How Do Vacuums Work?




The vacuum cleaner is a common appliance that most of us use without ever thinking of how the appliance works, even though the machine, as we know it today, is the result of extensive engineering work and innovation. If you would like to know how these humble machines deliver the power that cleans your carpets and upholstery, here is how vacuums do their job.

What vacuums actually do when they suck up debris is to create negative pressure that lifts up the dirt from the surface on which you run your vacuum head and that transports the lifted particles to a container or a bag. The negative pressure is created by an electric motor that moves a fan which sucks in air and transfers that air, along with the particles in it, through a hose to the container. To be able to work continuously, the machine also needs a way to evacuate the air that has been sucked in, that’s why vacuum cleaners have exhaust ports through which the air that has been relieved of the dirt particles is evacuated. The process of removing the dirt from the sucked-in air is handled by filters, many modern vacuum cleaners being equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air filters that trap even the tiniest particles of dirt and allergens that enter the machine with the aspirated air.

If your vacuum is not performing at it's best, and sucking up the dirt as it once did, it is time to search for a vacuum store near me in Broomfield to have your vacuum serviced.
