In the heat of summer, everyone thinks about the longed-for coolness that can be enjoyed when the air conditioner is running. However, it should be remembered that in addition to the ambient temperature, the quality of the air is also important.
According to WHO data for 2022, 99% of the world’s population lived in areas with air pollution levels that exceeded the established standards. Clean air was recorded in only 13 countries, and unfortunately, Ukraine was not one of them.
To maintain optimal indoor microclimate conditions, several devices are usually required: an air conditioner to cool the air, a humidifier to combat dryness, a dehumidifier for high humidity, and an ionizer to saturate it with negative ions. Buying each device separately for a specific task is expensive and inconvenient. That is why there is a universal solution on the market — a climate complex.

What is a climate complex?
A climate control system is a multifunctional device that maintains optimal air quality in your office or home. It combines several functions at once, including allergen purification and removal, humidification, cooling, ionization, and more.
How to choose climate control equipment?
First, you need to decide on the characteristics that are important to you. This will help you avoid overpaying for unnecessary options. For example, if you have high humidity in your home, you don’t need a humidifier.
Next — find out the area of the room for which you are buying the device. Usually, manufacturers indicate the recommended service area. However, if the room has many sources of pollution (e.g., pets, carpets, and objects that accumulate dust) or if you are prone to allergies, it is better to choose equipment with more power and different degrees of air purification.
When selecting a climate control system, it is also important to consider such criteria as performance, size, energy efficiency, noise level, remote control, etc.
Important technical characteristics of climate control systems
- The air purification capacity (CADR) — indicates the volume of air purified per unit of time, measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/h). Approximately, the device should completely remove 2-3 volumes of room air per hour.
- Noise level — an important parameter for comfort, measured in decibels (dB). The optimal level is up to 40 dB for night mode.
- Water tank capacity — For humidifiers, it is important to have a large water tank to reduce the frequency of refilling. The optimal humidity in the room should be between 30% and 65%.
- Power — indicates the energy efficiency of the device, measured in watts (W).
- Filters — the types and number of filters determine the quality of air purification. Main types: HEPA, carbon, photocatalytic.
- Additional functions such as automatic mode, air quality sensors, Wi-Fi control, intelligent system, ionization, ozonation, UV lamp can significantly increase the convenience of use.
