- Air Purifiers
Many of us confuse ionic air cleaners with ozone generators, but there really is a lot of difference between them. Ionic air cleaners work on a principle similar to static electricity. They emit negative ions, which collide with the dust molecules in the air. The molecules become negatively charged and are drawn to the positive charged plates inside the machine. Most all surfaces like T.V, furniture are certainly charged and thus, dust particles agree on these surfaces also. This is the reason the area round the ionic air cleaner becomes dark. The ionic air cleaners contain electrostatic precipitators, which trap dust particles on the oppositely charged metal plates. Some ionic air cleaners employ a fan mechanism for this reason. They're very efficient because they do need replacement filters ; they're energy saving and silent.
