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.
