For several years, many have been interested in air humidifiers, especially in those families where there are children or the elderly, because the presence of these household appliances allows not only creating a comfortable microclimate in the house, but also improves the general condition of households. Philips air humidifiers are popular. You should know their pros and cons, demanded models, subtleties of choice and operation.

Peculiarities

Philips is a fairly popular company that offers a variety of electronics, as well as beauty and health products, home appliances for the home. The company was founded in 1891. It all started with a small factory producing electric lamps. Today Philips is a well-known international concern that works in various directions. Some of the brand's products are even produced in other factories. The brand's products supplied to Russia are manufactured in different countries of the world, which depends on the type of product.

A large number of products are manufactured in China, and only some types of equipment are assembled in the countries of Eurasia.

Philips air humidifiers are in high demand. They are characterized by excellent quality and high performance. Buyers are attracted by the wide variety of functions, stylish looks and almost silent operation. The main task of the equipment is air humidification, but it can be used for other purposes as well.

If we consider the disadvantages of Philips air humidifiers, it is worth noting the high cost of both equipment and its components and consumables. For example, the price of a filter varies from 900 to 1500 rubles. However, Philips air humidifiers have the following undeniable advantages:

  • beautiful appearance;
  • reliability;
  • security;
  • variety of the lineup;
  • effective functioning.

Important! Air humidifiers are energy efficient because they use little electricity. And also, in general, all models operate silently.

Device

Philips air humidifiers are thought out to the smallest detail. Attention should be paid to the following design features of this equipment, namely:

  • the device includes a special container in which the main volume of water is located; an ultraviolet emitter is located at the base of the equipment;
  • to maintain a certain level of water in the tank, there is a special metering valve;
  • a fan, which is designed to disperse water, is exposed to ultraviolet radiation;
  • there is a liquid crystal display;
  • the presence of a control panel;
  • a hygrostat allows you to determine the level of humidity;
  • some options are supplemented with an ionizer, a flavoring agent, as well as various programs.

    It is worth considering the principle of operation of the device separately.

    • The emitter is the main component, which is presented in the form of a disk or a piezoceramic membrane with removed electrodes. When an alternating current passes, the membrane begins to vibrate, while creating an ultrasound frequency. When the required vibration power is created, water splits into microparticles.
    • An internal chamber is located above the ultrasound element, in which water is converted into an aerosol, then it is removed outside thanks to a built-in type fan. The result is a so-called indoor water mist.
    • With the help of a hygrometer, a constant measurement of the moisture level is made, while the vibration frequency of the ultrasound membrane changes.
    • If all the set humidity values ​​are reached, the device automatically turns off.
