What? When? Why?

Introduction:

An air purifier system is a system that washes out or eliminates the contaminants which are available in the air so that the quality of the air will increase. These devices are mainly used by the peoples who are suffering from the allergy and asthmatics so that the quality of the air they will take will not harm them anyway. These devices are very demanding in India and all over the country due to the level of pollution is increasing day by day, mainly in the major cities.

The technology behind the Air purifier:

There are two types of air purifiers that are mainly used.

1. Active Air Purifiers - The Active air purifiers work as releasing the ozone as a by-product in the end, and at first, it uses the process of ionization for clearing the air from the dust and pollutants. Ionization means they discharge negatively charged ions in the ambient air, which allows contaminants to stick to the surface.
2. Passive Air Purifiers - On the other hand, Passive Air purifiers use air filters to remove the pollutants from the air. It is not using any chemical process for clearing the pollutants from the air but uses a filter to purify the air from the dust and contamination.

STAGES OF AIR FILTRATION SYSTEMS:

There are multi-stages of air filtration system:

• Pre-Filter - The pre-filter is the first stage of the air filtration system, in this stage, the PM 10 pollutants such as dust, smoke, hair, pet dander, abundant pollens, etc. get removed. It also helps in expanding the life of the secondary filter by not allow them to choke easily. Due to the difference in the pollution in every country, the United States & Europe are not using pre-filter, but India and China are excessively using pre-filters.
• HEPA Filters - The extension of HEPA is The High-Efficiency Particular Air Filter which removes that particles from the air which are not easily removed by pre-filters i.e., PM 25. It can purify the particles which are 0.3 microns in size. HEPA is to be known as the industry standard for air filtration products. With the help of HEPA filter up to 99.97% of pollutants from the air can be removed.
• Carbon Filters - These filters are used to remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gaseous substances and odours from the air which other filters cannot do. Some companies are using their patented filter instead of this filter are HiSiv filter used by Honeywell air purifiers.

Benefits of Air Purifier system:

• It helps in removing the dust and allergens that cannot be removed by the standard cleaning.
• With the help of Air Purifier, respiratory disease and airborne infections are not caused.
• It helps in removing the pollens that are caused by indoor and outdoor plants.
• It helps in improving the air circulations.
• It helps in eliminating the mold spore build up.
• It also eliminates the allergy-causing by pet hairs and their odors.
• It filters out larger airborne particles such as hair, fiber, clouds of dust, and debris.

Recent Development and Facts & Figures:

Recently, Amazon has developed a 3-in-1 Air purifier, and this purifier is the integration of filters and UVC (ultraviolet C) light which clear the air particles from the air which can cause allergies and Asthma to the people. In UVC technology with the help of titanium dioxide most of the airborne viruses such as influenza, staph, rhinovirus, as well as volatile organic compounds from the air. Today, most of the people are using HEPA technologies air purifiers, which will mostly contribute to the growth of this market, followed by activated charcoal & ozone-based purifiers. It is estimated that Australians spend around 90% of their time indoors. Indoor air pollution is ranked top 5 environmental risk to public health also it is assumed that indoor air quality is 2 to 5 x worse than outdoor air quality due to this 1 in 9 people in Australia is suffering from Asthma and 1 in 5 people is suffering from allergic rhinitis. So, Air purifiers are an essential part of their lives.

Some of the smart air purifiers are as follows:

Smart air purifier system some companies are continuously spending in their R&D department to come with the new and intelligent technologies that will change the life of the people.

Prominent Players & Leading Region:

Honeywell International Inc., 3M Company, Sharp Corporation, Daikin Industries, Ltd., Air Products & Chemicals, Inc., Clean TeQ Holdings Limited, Alfa Laval AB, SPX Corporation, Mann-Hummel GmbH, Clarcor Inc., are the major companies which are dealing with Air Purification Market. Asia-Pacific is the leading region of the Air Purification Market because of the growing set up of industries and usage of technologies. China, India, and South Korea are the major leading countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Conclusion:

Air Purification is the device that is generally used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications that can help in removing the air impurities or contaminants from the air and give pure air. It is a silent device and different from the air cleaner which makes noise when we increase the speed of the device, but air purification does not make any noise during its working and also requires less maintenance cost than air cleaner. With the help of HEPA filter up to 99.97% of pollutants from the air can be removed.
