Ionization
Ionizators are devices for partial ionization of air
​
When this ionized air is blown into rooms or directly onto surfaces, materials can be charged or discharged. The resulting radicals promote chemical degradation processes, which can be used to eliminate odors.
Eliminate electrostatic charge
Plastics become electrostatically charged through friction and movement. Dust particles
and other foreign matter are attracted and adhere. The quality can be considerably reduced by the contamination of high-quality products. In the IAM cleanroom module, ionization is generated via DC voltage and evenly distributed over the air volume flow. The DC voltage generates simultaneously positive and negative ions in high density via separate electrodes, ensuring rapid electrostatic discharge of surfaces.
Air purifier
Devices for ionizing the room air come in different sizes and with varying power. At the lower end of the power and size spectrum are miniature devices for the cigarette lighter in a car or the USB port. Models with compact dimensions (about the size of a one-liter milk carton) are available for use in the kitchen or on a desk. Ionizers are often a subcomponent of air purifiers that have other approaches (e.g., filters and UV light) to purify the air.
The ionizer's effect as an air purifier is mainly due to its dust-binding effect, which is based on the fact that charged ions attach themselves to dust particles in the air and, through their electrostatic interaction, increase the merging with other particles to form a larger cluster. These clusters can be better filtered by an air purifier than individual particles. Accordingly, the separation efficiency and cleaning performance of the air purifier can be increased by the addition of an ionizer.
