Bipolar ionizer will make the air clean and healthy.

Innovative device - ionizer - not only cleans the air, but also saturates it with oxygen molecules. One of the latest models is a bipolar air ionizer. It is about this device and will be discussed.

Air Purifier Types

According to the polarity of the produced ions, the following types of ionizers are distinguished:

1. Unipolar. This type of ionizer was developed first. The device in the process of functioning saturates the air with useful negative air ions (oxygen molecules).The negative sides of the unipolar ionizer, such as the uneven distribution of air ions, the magnetization of objects, as well as the excess of ozone molecules, led to the invention of the following model of air ionizer.
2. Bipolar. A device of this type, due to its configuration and a special algorithm of action, gives rise to positive and negative air ions. Through the use of a biopolar ionizer, the air in the room becomes close to oxygen in the natural environment.

The design and principle of operation of a bipolar ionizer

Devices are both desktop and wall. The air is drawn in through the fan through the rear grill, ionized in the middle of the device and blown out through the grill in front.

The bipolar air ionizer works due to a corona charge. The latter occurs when high voltage is applied to the needle electrodes located in the middle of the device.

The device produces first positively charged ions, and then negatively charged, acting alternately. Ion concentration can be set by myself. Batch supply of ions avoids magnetization of objects.Thus, in the room there are clouds with signs "+" and "-". Under natural conditions, such particles are mixed due to the movement of air, which is not in a closed room. This role is partially fulfilled by the fan built into the device. For complete mixing of clouds with different charges, you need a high power fan, which is not in these devices.

Controlled device one button. Pressing it again turns the device on and off, and also switches modes, as evidenced by the color of the flashing indicator. The device also has a regulator of unipolarity.

Bipolar ionizers will fully cope with their functions with a minimum amount of office equipment in the room, and even better - with its complete absence.

Unlike the use of a unipolar ionizer, the use of a bipolar provides for human presence in the room. Such a device will not harm a person even during his sleep. You rest, and the device works, providing you with fresh air.

Please note that after completing the work of the air purifier, in no more than 2 hours, the room needs do wet cleaning. It is necessary to get rid of pathogenic microbes that settle on the furniture in the process of the device.

Bipolar air cleaner with filtering function

In order to clean the air from dust, harmful microorganisms, spores of fungi and wool, the use of five types of filters was provided:

1. Electrostatic - differs in long service life. The lattice of this filter has a positive charge, but its element is negative. The latter attracts to itself all the pollution that passes through the grid, where they acquire a charge with a “+” sign. Most effectively copes with air purification from tobacco smoke. This type of filter is very easy to clean - with ordinary water.
2. HEPA filter - the term of operation is 1 year. It copes with the purification of air from various types of allergens, such as wool, pollen.
3. Photocatalytic - The most expensive filter. Purification occurs due to ultraviolet radiation, under the influence of which all harmful microorganisms disintegrate into safe particles. Such a filter will last you up to 6 years.
4. Carbonic - additional filter,which eliminates all sorts of toxins and the unpleasant smell in the room. Service life ranges from 3 months to a year.
5. Reticulatewhich acts as an additional filter. Prevents large particles from entering the ionizer. Such a filter does not clear the air of toxins.

Specifications

1. The ionizer works in three modes: maximum, average, night. The difference of modes is in the concentration of ions, which are produced during operation of the device.
2. The device can be installed in a room up to 60 cubic meters.
3. Provides continuous operation of the device.
4. During the operation of the device, a person can be no less than 60 centimeters from him.
5. The power consumed by the ionizer does not exceed 5 W, and its mass is not more than 2 kilograms.

Peculiarities of care

For the convenience of cleaning the device, its front frame is made removable. It is recommended, on average, to clean needles from dust and other precipitates from the air. once every two weeks. It all depends on the degree of air pollution in the room. For more effective cleaning of the needles from various kinds of dirt, we first clean them with cotton wool moistened with alcohol, and then with a clerical eraser.

Need to care not only for the needles, but also for the housing and the fan. A vacuum cleaner is used to clean them.

You can start cleaning the device only after it is disconnected from the network!

How to choose

When buying a biopolar ionizer, you need to pay attention to the following nuances:

1. First of all, you need to take into account room volumein which you are going to enrich the air with aero ions.
2. Stop your choice better on an active system with a built-in fan, and not on a passive.
3. The device must produce ions in the following limits: 1500-3000 units of positive ions and 3000-5000 units of negative per 1 cm³.
4. Polarity should be from minus 0.5 to 0.
5. The ozone concentration should not exceed 0.16 mg per 1 cubic meter of room.
6. Availability of quality certificate.

Homemade air ionizer

According to many experts, the air ionizer should be in every room. For this, it is not necessary to buy this device. If your hands grow from the right place, then you can easily assemble the air cleaner yourself.

Necessary materials:

• 2 plastic containers, you can use eggs from "Kinder Surprise".
• Wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm with a plug at the end.
• Scissors.
• Needle.
• Material for insulation.

Using a needle, make a hole in each container equal to the diameter of the wire. Thread the conductor with a positive charge in one container, and with a negative charge - in another. After which the veins should be insulated and connected. Fasten the wire to the plug. Connect the finished structure to the mains.

Do-it-yourself air ionizer from two plastic containers

In the event that you do not have the necessary materials, and you want to save money, pay attention to the air ionizer disassembled. It is only necessary to combine all the available parts, clearly following the instructions. It remains to recall childhood and play the designer!

Ionizer for car

The assembly process of the automotive ionizer is more time consuming and complicated. To do this, you need a power supply that can be evaporated from the old system unit.The old winding is not good, you need to get rid of it. First, wind the primary, equal to 14 revolutions. Over it we wind three layers of isolation. This is followed by a secondary winding consisting of 600 turns. Every 100 turns we make three layers of insulation.

Next you need to connect transformer timer. After that, they are connected to a voltage multiplier assembled from capacitors and diodes KS106. Then you need to push the wiring on the voltage multiplier up to 3 cm apart. The device is connected to the network. About the correctness of the assembly of the ionizer, judge by the appearance of the smell of ozone.

Making homemade air ionizer will save money. But before proceeding with the assembly of the device at home, weigh the pros and cons. After all, safety is paramount.
