American Micronic AMI AP1 22Dx 22-Watt Air Purifier
If you live in a city or town with high air pollution, you might want to consider installing an air purifier in your home. It is an effective way to counter the ill-effects of pollution. An air purifier draws in contaminated air, filters it and gives out clean air. It removes dust, inhibits germs and keeps your living quarters sanitized.
For small indoor spaces like office cabins and bedrooms, the American Micronic AMI AP1 22DX is an excellent air purifier. It uses HEPA technology, activated carbon and an anion generator to fight pollution. Let us take a closer look at the technology and features of the AMI AP1 22DX.
Technology And Features:
The American Micronic AMI AP1 22DX is the best air purifier for compact rooms. It combines several of the latest air filtration technologies to cleanse your house air. It protects against airborne diseases, lowered lung activity, irritation of eyes, nose, mouth and throat, coughing, wheezing, headache, dizziness and bronchitis. It also keeps you from developing endocrine, reproductive, immune and neuro-behavioral disorders.
As the dust-filled air enters the machine, it first passes through a pre-filter. This filter removes large pollutants like dust bunnies, lint, pollen and bits of fabric and paper. The pre-filter takes a bit of the pressure off the other filters and helps them perform better and last longer.
The second filter the air passes through is the HEPA filter. It is an advanced air filter with the ability to capture up to 99.97% allergens as tiny as 0.3 micron. It intercepts PM 2.5, PM 10, cigarette smoke, pollen, spores, bacteria, viruses, dust mites and pet dander. The HEPA filter protects the lungs and prevents fine particulate matter from infiltrating the airways.
The third filter is an activated carbon filter. It traps poisonous gases, bad odors and chemical fumes. It is tough on VOCs like formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia. It also removes minute oil droplets and hydrocarbons from the air.
The fourth and final filter is an ionizer, also known as anion generator. It produces a cloud of negatively charged ions whose job is to attract positively charged air pollutants like pollen, fungal spores, dust, animal hair and dead skin flakes.
The ions stick to the particles forming pairs of ions and pollutants. These pairs then settle on furniture, walls, floors, and even stick to the ceiling. Some of them are sucked into the air purifier and filtered out. Others remain stuck to the surfaces and can be cleaned through vacuuming, dusting and mopping. By adhering to the polluting particles, anions prevent them from floating around in the indoor air and entering human bodies.
The air feels fresher and we breathe more freely. Anions are also known to promote a sense of well-being. They lower stress and keep us in good mood.
The purifier has an option to turn off the ionizer. An Ionizer On/Off button on the user panel allows you to control this function.
Once the air has passed through these 4 stages of filtration, it is fit for respiration. The purifier constantly circulates the air, sieving out impurities and giving out pure air. It has a CADR of 220 m3/h and cleans air within a space of 150 to 200 ft2.
The device has a timer for pre-fixing the operation time to 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours. There are 3 airflow speeds. Depending on the pollution in the room, you can increase or decrease the airflow to suit your needs. The air purifier has whisper-quiet operation. It has a special Sleep Mode for silent functioning during sleep hours.
The American Micronic AMI AP1 22DX has a wattage of 22 watts and voltage of 220 volts AC, 50 Hz. It has a strong plastic outer body with white and grey panels. It is shaped like a cylinder but is not exactly so. The circumference is slightly pentagonal with contoured edges. The purifier is 29 cm high, 16 cm wide and 17 cm deep. Since it is not very big, you can place it on your study or work table, or stand it on the floor next to your bedside table.
