Air ionizers are a popular choice for air purification, but many people are concerned about their safety in damp environments. It is important to note that air ionizers are designed for indoor use only, and the recommended humidity in the room should be between 45 and 75%.Air ionizers work by creating an ion corona which interacts with electrons in nearby gas molecules. This is done using either alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The maintenance intervals for ionizers vary depending on the type of ionization equipment and the environment in which it is used.
Generally, air purifiers with ionizers are safe as they do not have enough energy to be harmful to the body. Ion bars are a type of ceiling ionizer that are compact and can be installed in places where typical ionizers don't fit. AC ionizers are usually preferred in automated assembly line applications, as they ensure that the charge is evenly and quickly dissipated across the surface of an object. This method of ionization makes it unlikely that objects will block the flow of ionized air to the object being protected. Due to conflicting data related to the safety of air ionizers, I tend to keep this option turned off. If you have an air purifier with an ionizer, it should be on for 8 hours every day.
I have a Therapure TPP300D with UV+ Ionizer that is on for 8 hours in my living room. While no ionizer achieves perfect balance, one that discharges objects from potentials of tens of thousands of volts to levels of a few tens of volts is considered to be adequately balanced. Aerial ionization was developed to solve the problem of objects on a work table blocking the flow of ionized air. Additionally, since ionizers are not effective against mold spores, and since cars are small, enclosed spaces, it is not recommended to use an ionizing air purifier in your car as ozone concentrations could build up if the windows are closed. In conclusion, air ionizers can be safely installed in damp environments as long as the humidity level is between 45 and 75%. However, it is important to keep in mind that air purifiers with an ionizer should only be used for 8 hours a day and should not be used in cars due to potential ozone buildup.
