Performance requirements for air purifiers against odors

Air purifiers that only have pre-filters are not sufficient to remove odors. Your device should have high-quality combination filters. See here, what an air purifier should do against odors:

• Suitable filters against odors: Your air purifier should at least have a HEPA filter to filter unpleasant odors out of the air. HEPA filters have hundreds of overlapping filter layers between which suspended matter is caught. In order to be allowed to use the designation HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) at all, a filter must capture at least 99.97 percent of these particles. The highest filter class, HEPA 14, even has a filter performance of 99.995 percent. Odor particles can, however, also float in the air as microfine aerosols, some of which can even pass through a HEPA filter. These smallest particles can be reliably captured by an additional activated carbon filter.
• Sufficient air exchange: Each air purifier is designed for a specific number of square meters. This shows the size of the room, the air of which the device can exchange once an hour. To keep the air you breathe free of odors, you should choose a model that can change the air at least twice an hour. An exchange rate of three to five times an hour is even better.
• Operating volume: Our modern air purifiers are extremely quiet in operation. If you want to buy a device for at home – especially for night use in the bedroom – we recommend a model for twice the room size. This can then work particularly quietly at low speeds.
• Size and spacing: The air purifier needs clearance from walls and furniture. For optimal performance against odors, place it near windows, doors or heaters. There should always be a distance of one meter from furniture.
