Sep 4, The Essential Vacuum Cleaner

Sun, 04 Sep 2011 07:45:34 GMT

The vacuum cleaner is a truly amazing piece of equipment, as it would be very hard to cope without one. There are many people out there who prefer domestic vacuum cleaners for carpeted floors in their home. No matter how you look at it, the vacuum cleaner is an ingenious piece of equipment. It has an air pump that creates a partial vacuum to suck up the dust and dirt, which it collects by a filtering system or a cyclone to dispose of later. Vacuum cleaner types Based on their configurations, there are many types of vacuum cleans. The following are some of the most known types of vacuum cleaners. Bagless Bagless vacuum cleaners, as the name implies, don't use bags. They collect the dust in a compartment which you can quickly and easily empty. This will save you from the headache of dealing with messy and frustrating vacuum bags. Upright Upright vacuum cleaners have the pump mounted directly above the suction intake, with the bag mounted on the handle that will normally rise to waist height. The designs of upright vacuum cleaners will normally employ mechanical beaters, which are often rotating brushes, to help dust that has yet to settle be vacuumed up. An attached belt to the vacuum motor will drive these beaters. Canister types Canister vacuum cleaners have the motor and the bag in a separate cylinder unit that is connected to the vacuum head by a long flexible hose. Even though the upright units have been tested as being more effective, the lighter and more maneuverable heads of the canister are also popular. There are some canister models on the market that feature power heads which contain the same type of beaters as found with upright units, even though those types of beaters are driven by a seperate electric motor. Backpack Backpack vacuums are a great tool for commercial type cleaning. Backpack vacuums will allow you to move around rapidly in a large area. It is basically a canister vacuum cleaner, except for the fact that the straps are used to carry the canister unit on your back. Central vacuum A central or built in vacuum cleaner has the suction motor and bag based in a central location of the building, providing vacuum inlets at strategic places throughout the building. This way, you only need to carry the hose and pickup head from room to room. The hose is normally 25 foot long, allowing a large range of movement without having to change vacuum inlets. A plastic pipe will connect the vacuum outlets to the central unit. The head of the vacuum may either by un-powered or have beaters that are operated by an air driven or electric motor. The dirt bags in central systems are so big that you only need to change or empty them once or twice a year.

Jun 2, How Vacuum Cleaners Work

Thu, 02 Jun 2011 18:33:32 GMT

Even though it may appear to be a very complicated machine, the conventional vacuum cleaner is actually made up of six essential components: intake port, exhaust port, electric motor, fan, porous bag, and a housing that stores all of the other components. When you plug the vacuum cleaner into the outlet and turn it on, the following happens: 1. First of all, the electric current will operate the motor, which is attached to the fan, which resembles an airplane propeller. 2. As the blades begin to turn, they will force the air upwards, towards the exhaust port. 3. When the air particles are driven forwards, the density of the particles will increase in front of the fan and therefore decrease behind it. The pressure drop that occurs behind the fan is similar to the pressure drop when you take a drink through a straw. The pressure level in the area that is behind the fan will drop below the pressure level that is outside of the vacuum cleaner. This will create a suction inside of the vacuum cleaner. The ambient air will push itself into the vacuum cleaner through the intake port because the air pressure that is inside of the vacuum cleaner is much lower than the pressure on the outside. Picking the dirt up The stream of air that the vacuum generates is just like a stream of water. The air particles that move will rub against any loose dust or debris and if it is light enough, the friction will carry the material around the inside of the vacuum cleaner. As the dirt continues on to the exhaust port, it will pass through the cleaner bag. They tiny holes in the vacuum cleaner bag are large enough to let the air pass through, although too small for the dust particles to fit through. Therefore, when the air current gets into the bag, the dirt and debris will be collected there. You can stick the bag anywhere along the path between the intake tube and the exhaust port, just as long as the air current passes through. Suction The power of a vacuum cleaner's suction will depend on several factors. The suction can be stronger or weaker depending on: 1. Fan power - In order to generate a strong suction, the motor needs to turn at a good speed. 2. Air passageway - When a lot of debris builds up in the bag, the air will face a greater level of resistance on the way out. Each particle of air will move slowly due to the increase in drag. This is the reason why a vacuum cleaner works much better once you've replaced the bag than when you have been using it for a while. 3. Size of the intake port - With the speed of the vacuum fan being constant, the amount of air that passes through the vacuum cleaner per second is also constant.

