Neoclima humidifiers - a must in every apartment

If you are asked about climate technology, you are right... You will immediately think about an air conditioner and a heater, since it is customary to evaluate a comfortable microclimate in an apartment or house by temperature. And in a way it is, but it's just one side of the coin.

Few people pay attention to the level of humidity in the room, although this is one of the main components of a comfortable and healthy climate for humans, along with temperature.

Neoclima offers to understand in more detail the importance of air humidifiers , the principle of operation and the types of such equipment.

Today, in the modern climate of Kiev and Ukraine, in general, a humidifier is simply necessary, like any other household appliances.

Humidifier - why you need it

It is known that for a person a comfortable level of humidity is from 40% to 60%. And this is absolutely not a fiction, such indicators are confirmed by GSN 3.3.6.042-99, "Sanitary norms for indoor microclimate."

Unfortunately, such an important indicator, in most cases, is not supported, and, accordingly, is below the acceptable norm. The climate inside and outside is different. In certain cases, indoor air humidity can be as low as 20% - for comparison, this is less than in the desert. Many factors influence this:

• the material from which the building is built;
• heaters and heating in general;
• an air conditioner that can dry the air no less than an electric heater.

When humidity drops to 30%, there is a chance of experiencing headaches, mucosal irritation, and similar symptoms of a cold.

Also, it is worth considering for allergy sufferers, since dust and microorganisms in a dry environment are much more active.

And of course, "drought" is harmful to children:

• makes it difficult to breathe;
• dry skin.

By balancing the microclimate in the apartment, both in terms of temperature and humidity within normal limits, it will significantly improve not only well-being, but also prevent a number of diseases.

A humidifier can solve the problem of a dry indoor climate.

Next, we will figure out how to choose it correctly and what they are.

Types of humidifiers

To date, there are several types of humidifiers .

All of them differ from each other in performance, water consumption and even maintenance costs. In order to make the right choice, we recommend that you take a closer look at the features of each type.

Air Humidifier - Traditional

The traditional humidifier is quite simple in design and principle of operation: water is poured into a plastic tank, from where it enters a special cartridge, where it forms into steam, and then, with the help of a fan, it spreads around the room.

Among the advantages of this device, we can distinguish:

1. not a high price;
2. simplicity, and from this and reliability in work.

True, there are also disadvantages: traditional humidifiers have low productivity, and, accordingly, this type is not suitable for quick humidification of a dry microclimate. In addition, the fan creates some noise during operation, which makes the use of such a device at night impossible, or rather, not comfortable.

And finally, filters for cartridges need to be changed periodically, and over time, as the purchased model ages, it will become increasingly difficult to purchase consumables.

Also, choosing a traditional air humidifier , it is worth remembering that the built-in cartridge has the "bloom" feature. And, therefore, if you do not rinse or replace it on time, the smell of a swamp may begin to stand out during operation, which is not a pleasant bonus.

Of course, certain models have special filters that prevent the formation of mold, but they only increase the life of the part before replacement.

Steam humidifiers - advantages and disadvantages

The steam humidifier externally and according to the principle of operation, in general, resembles an electric kettle. Water is poured into a special tank and evaporates due to boiling.

This method of humidification is quite effective and unpretentious to the quality of water (boiling will easily evaporate even hard water and destroy most of the microorganisms). And the quality of the device does not depend on the temperature in the room.

But, do not forget about the disadvantages of such equipment. The higher the power, the greater the power consumption. And leaving the steam humidifier out of control, the room can turn into a bath.

Therefore, when choosing such a device, we recommend considering the option with a hygrometer and an auto-off function.

But the disadvantages do not end there:

• high water consumption;
• the noise of work when boiling water;
• the need for periodic descaling (the heating element of the heating element must be periodically descaled).

And of course, you should carefully monitor if there is a child in the apartment, as hot steam can harm children, pets and electrical equipment, which will be located close to the device.

The location for installing the steam humidifier must be carefully selected.

Ultrasonic Humidifiers

The ultrasonic humidifier is the newest type of humidifier available. The principle of operation lies in a special membrane, which, with the help of ultrasonic waves, splits water into micro drops (cold steam), and the built-in fan blows it out. The advantage of this type of humidifier is:

• silent operation;
• more precise adjustment of the moisture level;
• relatively economical energy consumption.

But, an ultrasonic humidifier , compared to other types of humidifiers, is more sensitive to the quality of the water being filled.

It is recommended to use distilled water, as all scale spreads in the apartment along with moisture particles and forms a white coating on furniture or other things.

Tap water can be used in Neoclima ultrasonic humidifiers , but in this case it is necessary to use a special filter that softens the water.

Neoclima air washers or mixed humidifiers

What is an air washer ?

This is a humidifier, ionizer and air purifier in one, in other words - combined.

An air washer or air purifier is very useful in cities when roads are close to home and there is not enough forest. Air washing creates its own, clean and fresh microclimate in the apartment, and this issue is especially important in the children's room.

Many models have auxiliary filters for deeper air purification; such devices can be called climate complexes.

Neoclima offers a choice of three types of such equipment:

1. The SP series (SP-25, SP-35, SP-45 and SP-65) are standard air humidifiers, depending on the model, they have a built-in ionizer, but absolutely all have the ability to aromatize the air.
2. MP-15 and MP-20 series - these models, in addition to humidification, also "wash" the air, thanks to the built-in filters, the air passing through the device is humidified and cleaned simultaneously from dust, dirt, etc.
3. MP-50 is a full-fledged climatic complex that humidifies, cleans, disinfects and ionizes the air, thanks to a set of filters.

Humidifier, sink or climate complex Neoclima - buy or not

The name “climatic technology” got its name for a reason, it really creates, improves the weather, even if only within the limits of an apartment or house.

The quality of the microclimate in the house depends not only on temperature. Creating weather indoors is complex - temperature, moisture, cleaning.

Only then can you get the desired result.
