen by many families for their ability to filter out dust and pollutants in the room, helping to provide a fresh and airy living space. So what is an air purifier and what are the functions of an air purifier? Let's check out the article below!

1. What is an air purifier?

An air purifier is an electrical device consisting of 2 main parts: a fan motor part that helps suck dirty air through filters and returns clean air to the outside after being filtered; and a filter system consisting of many types of filter cores.

Typically, a filter system will have 3 main types of filter cores: a pre-filter that helps retain large dust particles, pet hair, and this filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner; a main filter (most commonly a HEPA filter) that helps retain dust, especially fine dust that is harmful to health; the 3rd filter is an activated carbon filter that helps deodorize, remove allergens, odors, and effectively fight bacteria.

2. What are the benefits of an air purifier?

PURIFYING THE AIR

The main function of an air purifier is to filter and remove dirt in the air along with pollen, pet hair, etc., which are allergens floating in the air. In particular, current air purifiers have the ability to filter ultrafine dust that is invisible to the naked eye but has long-term negative effects on health, such as PM1.0 and PM2.5 dust, thanks to advanced HEPA filter systems. Notably, the HEPA H13 filter applied in Acerpure air purifiers allows for the filtration of up to 99.97% of ultrafine PM1.0 and PM2.5 dust in the air.

ELIMINATING CIGARETTE SMOKE AND ODORS

In addition to the main ability to filter air pollutants, air purifiers can also filter cigarette smoke, unpleasant odors from food, grease odors, and harmful gases like formaldehyde, etc., thanks to being equipped with multiple filter layers, among which the activated carbon filter plays a major role in trapping and removing these odors.

REMOVING VIRUSES AND BACTERIA WITH EXCLUSIVE HEPA+ FILTERS

Acerpure Cool C2-UVC (AC553-50W) and Acerpure Pro P2 (AP551-50W) air purifiers are equipped with an exclusive 4-in-1+ HEPA filter, in which the HEPA+ core is certified to remove over 99% of viruses and bacteria, especially Coronavirus-229E and influenza aH1N1 virus, from living spaces.

NEGATIVE ION TECHNOLOGY, KILLING BACTERIA

Acerpure air purifier lines such as Acerpure Cool C2-UVC and Acerpure Pro P2 are equipped with negative ion technology that helps kill 99.9% of viruses in the air. This feature creates negatively charged ions which are dispersed through the clean airflow of the air purifier. These ions attach to floating dust particles, increasing their weight and causing them to fall to the ground. For viruses and bacteria, the negative ions act on the external protein structure of the bacteria, disrupting the molecular structure to neutralize their harmful capabilities while preventing the reproduction of bacteria and viruses in the space.

REMOVING MOLD AND ALLERGENS

Thanks to the HEPA filter, Acerpure air purifiers can remove mold and pollen from the air. These are allergens that the naked eye cannot see but can cause symptoms such as persistent coughing, stuffy nose, runny nose, and red, itchy eyes.
