What is useful bactericidal irradiator-recirculator
Bactericidal recirculator-irradiator is designed for cleaning and disinfecting the air in various rooms. More recently, such devices were installed exclusively in hospitals and operating rooms, but later they found their application in other public places - schools, kindergartens, and public institutions. Device disinfects the air, destroying about 99% of pathogenic bacteria. Especially important is the use of such devices during periods of epidemics of viral diseases: influenza, ARVI. Bactericidal recirculator-irradiator (wall-mounted or mobile) is also suitable for home or workplace.

General overview of disinfection devices
There are several types of devices for air sterilization:
- bactericidal irradiator - an open device;
- bactericidal recycle irradiator - devices of closed type with built-in fan;
- combined models with a removable screen, they can be used as a regular feed or as a recirculator;
- quartz lamps.
The scope of each depends on the type, some are used exclusively for medical purposes, others are suitable for working or living conditions.
What are the key benefits of this technique?
- Sterilization of air and the elimination of about 99.9% of pathogenic microorganisms, including pathogens of viral diseases, fungi, spores, allergens.
- The choice of device according to the type of installation: combined, wall-mounted or mobile.
- Recirculators provide an even distribution of air masses in an open or closed room, effectively cleaning the air.
- Relatively affordable cost and long service life.
- Devices of all types are easy to operate, do not require special knowledge, do not create unnecessary noise.
Open type irradiators
Devices of open type are mainly used in medical institutions. Ultraviolet lamps are open and spread the rays by 360 °, which makes it possible to disinfect not only the surrounding air, but objects or planes. The design allows the use of irradiators such as directional sterilizerslike quartz lamps.
The principle of operation of the open type irradiator is simple: a UV lamp spreads radiation and processes the air around the installation. The lack of open modifications is that they do not block ultraviolet rays, while people, pets, and any plants are not allowed to be treated during the processing of the room. In addition, for good sterilization, forced air circulation may be necessary, for example, installation of a fan. There are models with protective screen or rotary lamps, with the use of such devices is admissible short-term stay of a person.
Any version of the open device is designed for use for medical purposes, but not for residential buildings or apartments.
Illuminators-recirculators closed
Such bactericidal recyclers irradiators are more practical in comparison with open modifications. This is the best and most importantly safe option for use at home or at work. Ultraviolet lamps are located inside the case, where air purification takes place. Forced circulation carries built-in fanThis design provides better disinfection. In addition, during use, the presence of people, animals or plants for an unlimited time is permissible.
The irradiator-retsirkulyator is universal, its area of use is extended from the apartment to the operating room. The main thing is to understand the potential of the existing model or select a new one in accordance with the characteristics of the room where it will be installed.
The advantage of the recirculator is its ease of use, which is important for living conditions. In addition to the fact that closed UV lamps do not harm adults and children, animals and domestic plants, after the sterilization cycle, the user does not need additional manipulations.
The difference between recirculator and quartz lamp
Mercury-quartz cleaners - one of the varieties of recirculator, but here the lamps are made of quartz glass. In the process, the device forms ozone, dangerous to all living things. Therefore, after processing the room must be well ventilated.
Ultraviolet lamps bactericidal recyclers are able to filter ozone-forming radiation, in addition, they do not contain mercury. Despite the use of quartz lamps used to treat various diseases, it is not the most practical option for regular disinfection of residential premises. Quartz versions will bring great benefit in the premises of medical institutions or as directional devices.
How to choose a recirculator for home or office
The purchase of a bactericidal re-circulator for the house is fully justified: regular disinfection contributes to the prevention of viral diseases and prevents the spread of viruses. Purification of air helps to recover faster, improves the general condition of a person. For the house it is rational to use a recirculator (irradiator of the closed type). Consider the basic criteria for selecting a device.
- Performance. The recirculator is selected based on the area of the room, calculating the volume in cubic meters. It is permissible to purchase a model with lower productivity, but the process will be longer, the normal deviation should not exceed 15 - 20%.
- Installation method. Recirculator-irradiator bactericidal mobile mobile, as needed, it can be used in different rooms. Wall models are fixed on any reliable plane at a distance of at least 1 m from the floor or ceiling. The combined versions combine the possibilities of portable and wall, but the price is slightly higher.
- Body material. Recyclers are produced in a metal or plastic case. The metal is more reliable, withstands falling or mechanical shocks, which is a significant advantage, because open UV radiation is dangerous. When the probability of breakage is absent, you can stop the choice on the budget plastic version.
- Control system. This indicator determines the ease of use, it is good if the device displays information about the hours worked, the condition of the UV lamps, a timer will not be out of place.
- Filtration system additionally cleans the air from dust, chemical elements.
When buying, you should also pay attention to complete set. Often, the bactericidal irradiator is not wall-mounted or mobile, does not contain a stand, a set of fasteners, a filter or other additional accessories necessary for use.
Contraindications to use
Before you decide to buy a health-friendly device, it is worth assessing how safe its use will be. Sellers often recommend prior consultation with a therapist. First of all, all people have different ultraviolet sensitivityIn the second, there are a number of diseases in which UV radiation is harmful to humans.
The basic list of diseases for which the use of the irradiator is prohibited:
- individual intolerance;
- all types of tumors;
- active tuberculosis;
- inflammatory processes in acute form;
- hypertension;
- ulcer, diseases of the duodenum, thyroid gland;
- renal or cardiovascular failure.
Choosing the right air sterilizer does not preclude a visit to a medical center to a specialist for detailed consultation.
Stationary or mobile bactericidal recyclers are simple and safe for children, adults, pets or plants. Regular use of devices will significantly reduce the risk of viral diseases transmitted from person to person by airborne droplets.
