Understanding How HEPA Air Purifiers Work

Posted by admin | Electrical Appliances | Monday 12 October 2009 9:13 pm

Air purifiers are devices that are able to protect you and your family from airborne pollutants. They lead the pack in advancements for cleaner air. HEPA air purifiers are one of the various types of air purifiers available in the market today. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and are made of charcoal. HEPA filters set the standard for air purifiers: to be classified as HEPA, a filter must capture a minimum of 99.97% of pollutants at 0.3 microns or larger.

The filter in this air-purifier is placed upwind of a high-velocity fan on the unit, which actually drives the contaminants into the filter attracting tobacco smoke, dust mites and other pollutants. Activated carbon filters remove gases, odors, and chemical toxins. The carbon is “activated” when it is treated with oxygen, which opens up millions of tiny pores to attract and adsorb chemicals. After the air is cleaned inside the purifier, the air is made to circulate in the entire home.

When buying HEPA air purifiers, it will be better to do some price comparisons through many of today’s top shopping sites. There are many online stores selling HEPA purificateur d’air as well as batterie electronique and equipement de golf online. Shopping around will help you find the absolute best deal on your new HEPA air purifier.

General Rules of Maintaining Electrical Appliances

Posted by Workshop Team | Electrical Appliances | Sunday 8 June 2008 8:35 am

Electrical appliances in your home are made to make your life easier. We all know that our appliances, no matter how much good care we take of them, may occasionally break down. One problem faced with broken appliances is in terms of finding replacement parts. But now you can do quick search on internet simply by typing your appliance’s brand, for example if you have Kenmore appliance, you can type “Kenmore Parts”.

But it’s better to maintain your appliancess before they get broken. To make them in good working order keep them clean and properly oiled. Some have sealed motors and never need oiling, but failure to oil the ones that need lubrication sends many a helpful gadget back to the manufacturer for repairs. Use the type of oil specified in your instruction booklet and the proper amount. Too much is often as bad as too little. If you have lost your instructions write for new ones or consult your local dealer.

These are general rules that apply to all electric equipment :

1. Never attempt to clean any electrical appliance without first disconnecting it.

2. Disconnect all cooking appliances promptly when their work is done so that food and grease won’t burn hard on the surface.

3. While some electrical appliances are now being advertised as “immersible” never put any electrical appliance into water to wash it, unless the manufacturer specifically states that this can be done.

You have to remember that motor-driven equipment including vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, mixers, and home freezers should never be stored in a place where the temperature goes lower than 40 F. Cold starting strains the motor and sometimes causes undue wear. If your appliance has been stored in a cold place, let it warm up at room temperature for several hours before you start the motor. This will give the oil or grease, used as a lubricant, a chance to warm so that it can do its work properly. So it is very much important to keep the electrical appliances clean and properly oiled.
