The autumn-winter period for most families marks the beginning of frequent periods. It is no secret that most viruses, microbes and bacteria are located in the air of home premises, on the surface of furniture and electrical appliances. Unfortunately, during epidemics, cut onions or garlic help little. An air purifier with an ionizer and a UV lamp will help stop the spread of infection, clean and improve the air.
How does an air ionizer-purifier with an ultraviolet lamp work?
Under the plastic body of the device there is an electrically conductive plate. Under the influence of negatively charged ions various particles in the air (bacteria, pollen, wool, dust, pollution, etc.) rush to the plate and stick to special dust collectors. As a result, dust collects not on the surfaces of equipment and furniture, but inside the air purifier with an ionizer for the home. The air becomes clean and fresh, there are no odors in it.
But that's not all. Home air purifier models with a built-in UV lamp distribute UV radiation throughout the room, which neutralizes pathogenic viruses and bacteria, which often cause diseases. When these microorganisms pass through the gaps of the dust collector, UV light destroys their DNA. Thanks to this, the air becomes sterilized.
How to choose an ionizer-purifier with a UV lamp?
The most important thing you need to pay attention to when choosing an air purifier-ionizer for an apartment or house is quiet operation. If the device buzzes, unpleasant sound will interfere with rest or work.
The second aspect of choice is the maximum area that the device can serve. It is usually indicated on the box or in the technical data sheet of the air purifier. The above figure largely depends on the power 
devices. The higher it is, the faster the room is serviced. And, accordingly, more electricity consumption.
It is better to choose a device with a built-in UV lamp from models in which the ionization and UV radiation modes can be turned on independently of each other.
Electronic control, display, backlight - such additional options are optional. It is clear that the price of air purifiers with these functions is higher than those without them.
Among the popular manufacturers of ionizer-cleaners with a UV lamp, the leaders are Zenet, Ovion-S, AIC, Super-Eco and Maxion.
A good air purifier is a useful purchase for a home where allergy sufferers, children, and the elderly live. It is very important to choose a device that will last for many years, be effective and comfortable to use.
Criteria for choosing a good air purifier
Maximum air exchange
It is known that when efficient work The device should pass the air in the room through itself 2-3 times in 1 hour. Therefore, calculate the volume of the room (in cubic meters) and multiply this number by three, and then compare the result with the parameters of different air purifiers.
Filters used
There are several types of filters: electrostatic, ozonating, photocatalytic, water, carbon, HEPA filters. Each has its pros and cons. High-quality models are characterized by the presence of several filters at once, i.e. multi-stage cleaning.
Ease of maintenance
There are 2 points to consider:
- the time you are willing to spend on caring for the device. If electrostatic filter requires washing no more than once a week, and photocatalytic - once every six months, then air washers need daily attention (changing and adding water);
- the presence of replaceable blocks in the design, the cost and frequency of their replacement.
Additional functions
These are indicators, displays, backlights, timers, aromatization, UV lamps, etc. The most important “bonus” feature that is worth paying for is the ability to control air humidification.
Air purifiers-humidifiers
Air washers
Washings simultaneously humidify and clean the air from dust and other contaminants. An important advantage of these devices is that you don’t need to buy them. Consumables. Air humidification and purification is carried out without the use of replaceable filters.
To clean, air is forced either through a system of water-moistened disks or through a fan-driven water curtain.
This is another advantage of air washers - the water evaporates naturally, and the humidity in the room cannot rise above a comfortable 60%. The disadvantages of these devices include noise and decent dimensions.
Climate complexes for air purification and humidification
Multifunction devices, combining three separate devices in a single housing: a full-fledged air purifier, a humidifier with traditional “cold” evaporation and an ionizer.
Advantages climatic complexes:
- Availability of an intelligent air quality and level monitoring system relative humidity, which allows you to use the device in automatic mode;
- High degree of air purification with or without humidification (unlike classic air washers).
Flaw:
- The need to periodically replace “dry” and (or) humidifying filters.
Ultraviolet air purifier - universal device, which allows you to get rid of dust, various allergens and most pathogenic microorganisms that can penetrate the apartment. Cleaning homely atmosphere Such equipment allows you to avoid many respiratory diseases and get rid of allergic attacks.
Criteria for choosing air purifiers with a UV lamp
Air purifier with ultraviolet lamp differs in the following characteristics:
- power;
- installation method;
- equipment.
Power
The performance of ultraviolet air purifiers depends on the area of the room and the dimensions of the device and technical characteristics apparatus. The product description indicates the volume of the room for which the air purifier is selected, but there are parameters by which you can calculate the performance of the device yourself. Yes, for mechanical type It is typical for air purifiers with a UV lamp, when operating in the most “powerful” mode, to pass through them a volume of air equal to the volume of the room in which it is installed three times per hour.
Installation
Before purchasing ultraviolet air purifiers, you should decide on the location for it. Modern devices can be:
- floor;
- desktop;
- hanging.
The use of an air purifier indoors depends on the intended purpose. For example, if you need to quickly get rid of cigarette smoke, it is better to choose a hanging model and place it closer to the ceiling. If we are talking about removing microparticles (allergens, bacteria), then tabletop model or the same hanging model, but located on the wall no higher than a third of the floor.
