The winter is cold, the general home heating, with the increase in temperature, indoor has become more and more dry, very uncomfortable. So it is necessary to buy a humidifier to replenish moisture! There are many kinds of humidifiers on the market. What should be paid attention to when choosing and using humidifiers? Come and learn about it!
Key points of choosing humidifier:
1. Pay attention to safety. Although the potential hazard of humidifier is less, it still involves power consumption. Therefore, the purchase should choose the products produced by regular manufacturers, so as to avoid electricity safety problems in the use process.
2. Determine the amount of humidification. Humidification amount refers to the number of milliliters of water that can be atomized by the humidifier per hour. When purchasing, you should select the corresponding humidification amount according to the space size of the place where the humidifier is placed, so as to avoid insufficient or excessive humidity in the space after use.
3. Avoid excessive noise. Although the atomization effect of some humidifiers is good, but the noise is very big during operation, which will affect our work efficiency and quality. Therefore, we should try it out first and adjust the humidification to the maximum to test the noise level.
4. No white powder can be produced. For some inferior ultrasonic humidifiers, calcium and magnesium in water may be broken into particles, which will float directly into the air, and then deposit on the furniture and floor with a layer of white powder. This kind of humidifier will bring secondary pollution to the air. Please pay attention to the manual when purchasing.
5. With automatic adjustment function. When the air humidity is not enough, it can automatically humidify, when the air reaches a certain humidity, it can stop humidifying. The automatic adjustment function makes it convenient for us not to pay attention to the indoor humidity all the time.
Precautions for using humidifier:
1. Use purified water or softened water instead of tap water.
2. Empty the water tank first and then fill it with clean water every day.
3. Clean at least once a month.
4. If you use a direct evaporative humidifier, be sure to replace the evaporation core according to the frequency recommended in the manual. One is to protect the machine, the other is to ensure the purity of the mist and prevent secondary pollution.
The use of humidifier should pay attention to avoid "humidifier pneumonia":
"Humidifier pneumonia" not only refers to pneumonia, including a series of respiratory diseases caused by improper use of humidifier, including upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.
1. Using the humidifier for a long time leads to high indoor humidity. The humid environment provides growth conditions for pathogens such as mold, which is easy to cause respiratory diseases, cough, pneumonia and other diseases.
2. If the humidifier is not cleaned, the water in the humidifier is stagnant water, which is easy to absorb and breed bacteria. These bacteria turn into water mist containing bacteria through the humidifier, and then inhaled into the lungs by the human body, which is easy to cause respiratory diseases.
The majority of patients with humidifier pneumonia are infants, the elderly and other people with weak resistance. However, if normal people are in the environment of improper use of humidifier for a long time, they may also suffer from "humidifier pneumonia".
If it is diagnosed, first of all, you should leave the environment and stop using the humidifier. Then you should go to the respiratory department of the hospital in time, and follow the doctor's advice.
Maintenance of humidifier
1. Ultrasonic humidifier uses pure water for humidification, because the water quality in many areas is relatively hard, that is to say, the content of calcium and magnesium ions is high. In addition, bleaching powder and other water purification agents are used in water treatment in the water plant. These ingredients are very unfavorable for humidifier humidification. Some calcium and magnesium ions are ejected together with water mist and disperse on the surface of the object and on the ground. After drying, they form "white powder" scale A part of the precipitate on the surface of the energy exchange plate and the water tank forms solid scale, which is caused by the impure water quality. Moreover, the scaling on the surface of the energy exchange plate will affect the humidification effect. Even if it is not cleaned in time, it will lead to the load increase of the energy exchange plate and the electronic components.
2. The water tank will not be stored for a long time, so the water quality will not be changed for a long time.
3. do not add inferior additives (such as perfume) in the water tank, which will easily cause cracks on the water tank and the base of the water tank, which will affect the normal operation of the machine.
4. When storing the humidifier, please clean and dry the wet part. If the humidifier is placed in a ventilated place, it will be put into the packing box after air drying. Tips: never use plastic bags for collection
5. Pay attention to the following three points in the cleaning method of energy exchange plate:
First of all, disconnect the power supply for operation.
Secondly, special cleaning agent should be used for cleaning. During cleaning, 5-8 drops of cleaning fluid should be applied to the surface of the energy exchange plate. Of course, it should be increased or decreased according to the scale degree until the scale is removed. It should be noted that hard tools should not be used to force descaling, so as to avoid scratching the energy exchange plate.
Finally: after cleaning, rinse the water tank with clean water. When washing, do not let the water flow into or splash into the engine base, so as to avoid short circuit and damage to electronic components.
6. Pay attention to check the water level float switch during use. If the float is scaling and the weight is heavier, it will lose the water free self-stop function and affect the normal operation of the machine.
7. Air duct cleaning, all kinds of humidifiers (except electric heating type) have pneumatic device. With this device, there are air inlet and outlet. If the air inlet is used for a long time, dust will be blocked and the air inlet will be blocked, which will directly affect the water mist diffusion. The air inlet and outlet of the machine should be cleaned regularly.
