How do air purifiers detect air quality?

heading_title

Air purifiers are electrical devices that can purify indoor air, mainly used to remove indoor dust, bacteria, viruses, odor, and other pollutants to improve indoor air quality. According to different purification technologies and working principles, air purifiers can be divided into various types, including negative ion purifiers, ozone purifiers, high voltage electrostatic purifiers, plasma purifiers, and so on. This article mainly introduces How do air purifiers detect air quality.

How do air purifiers detect air quality

Air purifiers detect air quality mainly through the following ways:

1. Sensor detection. Air purifiers are equipped with a variety of sensors, such as PM2.5 sensors, VOC sensors, CO2 sensors, etc., through the detection of airborne particulate matter, volatile organic compounds carbon dioxide, and other indicators to assess air quality.

2. Filter status detection. Assess the air quality by detecting the status of the filter. When there are more pollutants in the air, the filter will be contaminated more quickly, at which time the air purifier will issue a warning and prompt to replace the filter.

3. Air Quality Index (AQI) detection. Some air purifiers can obtain local AQI data by connecting to the Internet and automatically adjusting the working mode of the purifier according to the AQI data to provide better air purification.

4. Electrical safety testing. Including testing of electrical safety regulations and electromagnetic compatibility.

5. Air purification effect testing. Detection of particulate matter, formaldehyde, toluene, benzene, ammonia, TVOC, and other indicators.

6. Cumulative purification testing. Detection of particles, formaldehyde, and other indicators.

7. Power detection. Detection of purification energy efficiency and other indicators.

8. Noise detection. Detection of sound power level and other indicators.

9. Bacteria removal performance testing. Detection of white staphylococcus, staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and another sterilization rate.

10. Harmful substances release detection. Detection of ozone, TVOC, PM10, UV, and other indicators.

11. Removal rate test. Detection of formaldehyde removal rate, toluene, benzene, TVOC, particulate matter, PM2.5, CO2, NO2, SO2, and other indicators.

12. Negative ion concentration detection. Detect negative ions and other indicators.

13. Deodorization performance testing. Detect sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, and other indicators.

The above methods work together to make the air purifier can effectively detect and improve indoor air quality.
