🌬️ Does an air purifier make the air dry?

　　This is a question that many users often ask in winter or after using air purifiers for a long time: "Does the air purifier make the room dry?"

　　The answer is: Generally not.

　　The air purifier itself does not increase or decrease the humidity of the air. Its main function is to filter out pollutants such as particulate matter, bacteria, and odors in the air. It does not have dehumidification or humidification functions.

　　🔍 Why do people feel that air purifiers make the air dry?

　　Although the air purifier itself does not change the humidity, you may have a "dry feeling" for the following reasons:

　　1. Seasonal dryness or heating system

　　In winter, it is already dry, and the use of heating or air conditioning will reduce the humidity. People may mistakenly attribute the dryness to air purifiers.

　　2. Air flow increases moisture evaporation

　　Air purifiers speed up indoor air circulation, which may cause skin moisture to evaporate faster, resulting in a "dry" feeling.

　　3. Long-term closed environment

　　The room is closed and poorly ventilated. When the air purifier is running continuously, the humidity may gradually decrease, especially when there is no humidification equipment.

　　✅ How to solve the problem of dry air when using an air purifier?

　　1. Use with a humidifier

　　In the dry season, it is recommended to use a humidifier to keep the humidity between 40% and 60%, which is the ideal comfortable range.

　　2. Choose an air purifier with humidification function

　　Some models have the HDL963 "purification + humidification" dual-function design with a water washing function, which is especially suitable for use in northern winter or air-conditioned environments.

　　3. Place indoor green plants and water basins

　　Natural evaporation can also improve humidity, but the effect is slow and is suitable as an auxiliary means.

　　🛒 Which air purifiers are not recommended for long-term use in a closed and dry environment?

　　Air purifiers with dehumidification function (such as a few models with desiccant modules)

　　Products that run continuously at high wind speed without humidity adjustment function

　　Models that do not clean the filter regularly (dust accumulation will affect the air volume, indirectly affecting air circulation and humidity)

　　📊 Air purifier vs. humidity: truth comparison

　　Function Air purifier performance Does it affect humidity

　　Filter PM2.5 ✅ High efficiency ❌ No effect

　　Remove formaldehyde/odor ✅ Effective ❌ No effect

　　Increase humidity ❌ No function 🚫 Cannot humidify

　　Make the air dry ❌ It will not happen by itself ⚠️ Indirect feeling may exist

　　🙋♀️ FAQ

　　Q1: I feel my skin becomes dry after using an air purifier. Is it a problem with the device?

　　Usually it is because the humidity of the environment itself is low. It is recommended to use a hygrometer to test it. The best effect is to use a humidifier.

　　Q2: Can an air purifier replace a humidifier?

　　No. The two functions are completely different. Air purifiers clean the air, and humidifiers adjust the humidity.

　　Q3: Is a humidifying air purifier worth buying?

　　If you live in a dry area (such as the north, a city with winter heating), a humidifying air purifier is a cost-effective choice, but you need to pay attention to the cleanliness of the water tank to prevent bacteria from growing.
