Most people use their vacuum cleaners on a regular basis, but have little knowledge as to how vacuum cleaners work to clean your carpets. This guide will teach you how a vacuum cleaner works from the time you turn it on, to the time your home is clean.

The vacuum cleaner generates a stream of air that is similar to a water stream. The air particles move against loosened debris or dust, which has been loosened up by a device inside your vacuum that helps remove debris from in between carpet fibers. If the particles are light enough, friction will carry them inside the vacuum. If they are too heavy or large, the vacuum will not be able to suck them in.

Once the particles of debris are inside your vacuum, they will be transferred through an exhaust port until they reach inside your vacuum cleaner bag. These bags have small holes that air and only air can pass through, which means that all the dust and debris collected will remain in the vacuum bag while air leaves it.

How Vacuum Cleaners Work - The Technology Involved

The reason the vacuum works so well is because of its suction power. Many factors produce the suction power your vacuum relies on upon when cleaning. The first of these is fan power inside your vacuum, which can normally be adjusted to change the level of suction strength the vacuum gives off. For suction to be strong, the motor and fan have to be running at high speed.

The vacuum suction also depends on the air passageway. As dust and particles accumulate inside your vacuum cleaner bag, it becomes harder for air to leave it because it faces higher resistance from the debris. This is why it is important to change your vacuum bags frequently rather than waiting until they are full.

Typically most vacuums that you see on the market will have components that include a motor, fans, input port, output port, garbage collection areas or bags, filters, belts, and more. There are also extra parts that can be used in the cleaning process such as brushes, hose extenders, hose attachments, wand vacuum rollers, and many others. All of these items help add a little convenience to your vacuuming experience.

The many different parts of the vacuum cleaner work together to create the whole suction and storage process. This allows you to pick up dirt and debris from different types of flooring surfaces. When the vacuum is turned on, the motor kicks on and turns the fan within the vacuum. This forces air out of the exit or exhaust port, which creates a pulling or such effect within the tubes and compartments leading up to the location of the fan. This pulling effect is what pulls in dirt and debris that is being swept up by rollers. Once the dirt and debris pass a certain point within the vacuum, it is deposited into a storage compartment or a waste bag where it can be stored until it is removed later.

To Summarize

It is essential to understand how vacuum cleaners work if you ever need to repair it. Technology has help create vacuums with different cleaning levels, so it can efficiently clean your home each time it’s used.
