Advantages of Ceramic Infrared Heaters

categories: Technology

Ceramic infrared heaters are environmental heat producers. Portable ceramic infrared heaters are more capable devices for producing the heat at individual rooms or office rooms. Electric heaters use electricity as a medium, similarly ceramic infrared heaters also use ceramic as a medium for producing heat. Ceramic heaters consist of standardized ceramic elements which turn off the heating devices when they get overheated. Apart from the above said benefits, ceramic infrared heaters have a lot more uses. The below are some of the major advantages of ceramic infrared heaters.

  • Ceramic-infrared-heaters are the environmental friendly devices.
  • These are more durable heat producers.
  • These devices take less time for producing heat.
  • They do not produce flames, so they prevent the release of ash and carbon monoxide.
  • These devices require very less maintenance expenditures and are hence cost effective devices.
  • They are more safe to use.
  • They provide much better performance than other infrared heaters. They produce the heat at standard levels.

 

Portable ceramic heaters are more flexible to transfer to any place. These devices come with standardized capabilities to produce the heat.

Strategies for Improving Indoor Air Quality

categories: Technology

We usually think that air pollution only occurs in outdoor environment. But the air in our house and office could also be polluted. There are many sources for indoor pollution such as biological contaminants like mold and pollen, tobacco smoke, house hold products, pesticides and gases such as radon and carbon monoxide, etc.

Here under are some strategies for improving the indoor air quality. There are three basic strategies for improving, source control, improved ventilation and air cleaners.

Source control: Usually the most effective way to improve the indoor air quality is by eliminating the individual sources of pollutants or reduce the emission. For instance, gas stoves can be adjusted to control the emission. Source controlling is the most cost saving way to increase the indoor air quality than ventilation because increasing the ventilation increases the energy cost.

Improved ventilation: Another approach is to lower the concentration of indoor air pollutants in your home by increasing the amount of outdoor air coming inside. Most home heating and cooling systems, including forced air heating systems, do not mechanically bring fresh air into the house. Opening windows and doors, operating window or attic fans when the weather permits, or running a window air conditioner with the vent control open increases the outdoor ventilation rate.
Implementing the above steps is particularly important if you are involved in short term activities that can generate high level of pollutants, like painting, paint stripping, heating with kerosene etc. Advanced designs of new homes are making use of mechanical systems that bring outdoor air into the home. For example, energy-efficient heat recovery ventilators.

Air cleaners: There are many types of air cleaners available in the market. Some air cleaners are highly effective at particle removal, while others, including most table-top models, are comparatively less. Air cleaners are generally not designed to remove gaseous pollutants. The effectiveness of air cleaner depends on how well it collects the pollutants from the indoor and how much air is draws through the cleaning or the filtering elements.

Like this we can easily improve our indoor air quality and can control the dangerous pollutants from our indoor air.

Technological Changes in Air Purification

categories: Home, Technology

Air purifiers or air cleaners can improve the quality of air in your home or office by removing the dust, pollutants, mold and other irritants. Air cleaners range from portable to whole-house range. Many technological changes are occurring in the air purifier market. Every air purifier technology has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Hepa air purifiers: Hepa air filters are the most efficient type of air filter available. They are 99.97% effective at removing particles as small as 0.3 microns. It helps in

  • removal of dust, pollens, mold spores, dust mites and other allergens
  • removal of many bacteria
  • solid particles are captured and not released in to the air again

Air ionizers: It creates negative ions, which change the polarity of airborne particles, causing them to magnetically get attracted to each other. As a result, they become too large to remain in air, and fall out of the air that you breathe in. They perform

  • removal of particles from the air including ultra-fine particles as small as 0.01 microns
  • neutralization of bacteria, viruses, cigarette smoke and chemical fumes.
  • Can circulate throughout the room to remove airborne particles

Germicidal UV lamp: Ultraviolet (UV) lamps effectively destroy micro-organisms that pass by the bulb, including germs, viruses, bacteria, and fungi (such as mold). UV light radiation is recommended by the Centers of Disease Control to prevent illness and disease. They have the following functions:

  • Ability to destroy the micro-organisms, such as bacteria, virus, germs and fungi.
  • Helps to prevent illness and diseases

Activated Carbon Air Filter Strength: It consists of vast system of pores of molecule size. These process are highly adsorbent, forming strong chemical bond to odorous, gaseous, and liquid contaminants. The important features of this air purifier are:

  • The most absorbent filter available, making it highly effective it capturing chemical fumes, gases, cigarette smoke and odors.
  • Does not release captured contaminants back to the air

Ozone generator: Ozone is a highly reactive oxidant that destroys certain bacteria and chemicals, including odor-causing bacteria and chemical agents. Ozone is highly effective against strong odors, but is not always needed or wanted under normal circumstances

  • High effective against odors, including cigarette smoke odors
  • Helps to destroy certain chemical and bacteria

The above are the various types of air purifiers which work using different technologies.
