Crystal quartz lamps - clean air and health
More recently, ultraviolet radiation was used only in medical institutions for drug therapy. But thanks to the development of modern technologies and the study of the beneficial properties of quartz exposure, the use of such light has become popular in everyday life. Today, everyone can afford quartz lamps, which will be installed at home and will protect the inhabitants from many harmful bacteria, the main thing is to choose them correctly. The main types and characteristics can be seen on quartz lamps of the Crystal brand, which have proven themselves on the positive side and are in demand among modern buyers.
Purpose and characteristics
Crystal quartz lamps possess bactericidal effect. This property in everyday life is often used for the treatment of air and objects inside the house. Ultraviolet radiation is considered an effective method of combating many organisms harmful to the human body:
- bacteria causing infections;
- viruses;
- disputes;
- fungi.
Due to its properties, crystal quartz lamps completely purify the air and surfaces of objects that are in it. Indoors there will be no opportunity to develop pathogenic microorganisms.
Species
At its core, the apparatus that is used to disinfect rooms resembles a simple lamp that is capable of producing a strong ultraviolet radiation. His strength is enough to kill 99% of the pathogenic bacteria that are in the air.
Most often they are of two types
- Ozone. During operation of these devices, ozone will be released during contact with oxygen, which, at high concentrations, is harmful to living beings. For this reason, the use of such lamps is allowed only in cases where there are no living beings near.
- Bezosonovye. Such models have in their composition a flask made of quartz glass.Thanks to its use, ozone is released in small amounts, which cannot harm a person. They can be used indoors when a person is born.
Only bezosonovye modifications are allowed to use at home..
Different devices and the method of attachment and location.
- Ceiling options are mounted on the ceiling and can no longer be moved at will;
- Wall models allow you to handle a larger volume than the ceiling. This group may include a quartz lamp closed type Crystal 2.
- Desktop models are installed anywhere on a horizontal surface.
- Mobile devices have significant dimensions, which allows for the disinfection of large areas at the same time.
- Portable have smaller dimensions and are used for disinfection of small rooms.
It is worth noting that the devices of the first two types are used more often in medical institutions, and lamps that are easy to move are more suitable for the home.
Also, such devices can be divided into models of open and closed type. On the characteristics of each of them is to stay separately.
Open type devices
An open-type quartz lamp spreads ultraviolet radiation in all directions from the bulb, which allows you to process a large room at once. Such models do not have to work all the time, they are used exclusively on schedule. Their use helps to quickly and effectively carry out air disinfection. But it is worth remembering that UV exposure does not apply to areas that are in the shade. Also, the light from them is not able to penetrate deep into the surface.
Among the main features of the use of such open type devices should be highlighted:
- when purchasing the dimensions of the lighting device should be selected in accordance with the size of the room;
- the distance from the lamp to the surface to be treated should be as small as possible, since disinfection near the lamp will be much more efficient;
- must comply with safety regulations.
It is always worth remembering that a quartz crystal lamp of an open type can cause burns on the skin and the exacerbation of certain diseases.
There is a list of diseases in which the use of such lamps is unacceptable:
- oncology;
- predisposition to bleeding;
- vascular disease;
- problems with the digestive system;
- active tuberculosis.
Another important point is that open-type lamps have a negative effect on the surface of the home interior, and their do not use at home.
Lamps of the closed type
Devices of the closed modification received one more name - recirculator. Such models create UV radiation that does not extend beyond the enclosure. The basic principle of operation of recirculators is that air disinfection takes place inside the llama, and the already cleaned air stream enters the room. Such devices in their design have fans that circulate the air flow. But when using them only air is disinfected, surfaces are not processed.
The main feature of recirculators is complete safety, they can function in the presence of people and living organisms. At the same time, the efficiency of closed-type quartz lamps is lower than that of open ones - it ranges from 90 to 98%. But today only they can be installed at home for air disinfection, if there is a need.
The modern manufacturer offers a huge number of modifications of such devices. Lamps of a closed type can be portable, mobile, wall, for example, as a quartz lamp closed modification Crystal 3which is quite easy to install on the wall. It is equipped with two light bulbs and a powerful ventilation system that helps to quickly and efficiently clean the air (up to 99%).
In conclusion, I would like to note that the effectiveness of the use of such devices largely depends on the correct choice of device, taking into account many points. If you violate the rules of operation and choice, it can, on the contrary, harm the health of your family. Use these lamps at home is only after consultation with experts.
