The difference between air purifier and air purifier sterilizer


Air purifiers and air sterilizers are common household appliances in modern life. They play an important role in improving indoor air quality, but there are significant differences in their working principles, functions and purpose of use.


air purifier

1. Function and principle:

Air purifiers are mainly used to remove pollutants from the air, such as dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and some harmful gases (such as formaldehyde and carbon dioxide). They usually use materials such as filters (such as HEPA filters) and activated carbon to purify the air through physical filtration and adsorption. Some high-end models are also equipped with negative ion generators and UV lights to enhance the air purification effect.


2. Main uses:

The main goal of an air purifier is to improve the cleanliness and quality of the air, and is suitable for people with air allergies or weak respiratory systems. It is very common in homes, offices and other places, especially in cities with serious air pollution.


air sterilizer

1. Function and principle:

Air sterilizers focus on destroying bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air. They usually use ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, ozone generation, plasma and other technologies to effectively kill pathogens in the air. The working principle of the air sterilizer is to destroy the DNA or RNA of microorganisms through high-energy ultraviolet rays or ozone molecules, thereby achieving the purpose of disinfection.


2. Main uses:

Air sterilizers are suitable for places that require a high level of hygiene, such as hospitals, laboratories, catering industries, and homes with infants or frail patients. It helps prevent airborne infectious diseases and enhances the hygiene and safety of indoor environments.

The focus is different:


Air purifiers mainly focus on removing particulate matter and harmful gases and improving air quality.

Air sterilizers focus more on destroying biological pollutants in the air, such as bacteria and viruses.

Different techniques are used:


Air purifiers mostly use filtration and adsorption technology.

Air sterilizers use optical or chemical methods to sterilize and disinfect.

Applicable scenarios are different:


Air purifiers are suitable for daily home use, especially when the air quality is poor.

Air sterilizers are more suitable for environments that require strict hygiene, such as hospitals, restaurants, etc.


When choosing air purification equipment, consumers should decide whether to purchase an air purifier or an air sterilizer based on their own needs and living environment. Leanda Company has specialized in the production of air purifiers for more than 20 years and has rich experience in the industry, especially medical air purification and disinfection machines.
