It is already common sense that formaldehyde will be contained in the decoration materials and household items of the house, and formaldehyde will increase the risk of cancer. But most people think that everything will be fine after a few months after the house is renovated, but this is not the case.
Formaldehyde is contained in paints, glues, textiles, etc., and then slowly released, some of which can be as long as 10 years depending on the item. The law of formaldehyde release is that the higher the temperature, the more it is released.
In the hot summer, it is the time when formaldehyde is released the most, and the doors and windows are closed when the air conditioner is turned on, at this time, it is undoubtedly the time when formaldehyde is the most harmful to people. Therefore, major air conditioning brands have launched aldehyde removal versions of air conditioners.
01
What is the function and principle of formaldehyde removal in air conditioner?
The aldehyde removal function of the air conditioner means that the air conditioner can remove formaldehyde from the air in the room and give the room healthier air.
The principle of aldehyde removal of air conditioner is generally to add a formaldehyde removal module at the air inlet of the air conditioner, or also called the filter screen for aldehyde removal, which is equivalent to the filter screen of room air.
The aldehyde removal module of the air conditioner generally adopts Nano-AMC manganese-catalyzed aldehyde removal technology, which first adsorbs free formaldehyde by surface activated carbon, and then decomposes formaldehyde under the catalytic action of activated manganese. Formaldehyde is completely decomposed into carbon dioxide and water, which are harmless to humans.
Generally, the air output of a 1.5 hp air conditioner is 600-750 cubic meters per hour, and a 15-square-meter room, calculated according to the height of 3 meters, is 45 cubic meters. In other words, an air conditioner can circulate the air in the room about 15 times in one hour. The aldehyde removal version of the air conditioner is equivalent to filtering the air in the room 15 times in 1 hour.
In 1 hour, you can remove aldehydes in the whole house. No matter what season it is, the air conditioner can remove aldehydes when it is turned on. In spring and autumn, you can turn on the air supply mode, the cooling mode in summer, and the heating mode in winter.
Can an ordinary air conditioner add an aldehyde removal module?
The answer is, no. Because the aldehyde removal version of the air conditioner is specially designed. Because:
First of all, the installation of the aldehyde removal module is generally slotted, and ordinary air conditioners cannot be installed;
Secondly, if the aldehyde removal module is hard-installed at the air inlet, for example, it will increase the wind resistance and have wind damage, which may cause the air inlet volume of the air conditioner heat exchanger to be insufficient and affect the normal operation of the air conditioner.
Finally, if the ordinary air conditioner is installed with a module, it may also increase the noise of the air conditioner.
02
Is the aldehyde removal module for air conditioners useful?
Macroscopic analysis, many brands have successively launched the aldehyde removal version of air conditioners, indicating that the effect is certain, and consumers are willing to accept it.
The price of the air conditioner that has just started to remove aldehyde is generally higher, basically more than 4000 yuan, which is prohibitive, and now Haier has launched a 1.5 hp neck Chang aldehyde removal version, the price is less than 3000 yuan, and soon the aldehyde removal air conditioner will enter the homes of ordinary people.
Data analysis, since it is a product launched by a big brand (such as Gree and Haier), there will inevitably be an authoritative inspection report, which can achieve a certain effect. As for people's acceptance, there is still a process to be done.
03
Is the aldehyde removal version of the air conditioner an IQ tax? Is it worth buying?
After all, the aldehyde removal air conditioner has more aldehyde removal modules than ordinary air conditioners, and the power, fan blades, and air volume of the motor have also been re-adapted, and the price is more expensive than ordinary air conditioners.
I think this is like a water purifier, some people say it is necessary, some people say it is not necessary, there is a certain amount of truth, it depends on the situation. Some people live in places with beautiful mountains and rivers and feel that water purifiers are not necessary, and some people live in places with poor water resources and feel that water purifiers are necessary.
The same goes for aldehyde removal air conditioning, newly renovated houses, if possible, you can consider aldehyde removal air conditioning, after all, it is closely related to your own health.
Of course, whether it is worth buying an aldehyde air conditioner depends on your concept, if you are concerned about air quality and quality of life, it is worth buying. If you don't pay attention to this aspect, you can buy a regular air conditioner.
