Air filter vs. electrostatic adsorption, which air purifier is more reliable?

Air FilterVS electrostatic adsorption, what kind of air purifier is more reliable?

In this era of information explosion, consumers are often at a loss in the face of the reckless propaganda of merchants and the mixed products. The implementation of the new national standard for air purifiers marks the fact that China's air purifier market is becoming more standardized. The new standard can certainly play a standardized role in the industry, but as consumers, we should understand the specific content of the new standard, understand the parameters of the certification of authoritative bodies, we buy air purifiers in the natural peace of mind and rest assured.

There are many types of air purifiers on the market, including some portable, filtering, adsorption, complex, chemical catalytic, photocatalytic, electrostatic, plasma, composite, etc. But the two most common types are filtering and electrostatic adsorption. But the most common two categories, respectively, for the filter and electrostatic adsorption method; consumers in the selection of products, has been troubled in the end is to choose the filter purification method or electrostatic purification method?

Filter adsorption method

Most of the air cleaners on the market have already used a composite filter, which combines the activated carbon filter, antibacterial filter, and hepa filter into one super thick filter. It can do more dense, expand the area is larger. The denser filter can improve the chance of pollutant adhesion and improve purification efficiency. The larger unfolding area allows for higher air circulation, reduces wind resistance, and lowers the noise of the purifier when it is in operation. The improvement in these two aspects actually helps us a lot in our daily use.

Pros: air purifier with filter type filtration, obvious purification effect and fast purification speed. It can quickly purify the polluted indoor air.

Cons: Even the best air purifiers need to have their filters replaced after a long period of time. Most air purifiers should be replaced in two or three months, if not replaced, it will cause secondary pollution, the purified air is not as good as the air when not purified. So when users buy filter type purification, they need to pay attention to its after-sales service, the second cost of the filter, and so on.

Electrostatic adsorption method

Electrostatic precipitator (ESP/PLASMA) air purifiers use high-voltage DC electric field to ionize the gas molecules in the air, generating a large number of electrons and ions, dusty gas through the high-voltage electrostatic field is electrically separated, the dust particles and the negative ions combined with the negatively charged, after passing through the dust removal net when the positively charged metal plate adsorption, so as to achieve the effect of dust removal.

Pros: when running, the machine works very quietly. The filters are reusable and only need to be cleaned with water.

Disadvantages: The purification time is long and the purification effect is not obvious. In the process of working, it will produce ozone, which may cause some harm to human body.

In order to compare the filter adsorption as well as electrostatic adsorption air purifier comparison, we have found the filter adsorption Panasonic air purifier F-73C6VJD and the static adsorption Beyond X3 air purifier as representatives. They have similar CADR values for particulate matter, and their performance is compared through purification effect, noise and other tests respectively to provide users with a better choice.

In fact, both air purifiers have a role in particulate matter, but first to say that you if the area is in the haze is more serious area, filter air purifier is definitely the best choice. Although you need to regularly replace the filter, but its purification effect is more obvious; and choose electrostatic adsorption air purifier filter, the effect is relatively slow, suitable for not so serious indeed. And in the selection of electrostatic adsorption filter, to find some composite national standard air cleaner, to avoid the release of ozone concentration exceeds the standard, posing a hazard to the human body.
