Content
Before going to the store, you need to understand the principle of operation of the device and its design features.
The main component of any recirculator is bactericidal lamps made of special UV glass, which can be up to 6 pieces. With the help of the inlet fan, air is drawn in and out from the back of the device through the outlet fan, already filtered. These lamps, which propagate ultraviolet rays, can kill bacteria either directly or by affecting their DNA structure, preventing them from multiplying. The most sensitive to ultraviolet light infections and viruses are vegetative. As a result of the operation of the irradiator-recirculator, it is possible to disinfect the air by 90% or even more, so that the remaining 10% of bacteria and less will not be able to cause significant harm.
You can buy the device in a home and medical equipment store, as well as order in an online store. Before buying, you should take into account the opinions of other buyers, carefully study the reviews about the model's work on the forums on the Internet. The more positive reviews there are, the better, this confirms the reliability and efficiency of the device. There you can also get tips and tricks from experienced users.
It should be remembered that it is not recommended to constantly process the premises; it is necessary to do this only at the time of outbreaks of the virus or off-season, otherwise this can lead to negative consequences. Viruses and bacteria of the disease can mutate due to constant exposure and become immune to disinfection, in addition, constant sterility leads to a weakening of immunity and the risk of catching the disease will become much greater.
In order to select the most high-quality and easy-to-use recirculator-irradiator, it is necessary to study the following characteristics of the device:
There are 3 main types of recirculators: wall-mounted, mobile and floor-standing. Each buyer himself determines which of the types suits him best, depending on the size of the room, the presence of children who may accidentally touch the device and the installation location. The mobile option is considered the most convenient, since it can be moved from room to room and alternately disinfected the air, and after use it can be cleaned in a safe place.
By weight, the devices are also very different, the largest of them have a length of 1 to 1.5 meters, the rest of the parameters depend on the number of lamps, but also not exceeding the standard of 150 mm. The mass of a small recirculator is from 1 to 1.5 kg, but large models are 10-12 kg.
According to the accepted rules, the body of the irradiator is made of metal or impact-resistant plastic.
The device should be easy to use and not raise questions about its management. So, all control buttons should be located on the body itself or on the remote control.
There are various types of recirculators on the market, the simplest of them have only a power button, and more advanced models have timers and additional operating modes that simplify the control process and coordinate the operation of the apparatus as a whole.
The operating time of the lamps is a very important characteristic, as it affects the operating time of the unit as a whole. On average, the service life of a UV lamp is about 8 thousand hours, while amalgam lamps last almost twice as long - up to 14,000 hours. With daily use of the device, this amount will be enough for 2, 5 years. Such an intensity of work is not necessary for home conditions, therefore, replacement occurs after about 5 years. In some models, a special counter is built in, which shows the hours already worked, which allows you to replace the lamps in a timely manner.
Standard recirculators contain from 1 to 6 UV lamps. For the home, models with 1 or 3 lamps are usually purchased, since this is quite enough for a small room.
