Air sterilizer and air purifier many people will get confused about, but they are different, one is a disinfectant device, and one is a common household appliance, in principle, application scenarios, product design, management standards, etc. There are obvious differences, generally according to the actual needs and the degree of environmental pollution to decide which product to choose.
What is an air purifier?
Air purifiers the air particles, gaseous pollutants, micro-organisms, and other one or more pollutants that have a certain ability to remove household and similar use of electrical appliances.
What is an air sterilizer?
An air disinfector is a disinfection apparatus, that is used to kill microorganisms on the media to achieve the disinfection or sterilization requirements of the device or equipment, excluding indicators.
The difference between air sterilizer and air purifier
1. Principle difference
The working principle of an air sterilizer is to use ultraviolet light, ozone, or electrolysis to produce active substances with oxidative or bactericidal effects to achieve the purpose of disinfection. The working principle of air purifiers, on the other hand, is to capture, decompose, and adsorb airborne particles and pollutants using filters, electronic electrostatics, photocatalysts, etc., to achieve the effect of air purification.
2. Application Scenario Difference
Air sterilizer is mainly used in high-risk places such as epidemic prevention and control, hospitals, nursing homes, and kindergartens to kill germs, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms in the air. Air purifiers, on the other hand, are more suitable for homes, offices, classrooms, and other places with a high concentration of people and sources of pollution, and can reduce chemical pollutants, particles, and other harmful substances in the air.
3. Product Design Differences
In terms of product design, air purifiers usually use HEPA filters, and composite filters, which are smaller, lighter, and easier to move. Air sterilizer is usually larger than the air sterilizer, needs to take up a certain amount of space, and most of the sheet metal appearance. In addition, the air disinfector is equipped with a variety of filters to achieve better disinfection.
Which is better, an air sterilizer or an air purifier?
The main function of the air sterilizer is to disinfect and sterilize, which can quickly kill viruses, block the spread of viruses, and purify the air. Air purifiers, on the other hand, pay more attention to air cleaning, and can filter bacteria, formaldehyde, and other harmful substances. Which equipment to choose should be based on the actual demand and the degree of environmental pollution to decide.
Can air sterilizer and air purifier be used together?
Can, but not necessary.
Air disinfectors also called air purification disinfectors, both with disinfection, can also purify the air, the general use of air disinfectors is no longer necessary to use air purifiers. If you only want to filter particles and purify the air, you can use any one of these two. But if you want to ‘purify + sterilization’ superimposed effect, you can only use the air sterilizer.