May 24, Vacuum Cleaner Bags

Tue, 24 May 2011 16:20:19 GMT

Everything that a vacuum picks up, no matter what type it may be, needs to be deposited somewhere - normally in a vacuum cleaner bag. Back in 1920, the Air Way Sanitizer Company of Ohio introduced the first vacuum cleaner with a disposable vacuum bag. Until that time, the bags for vacuum cleaners resembled the type of bags that golfers used to carry their clubs. They were somewhat heavy and awkard devices made out of thick, stiff canvas, designed to be very flexible and still keep dust and debris from the carpets from escaping out into the air. The improvements made by the Air Way Sanitizer disposable vacuum bag went a long way toward improving the effectiveness of the vacuum cleaner. Made out of paper, the bag was designed to fit inside of the cloth bag. Not only did it make cleaning the vacuum easier, but it also kept the insides of the stationary bag clean at all times so that less of the dust and debris could be blown out of the vacuum and make its way through the home again. In the beginning, each manufacturer designed their own disposable vacuum cleaner bag made out of different types of paper. You couldn't interchange the bags from one machine to the next, as the fittings were different sizes with different configurations for the opening of the intake. Manufacturers who were once very dependant on the sales of their machines had now discovered an entirely new territory for the disposable bags, and once again sales went through the roof. Before, a housewife had her vacuum cleaner and the only thing it needed was to be cleaned and serviced every now and then. If the man of the house was around, the job normally went to him. After a while, repair shops that specialized in vacuum cleaners began to pop up all over the place. These days, there are very few vacuum cleaners that use bags. Bagless is the way to go these days, and for good reason. What was once a revolution in household cleaning, is now rapidly fading away and fast. Models such as the Cyclone or Dirt Devil, are now using cylinder technology to store the dirt and dust. When you have finished vacuuming, you simply empty the cylinder into the trash. Vacuum bags can be very frustrating, which is why millions of people are using bagless vacuums. If you own a vacuum cleaner that uses bags, you should look into upgrading it. Bagless vacuums will save you time, money, and replacement. If you've grown tired of the bags, now is the time to get a better vacuum. Not only do the bagless models have more power, but they will also save you quite a few trips to the store and the closet. They don't cost a lot of money either, and they are the perfect addition to any household.

May 10, Flashy Vacuum Cleaners

Tue, 10 May 2011 16:22:19 GMT

With most people, a vacuum cleaner isn't really an inspiring machine. If you don't care about how it works, then you probably don't want to vacuum to start with. At the same time, no one wants to live in a pig sty or dirty home even. These days however, things have began to change for the better, and people's attitudes are changing as well. Vacuum cleaners are becoming interesting and it's all thanks to James Dyson, the inventor of the Dyson vacuum cleaner. All thanks to Dyson, vacuum cleaners have taken on a personality and life of their own. These very same tactics are even employed by the likes of Apple to successfully ploy their iMacs and iPods to the masses have now been used with tremendous results with vacuum cleaners. Now, let's take a look at the decision that faces you when buying a flashy vacuum cleaner. First of all, you have the choice between the upright or canister versions. The upright style of vacuum cleaners will require you to use them in the traditional push and pull fashion, although the latest vacuum from Tyson, the DC15, has even turned this technology on its head with "Ball Technology" that will let you glide around your home with the greatest of ease - in any direction you please. Canister vacuum cleaners on the other hand come with a hose attachment for great control and flexibility, as you can quickly and easily get to all of the hard to reach places. There isn't really a lot of difference between the two, and it's mainly down to your personal preference, even though the upright vacuum is best suited to larger carpets. You should also consider the power of the motor and efficiency of the filtration system as well. Those that suffer from allergies will want to pay close attention to the filtration. Dyson for one has been very successful by marketing the benefits of its patented "Cyclone" technology, which doesn't use a bag nor does it ever get clogged up. If you feeling really daring and adventurous and want to stay ahead of the curve, you could go for one of the very popular robotic vacuum cleaners such as the ZA01 from Electrolux or the cheaper iRobot from Roomba. While you amuse yourself or do other things, the robot will move around your home on it's own will, vacuuming your entire home until it is spotless. The robot even has the technology and intelligence to return to the base when it is running low on battery power and recharge itself. If you want to be different and unique, a flashy vacuum cleaner is the way to go. There are many different models and types to choose from, from cheap vacuums to those that cost hundreds of dollars. All you have to do is meet your creative side halfway and let the fun begin!
