Car ionizer cares for driver health

With a decrease in the concentration of negative ions in the air of a car salon, the driver may experience dizziness and pain in the temples, the most dangerous is drowsiness, incompletely burned products and exhaust gases from cars passing by are concentrated in the cabin, which can lead to loss of consciousness, and this can lead to Accident with a fatal outcome.

This problem cannot be solved by airing the truck’s cabin or the truck’s cabin for a short time, therefore, scientists have developed a car air ionizer, with its active help the cabin’s air space is filled with silver ions, which eliminate harmful impurities. Many drivers do not believe in such miracles, so we advise them to read this article to radically change their minds.

What is a car air purifier

It was automobile ionizers that made a real revolution in the minds of most motorists and a significant breakthrough in technological progress, because now the driver can not risk his health by arranging a draft for ventilation - the autoionizer will clear the air of all harmful impurities.

Thanks to such a compact device, which is powered by a cigarette lighter, after a few minutes there will be no harmful components left in the cabin - even a cigarette smoke purifier destroys in just one minute. Of course, our readers are interested in the question of how this product works. Its principle of operation differs little from a similar stationary household device.

Any ionizer or household humidifier is a copy of Chizhevsky’s chandelier, there was such a Russian inventor who invented a device that produces anions. They have a beneficial effect on the air that we constantly breathe. When connected to any current source, the voltage is applied to the electrodes, and from the other end the electrons “fly off”, which interact with oxygen molecules - as a result, anions are formed.

Dust, pollen, fungal spores, and other harmful impurities are suspended in the air, but during contact with negative ions they become heavier and, as chemists say, precipitate, i.e., onto the floor and other surfaces in the machine. Some models are equipped with built-in fine filters based on coal or the HEPA class, they are much more efficient, but they also cost more.

What is the device intended for?

When driving on city streets and highways, cars pick up dust from the roadway, which penetrates into the passenger compartment, and the driver inhales it involuntarily, exhaust gases are mixed in here - this cocktail negatively affects the human body, therefore compact ionizers installed in the car were developed.

In megacities, the accumulation of positive ions occurs due to the high content of carbon dioxide in the air, they far exceed acceptable standards, so many people get spoiled in the morning, there is some concern, and even coordination of movements may be disturbed. For drivers, this condition is dangerous because their attention is reduced and drowsiness occurs, but they need a quick reaction while driving on roads - they have to make decisions in seconds.
Negative ions produced by a small device give energy, destroy all the above negative factors, giving the air a life-giving force. This is why you need a small-sized device in your car.

Advantages and disadvantages

First, we list all the advantages of ionizers:

1. Increased performance.
2. Eliminating allergy sources.
3. Increases resistance to acute respiratory infections.
4. The air is cleaned of dust, exhaust gas contamination, unpleasant odors disappear.
5. There is a destruction of bacteria and germs.
6. The development of mold and mildew is prevented.
7. Low energy consumption - all models are powered by a cigarette lighter.
8. Long service life due to the relatively high wear resistance.
9. Silent operation does not distract the driver.
10. Small dimensions and weight contribute to the high mobility of the device.

There are also disadvantages:

• low power;
• excessive production of ozone can be harmful to health;
• creates an additional electromagnetic field
• regular maintenance required.

Such products are not recommended for people with low blood pressure, asthma, arthritis, so the circle of potential users is significantly narrowed. Before using such products, read the instructions and find out all the negative factors of influence - perhaps this device is contraindicated for you.

Secrets of choice

Before you buy an ionizer, study the models, because many motorists prefer products with a fan, which in use show better results, but their cost increases significantly. You can purchase a model with basic functions: cleaning and ionization, and if you need a device with a special filter, then you need to choose carefully.

Allergy sufferers are ideally suited for a HEPA filter that traps pet pollen and fine pet hair, while heavy smokers can use a product with excellent ionization to eliminate tobacco fumes in the cabin. Taxi drivers and truckers will appreciate the aroma with the freshness of citruses or freshly ground coffee beans - these smells tone up and prevent you from falling asleep behind a donut.

The average cost of such products on the domestic market of Russia is within 1.5 thousand rubles - you can buy a portable ionizer from Chinese "craftsmen" for 150 rubles or a more advanced product at a price of 2.5 thousand rubles, it all depends on your financial capabilities and personal preferences. The class of your car is also of great importance.

Differences

Ionizers for cars have not only different prices, but also dimensions and weight - it all depends on the specific model. For example, sizes can vary: from a diameter of 23 mm to a width / depth of 680/700 mm, a height of not more than 80 mm, and weight - 25-400 grams. We will explain all this in detail in the section where models from different manufacturers will be presented.

Terms of use

Any technique has its own individual nuances, so you need to carefully study the instructions for use, and the rules recommended by the manufacturer must be strictly followed:

1. Processing of the cabin is carried out only with tightly closed windows.
2. After processing, they carry out cleaning with a damp cloth, because all the harmful trace elements have fallen on the floor and other parts of the interior equipment.
3. Before turning on the device, it is recommended to ventilate the interior.
4. It is better not to stay inside while the high-performance instrument is on.
5. The body of the product when it is located on the dashboard can not be blocked by other objects.
6. The device is afraid of dampness and falls.
7. Wipe the plates with a damp cloth and change the filters periodically.
8. Powerful devices can produce ozone in quantities that are safe for health, and it absorbs odors and smoke from cigarettes. It is better not to be present at his work, but to take a walk in the fresh air while the interior is being redeveloped.

As you can see, there are not so many rules, and it’s pretty easy to follow them. Given all the requirements, miniature ionizers are considered the most suitable for frequent use, which look like candles from the engine, only in bright colors.

findings

For a car, it is necessary to use a more compact technique, among the presented models, the last in the list is clearly not for the passenger compartment, since negative leaks are possible or this occurs due to steam condensation. However, everyone chooses at his discretion.
