- What is the working principle of vacuum cleaner?
Introduction
Vacuum cleaners basically cleans the surface from dust, pet hairs and other small particles. These usually clean all type of surfaces such as floor, walls, stairs, upholstery and many more.
Working
The working principle of vacuum cleaner is the suction through which cleaning is done. This suction is created by the motors present inside the vacuum cleaners. The suction is created in different ways.
In normal vacuum cleaner, the dirt and other items are initially swept through cleaning head by rotating brushes followed by simple suction generated with the help of motor.
In another type known as cyclone vacuum cleaner, suction is created by a cyclone of air with high speed motors. This sucks the dust and other material. The dust and other debris are moved upward from surface due to vortex caused by cyclone and collected in collection box or chamber.
