Optimal placement of room air purifiers is key to ensuring that they are efficiently cleaning the air while maintaining the comfort of occupants. In this article, we will take a closer look at the best locations to place a room air purifier in your room.
Consideration 1 – Noise level
Room air purifiers generate noise, especially when it is cleaning more air in the room at higher settings. If you want to use a room air purifier at a high speed while ensuring that no one else is bothered by the noise it generates, you need to ensure it is placed as far away as possible from other people. The further away it is from other people, the lower their perception is of the noise level.
A good place to consider placing a room air purifier is at a corner of the room where no one usually sits next to. This will ensure its distance to other people is as far away as possible.
Barring space constraints, an air purifier should be at least 1 to 2 meters away from the person closest to it.
Consideration 2 – Multiple units
Let’s say you have two or more room air purifiers in a living room – how should you place them in order to ensure optimal performance?
If you have multiple units, you should place them as far away as possible from each other. The air that is closest to an air purifier is usually cleaned first, so having all of the air purifiers spaced far apart will allow he air in the room to be cleaned more efficiently than placing them side-by-side together.
The most optimal configuration would be to place the air purifiers at all four corners of a room.
Consideration 3 – Clearance
Lastly, it’s important to maintain some clearance between the air purifier and other objects, such as furniture and walls, to ensure that its air-intake isn’t obstructed. We recommend setting at least 10 cm clearance on all sides of the air purifier for optimal performance.
Conclusion
Room air purifiers should be placed at a distance away from the person closest to it to ensure they aren’t disturbed by the noise it generates. Whenever possible, place the room air purifiers at a corner of the room, and set them apart from each other in order to improve air cleaning performance, and ensure there is at least 10 cm of clearance between the air purifier and other objects.
