All About Air Purifiers

Categories: Air Purifiers by

Welcome! This Site is all about the quality of the air you breathe. As the world has changed throughout our recent history, so has the air that we breathe. The industrial revolution of the last century brought with it, not only the conveniences of automation and time saving technologies, but also the ramifications of those processes.

The ability to rapidly produce automobiles, tractors, farming implements, and more recently, silicon computer chips requires assembly lines, and the underlying power to keep them moving day and night. The production of power is where we introduce toxins to our atmosphere. These toxins are in the atmosphere at large, but also find their way into our homes. Scientific research has concluded that the air we breathe within our homes is far more detrimental to our health than the air outside. That is particularly alarming when one considers that we spend an extraordinary amount of times indoors each day. The pollutants range from VOC’s, to dust mites, pet dander, chlorine, ammonia, and many more types of particles.

Many air purifier systems are built on the concept of ionization. When the air we breathe is ionized, a free electron is introduced to the atmosphere. The free electron “looks” for a positive electron to attach to. When the two electrons (negative and positive) finally join together, the resulting particle becomes heavier than air and eventually drops, thus purifying the air.

The ionization process is often accomplished by way of producing ozone. Ozone is nothing more than adding a free electron to oxygen. Have you ever noticed that the air seems “fresher” after a lightning storm? Well, that is because when lightning strikes, the air is ionized and ozone is produced. This newly ionized air looks for airborne particles to attach to. When they join together, they fall to the earth and the result is cleaner, fresher air to breathe. Amazing how nature takes care of things isn’t it?

There are other ways of purifying inside air. Carbon filters, water purification, electrostatic cleaning, and simple filters that remove larger airborne particles much the way a dust mask works.

Whatever the process, this site is intended to educate and point you in the right direction for further information or to purchase a filtration system of your choosing. Please enjoy the articles, and stop back by from time to time as we expand our content about air purifiers and related topics. We want our web presence to increase, so please tell your friends.

Things to consider about the mister fan

Categories: Air Purifiers by

Mister fans are often used outdoors. These fans work to cool an area and provide a high degree of humidity. It is used in various places ranging from homes to football fields and stadiums to greenhouses and other places like produce stores. A misting system will provide mini droplets of water which will in turn cool the air via evaporation. The droplets of water absorb heat from the air and scatter it. It is just like any ordinary fan except for a water storage portion at the base of the fan.
This is how a mister fan exactly works. Take for example an ordinary fan. If a wet towel is put directly above it, notice how the edges of the towel dry first. This is due to evaporation. As the towel dries, the region around it would seem to be cooler. The fan, with its oscillating mechanism, is then able to circulate the cooler air from the drying towel. The fan somehow works as a rudimentary air conditioner. This is what is called evaporative cooling. Misting systems make use of this idea.
The biggest benefit that a misting system can give is its immediate effect in alleviating temperature. Adding mists to the environment will significantly allow temperature drop of about 35 degrees. Another pro of a misting system is its cost effectiveness compared to air conditioners and other air purifiers. Moreover, it is more eco friendly compared to other cooling systems as it saves more the 80% energy. The fans are very easy to install and is inexpensive compared to other cooling system.
When considering installing a misting system, take into consideration the size of the area that is to be cooled. This type of fan comes in varied sizes and styles. The water storage portion also varies. There are those with large enough water storage for longer use and lesser refilling needs. However, if the mister fan would be moved about frequently, it is better to have smaller water storage. This is because the bigger the water storage is, the heavier the fan would be. In that case it will not be too portable as you would like it to be.  Misting systems are often installed in large areas like in football fields or stadiums. However, this technology is now being utilized at home. This is often installed in patios, deck, pool area or other outdoor living areas. This will make the mentioned area more comfortable for the inhabitants.
