空气净化器会让空气更干燥吗?

实验数据表明:空气净化器可以很好地净化空气。但是空气净化器会让空气变得更干吗?会导致其他健康问题吗?或者空气净化器能当除湿机用吗?

对我来说,空气干燥对我没什么影响,但是对易过敏体质人群、支气管炎患者就不太友好了。

空气净化器对湿度有影响吗?

为了研究空气净化器对湿度的影响,我们进行了一个测试。首先在一个封闭的房间点燃香烟,让烟雾充满房间。

然后打开小胖25分钟。

测试时,我们使用了Air Visual pro 测试仪来记录颗粒污染物和湿度的变化。

20分钟过后,PM2.5颗粒从接近200微克/立方米降到0微克/立方米(红线)。但是湿度并没有降低(蓝线)。

活性炭滤网会让空气变干吗?

这是一个简易版HEPA滤网净化器:一个风扇+一个HEPA滤网。

如果我们加一个活性炭滤网,情况会变得复杂。活性炭滤网能去除气体污染,如:甲醛VOCs、NO2和臭氧等。

这些气体会被活性炭滤网吸附在表面。difference between adsorb and absorb carbon filters making air dry

我们猜测活性炭滤网也能把水蒸汽吸走!

但毕竟只是猜测,我们同样做了测试:

我们用有一大片活性炭滤网的大胖进行测试,大胖的活性炭滤网含有高达1.1公斤的活性炭。

这样也可以更准确地检测到它对湿度的影响。

大胖很快“清空”了房间内的污染物。污染物在15分钟内从250微克/立方米降为0微克/立方米。湿度降低了2%。

因此,活性炭会稍微降低一些湿度。这和现有研究理论相符合,科学家在实验室测试时发现,只有很少一部分水蒸汽吸附在上面。活性炭具有疏水性,说明它不吸引水分子,但活性炭含有一些氧气,这些氧气可能会吸引水分子。

Bottom Line
结论: 空气净化器会让空气更干燥吗?
装有HEPA滤网的空气净化器不会降低湿度,而活性炭滤网会轻微降低湿度。

注意:如果空气净化器或风扇的风是直吹到你的身上的,会加速身体表面的水分流失,让你感觉很干燥。有一个简单的解决办法:把空气净化器换个方向!

More precise would be to weight the carbon filter on a scale to see how much heavier it gets after adsorbing the humidity. As I tested it has some effect when you get brand new sealed filter and place it into the air purifier – it got heavies by 20grams after half an hour. But of course 20grams of water from the room is nothing – specially when it just took the water once.