The air purifier is equipped with a UV lamp
Different types of ultraviolet air purifiers, if they have the necessary filters installed, can be equipped with additional qualities:
- wet wash;
- confection filtration;
- ionization;
Filters are necessary to retain all suspended particles, ultraviolet lamps are necessary to eliminate all pathogenic bacteria and viruses. Ionization is necessary to settle dust and improve health. Equipping the device with a water tank allows you to get rid of dry air.
Carefully! Among the range of air purifiers there are models with an atmospheric ozonizer. Do not confuse the pleasant air after rain on the street, enriched with ozone, with the same element, but in significant amount and in indoors. For breathing, the ozonizer is poison.
The Allergodom store helps you select and purchase an ultraviolet air purifier of any configuration according to affordable price. Breathe deeply!
In autumn and winter, many families are faced with frequent acute respiratory viral infections and acute respiratory infections. Everyone knows that a huge number of viruses, bacteria and microbes are in the air of home premises, as well as on furniture and electrical appliances. A cleaner with an ionizer and a UV lamp helps to clean it and make it healthier.
Operating principle and design features of an air purifier with UV and ionizer
The operation of this device is based on ultraviolet radiation. quartz lamp which destroys disease-causing microorganisms.
The device is housed in a plastic case, under which there is an electrically conductive plate. Bacteria, dust, and contaminants in the air are directed to the plate under the influence of negative ions and stick to special dust collectors. Thanks to this, all the dust is collected inside the cleaner, and does not accumulate on the surfaces of furniture and equipment. The air is purified, becomes fresh and has no odor.
Cleaner air masses, which has a built-in UV lamp, distributes ultraviolet radiation throughout the house. It can neutralize viruses and bacteria that cause colds, as well as fungi and mold. Ultraviolet light destroys the DNA of microorganisms as they pass through the dust collector. Therefore, the air in such a room is sterilized.
Advantages
Advantages of modern ultraviolet cleaners:
- Easy controls. The device is connected to electrical supply, set the timer and after that the air purification process begins.
- Inexpensive service. The filters in this device are not replaceable, so the device does not require expensive maintenance.
- Light weight and small size. The device does not consist of complex mechanisms.
- High-quality air purification from organic pollutants.
- Consumes little energy.

Safety Precautions When Using UV Ion Air Purifier
UV purifiers are considered non-hazardous for residential use, but safety precautions must still be followed.
- Do not remove the device casing while the UV lamp is operating to avoid burns to the skin and mucous membranes of the eyes.
- While the device is connected to the power supply, it is strictly prohibited to open or disassemble it.
- The device must be cleaned of dirt at least once a month.
- Do not place objects that are easily or quickly flammable near the air purifier because the lamp produces a lot of heat.
IMPORTANT! Buy ultraviolet air purifiers only with documents that confirm the safety of the device, and from trusted manufacturers whose brand is trustworthy.

How do UV purifiers work?
UV radiation of the UVC range in the band from 250 to 260 nm reaches the Earth from the Sun and has a beneficial effect on the entire life of terrestrial plants and living beings. But in increased doses it has a bactericidal effect on microorganisms, inhibiting or destroying their reproductive, i.e., reproductive functions. Colonies of microorganisms quickly die out after ultraviolet irradiation. These include bacteria, fungal and mold spores, viruses and even mites and some other micro-insects.
When air is irradiated with UV light, it is ionized, and diatomic ordinary oxygen molecules disintegrate into single ionized atoms, which have increased chemical activity. This allows them to combine in triplets and thereby form triatomic oxygen. It was called "ozone". This gas, in addition to being very toxic in large quantities, has strong oxidizing properties. In the air, even with a small presence of ozone, oxidative or destructive reactions begin. As a result, complex and long molecules of artificial chemicals are destroyed, breaking up into smaller and shorter chains. Long molecules are polymeric substances that for the most part do not contribute to living organisms, i.e. they are toxic (poisonous). At the same time, short molecules have significantly lower toxicity or relative safety.
“Ultraviolet” cleaning is inherently bactericidal. It is environmentally friendly, because chemical “poisonous substances” are not used to destroy microorganisms, and the additional properties that ozone gives it make this technology unique and exclusive.
In the air heating system, our company's engineers used UV cleaning devices based on a bactericidal ultraviolet lamp with a quartz glass bulb. It freely transmits ultraviolet radiation generated by electrical discharge in heavy metal vapors.
The device is mounted in special windows provided in the design of the return channels - air ducts. Through these channels, air is supplied through a filter system to the inlet channel of the air heater. When passing through a UV purifier, the air is disinfected and, enriched with ozone, is supplied through air ducts to heated rooms. The UV rays themselves do not enter the room from the lamp. When transported in a stream of hot air, in conditions high temperature, accelerated reactions of chemical and bacteriological neutralization occur - molecules of artificial chemicals decompose, microorganisms are suppressed and destroyed, and even the finest dust is deposited in the filters, which ordinary filters cannot retain. Heated, purified and disinfected air is supplied through a distribution network of air ducts to living rooms and/or production premises.
