Air purifiers remove particles, gases, and chemicals from the air in a specific area. They are essential in facilities with airborne contaminants, such as textile factories and laboratories. Purifiers use filters, including HEPA filters, to remove contaminants and pump in fresh air. The size and complexity of the system depend on the space and type of contaminants. A qualified builder can recommend the appropriate equipment.
An air purifier is a device used to remove particles, gases or chemicals from the air within a certain area. While most air filtration systems of this type are designed to handle only one of these types of pollutants, there are some industrial air purifiers that will handle two and even all three contaminants. Most scrubbers are configured to complete at least six cycles of operation every hour, helping to keep the ambient air free of any type of contamination.
In any facility where airborne contaminants are common, using an air purifier is one of the best ways to protect employee health. For example, workers in a textile factory are constantly exposed to airborne particles that come from the fibers used to weave different types of materials. The correct air purifier will make particle control much more effective than simply providing face masks to employees and reduce the potential for the bronchial condition known as white lung.
Another application of the air purifier as an essential piece of workplace safety equipment is to remove gases from the air within a space. This can be especially useful in laboratories and other facilities where fumes are common. Effective fume control from the right scrubber significantly reduces exposure to gases that over time could have a detrimental impact on the health of those working in the area.
Like most air filtration systems, an air purifier uses purifying filters that help remove contaminants as the air within the space is circulated through the system. Several times each hour, the scrubber draws in contaminated air from the environment and simultaneously pumps in fresh air free of gases, chemicals or airborne particles. Many projects call for the inclusion of highly efficient particulate air filters, commonly known as HEPA filters. These filters are capable of capturing a significant amount of contaminants, making them more efficient than many other types of filters. Also, a good quality HEPA filter doesn’t have to be changed as often as other filters, a quality that many consumers find attractive.
The size and complexity of an air purification system will depend on the size of the space the unit will serve, as well as the range and type of contaminants that need to be removed from the area. Some air cleaning systems can be installed easily, while others may require some building modifications to ensure maximum efficiency. A qualified builder can evaluate the area where the air purifier will be installed and make recommendations on the size and type of equipment needed to keep the air clean on an ongoing basis.
