There are so many air purifiers on the market and lots of claims as to how well they clean the ambient air in your home, reduce indoor air pollution, etc. And usually, we just take for granted that the air purifier is doing its job. When you spend several hundred dollars on a quality room air purifier, you want to know that you haven’t wasted your money, right? Well, now you can test like a pro and determine whether that air purifier is or how well it is removing allergy causing particles and other pollutants — with a portable laser particle counter.
Laser particle counters or air quality monitors use laser beams to detect particles in the air—when a particle floats past or intersects a beam, the computer counts that particle. After about 15 minutes, you’ll get an accurate reading of how many particles are floating around—multiply that by 100 and you’ll know exactly how many particles are present per cubic foot of air in your home, office, shop, etc. Portable laser particle counters are great for giving you peace of mind about your air purifiers or at least help you make a better decision. If you test the air when your air purifier has been running for a few minutes and test when the unit is off and compare numbers, you should see a lot lower numbers of particles when the unit is running. If they are pretty close, or the particle numbers are higher when the air purifier is running, you’ve got a problem with the air purifier. Sometimes it is simply because the filters were not installed correctly and didn’t seal so you can re-seat the filters and check again. If the air purifier still isn’t doing its job, you may want to choose another brand.
One brand of air quality monitors that we have found effective and affordable is Dylos. Dylos air quality monitors have been around a long time and they have a reputation for being accurate, durable and affordable. The Dylos DC1100 series includes several monitor models, some with PC interface where you can view the particle counts and hour-by-hour history on a computer via graphs, and one that is designed for air purifier testing—the Dylos DC1100 Air Purifier Test Portable Air Monitor. To accurately test an air purifier, the unit must be able to detect a full range of sizes of particles, including sub-micron particles down to 0.5 microns, and it must be electrically shielded so that the air purifier’s energy field doesn’t throw off the readings.
If you try to use a basic air monitor without this shielding or one that doesn’t include a full range of particle sizes, you’ll be getting inaccurate or incomplete air quality information. That is why Dylos air monitors are so good—they are very accurate and give you clear information, the first time. Your air monitor can also help you monitor overall indoor air quality and let you know if you need to change you’re air conditioner filters or if you need duct cleaning, etc. If you need to make sure the air is dust free for painting, wood working or refinishing, the Dylos DC 1100 series can tell you clearly when the air is clean enough to begin! And since Dylos air monitors are portable, you can take them with you to check air quality in other areas, prevent allergies, help out a friend and more.
