Abstract: An air purifying operation is performed with a consideration for an influence of a purifying material on a person, and user's comfort and efficiency of the air purifying operation are both achieved. An air purifier includes a casing, an inlet, outlets, blowers, a decontamination unit, air ducts, movable louvers, a horizontal rotation mechanism, an ozone generation mechanism, human detection means, a control unit, or the like. The control unit detects whether or not there is a person in a room by the human detection means. Then, the control unit controls at least one of parameters including an ozone generation amount, a wind direction, an amount, and a speed of blown-out air based on the human detection result. Thus, if there is a person in the room, for example, a human avoiding operation, a human area operation, or the like can be performed. If there is no person, an indoor air purifying operation for uniformly purifying air throughout the room can be performed.

Abstract: An air purifier capable of reducing time required for purification of a room without giving a feeling of discomfort to a human in the room is provided. During operation of an air purifier 1, air drawn from an inlet 3 into a casing 2 is purified by a purification device 7 and the air is blown to the outside from an outlet 4. If a user of the air purifier 1 selects a particular operation mode in which the user designates an air volume, a control device 12 performs air volume maintaining control. In the air volume maintaining control, with a volume of air blown out from the outlet 4 by the air blowing device 5 maintained constant, a speed of the air is varied by an air guiding device 8 based on a status of pollutant detection. Alternatively, the speed of the air is varied by the air guiding device 8 and the volume of the air is varied by the air blowing device 5.

The deodorizing means includes, on a carrier, an adsorbent that does not oxidatively decompose an adsorbed material, a catalyst component that oxidatively decomposes the adsorbed material, and a rate of conversion of alcohol into acetic acid by the catalyst component is 15% or less on average across the entire deodorizing means.
