õhupuhastusseadmes

Õhupuhastusseade is an Estonian term that translates to air purifier. An air purifier is a device that removes contaminants from the air in a room or space. These devices are commonly used in homes, offices, and other indoor environments to improve air quality.

The primary function of an air purifier is to filter out airborne particles such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and smoke. Many air purifiers also employ technologies to reduce or eliminate volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and even certain types of bacteria and viruses.

Different types of air purifiers utilize various filtration methods. The most common is the HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter, which is designed to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometers in diameter. Activated carbon filters are often used in conjunction with HEPA filters to absorb odors and gases. Other technologies include UV-C light, ionization, and electrostatic precipitation, though their effectiveness and potential byproducts can vary.

The effectiveness of an air purifier depends on several factors, including the size of the room, the type and concentration of pollutants, and the device's air cleaning rate (CADR). Regular maintenance, such as cleaning or replacing filters, is crucial for optimal performance. People use air purifiers to alleviate allergy symptoms, reduce exposure to secondhand smoke, and generally create a healthier indoor environment.
