Bipolar air ionizer

Biophysicist Alexander Chizhevsky has proven that negatively charged particles have a positive effect on human health. The scientist created the first type of air purifiers, which were called Chizhevsky chandeliers. However, the device had a big drawback - it generated excessive amounts of ozone. As a result of long scientific research, an improved bipolar air ionizer was invented.

Principle of operation

Devices with table and wall mounting are available for sale. Air passes through the fan from the back of the device, the ionization stage begins inside the device, after which it exits through the front grille.

The main feature of the device is the primary production of ions with a + sign, and then particles with a minus charge. There are buttons for users to control the ion supply.

If there is a sufficient supply of charges, magnetization of objects does not occur. In nature, particles are located chaotically due to air movement, and indoors due to the regulation of the built-in fan. The device is safe for a healthy person, so you can stay indoors even when it’s turned on. While it is not advisable to do this with a unipolar apparatus.

After using the air purifier, the room must be wet cleaned to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from settling on furniture.

Device characteristics

The bipolar ionizer has 3 modes: night, medium and maximum. They differ from each other in the supply of ion concentration. The device can operate in continuous mode. The volume of the room should be up to 60 m3. The person must be at a distance of 60 cm from the device. Its weight does not exceed 2 kg, the power consumption does not exceed 5 W.

Instructions for use

The ionizer is easy to turn on, just press the button. Before use, you must read the instructions. A 15-minute regime is enough to clean the room. While the device is operating, do not open the window; do not use the device at a humidity of 80%. After each use, be sure to carry out wet cleaning.

It is worth remembering that in order for the ionizer to work effectively, you need to change the filters on time. Do not smoke or place objects on the external surface during operation.

Types of Air Purifiers

• Unipolar - the first ionizer model created to saturate the air with useful ions. But it magnetized objects, distributed air ions unevenly and exceeded the standards of the ozone layer.
• Bipolar - an air purifier that creates oxygen in the house due to the production of air ions with charges “+” and “-“.

Thanks to innovative developments, a new air purifier with a filtration function was created that could clean the air from fungi, dust, wool, and harmful organisms. There are 5 types of this representative:

• Electrostatic filter - a common type of ionizer, effective against air pollution from tobacco products and allergic substances. The filter is easy to clean under running water and can last for a long time.
• HEPA filter – used for cleaning from various pathogenic organisms and allergens. Operational life - up to a year.
• Photocatalytic is the most expensive ionizer with ultraviolet rays, which are involved in the breakdown of microorganisms into particles. If used properly, the filter can last up to 6 years.
• The carbon type of filter adsorbs odors and toxins in the room. Service life - from 3 months to a year.
• An ionizer with a mesh filter is designed to filter out large debris.

Advantages and disadvantages of the device

Like all devices, the ionizer has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include:

• Cleaning the room from settling particles, various odors, pollen, fungal spores, microorganisms, viruses.
• Blocks the influence of toxic substances in building materials.
• It has a positive effect on the human body: increases resistance to disease, improves metabolic processes, blood circulation, gas exchange in the lungs, relieves headaches, strengthens the immune system.

The disadvantages are:

• Formation of powerful electromagnetic rays.
• Excess ozone in the room.
• The need for frequent wet cleaning.
• Contraindicated for children under 3 years of age, with oncology, bronchial asthma, and fever.

Rules for caring for the ionizer

The ionizer is equipped with removable parts that are easy to clean. First, remove the front frame and clean the needles with cotton wool moistened with alcohol, followed by a stationery eraser. Clean the device once every 2 weeks, depending on contamination.The housing and fan are cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Air ionizers are gaining popularity, as well as household appliances. They help maintain the most important thing in a person’s life – health. Therefore, when choosing a device, be sure to take into account all the pros and cons.
