ultrasonic humidifier and evaporative humidifier

How to choose an ultrasonic humidifier and an evaporative humidifier?

In fact, no matter what type of humidifier it is, the first thing users should pay attention to is the "humidification capacity" data, which is also the main basis for intuitively judging the actual performance of the humidifier. Under the same conditions, the greater the amount of humidification, the better. At the same time, the appropriate dosage should be compatible with the actual indoor area. Also, pay attention to the tank capacity of your humidifier. If it is a family scene, it is usually recommended that you choose a humidifier with a larger capacity to avoid the problem of frequent water addition.

When there is water shortage, it will not only remind the user in real time, but also because of the working principle of cold evaporation, even if the humidifier is short of water, it will not cause any loss to the user.

Although ultrasonic humidifiers are very common, there are also many hidden dangers. Take the dry burning problem of ultrasonic humidifiers as an example, although many ultrasonic humidifiers currently have a water shortage protection mechanism. However, if the humidifier is not cleaned regularly, excessive scale will affect the normal function of the floating sensor in the humidifier. Therefore, the water shortage protection function of the humidifier will fail, and even cause a fire in severe cases.

Humidifiers currently on the market are mainly divided into ultrasonic humidifiers and evaporative humidifiers, but because ultrasonic is relatively cheap, the popularity rate is relatively high. This type of product mainly uses the high-frequency oscillation generated by ultrasonic waves to atomize the water and diffuse it into the air through the wind-driven device, so as to achieve the humidification effect on the dry air. As for the evaporative humidifier, we can find from the name that the evaporative humidifier actually evaporates naturally, and then quickly diffuses the evaporated water vapor into the air through the wind-driven device, so as to achieve the effect of separating dry and wet humidification. In general, evaporative humidifiers are slightly more expensive than ultrasonic humidifiers.

1. The humidifier should not be operated for a long time

A humidifier, as the name suggests, is just an auxiliary tool to increase the humidity of the air. When it is opened, there will be bursts of steam. After a period of time, the indoor air will feel very humid, but if it is left for too long, it may cause the indoor humidity to be too high. , is not beneficial to the human body, and water droplets will form on the ground. If there are old people or children at home, they may accidentally slip and fall.

2. Humidifier pneumonia is coming quietly

If the humidifier is turned on for a long time at home, the humidity in the house will increase, but the mold contained in it will also enter the air with the mist. As we breathe, we inhale bacteria into our lungs. Humidifier pneumonia can also occur. Similar to air-conditioning diseases in summer, especially if there are children at home, it is better to raise them for a longer period of time.

3. There are many respiratory diseases

In the same way, bacteria can not only cause pneumonia, but also easily cause respiratory diseases such as bronchitis. There are also various online celebrity methods, such as adding vinegar or isatidis to the water, but science has proved that this is not only useless, but may also be counterproductive and accelerate the reproduction of bacteria. The most suitable water for humidifiers should be pure water.

4. Inferior humidifiers are harmful

Now open a certain treasure search, you can buy a cheap humidifier for 20 or 30 yuan, but this kind of humidifier is not safe to use, because when it releases water mist, various plastic harmful substances will also release it and add it. water. The risk is also high in the event of a spill. Therefore, if you want to have a good quality of life, it is best to buy a safer humidifier.

5. Adding tap water is risky

The best water for a humidifier is pure water. If tap water is added, it may damage the evaporator in the humidifier. After all, tap water contains a lot of minerals, and it is also prone to alkaline water, so add pure water according to the instructions. Water is better.

Humidifiers are still very good for increasing indoor humidity, but it does not mean that the higher the air humidity, the more suitable for people to live. When it is dry in winter, the comfortable humidity for the human body is around 50%. If the humidity is too high, there will be chest tightness, so humidification should be moderate.
