Zusammenfassung:The air purifier is provided with a housing having an air intake port and an exhaust port, a filter unit including a photocatalytic filter and housed in a unit housing section within the housing, a light source that irradiates the photocatalytic filter with light, an air blowing fan that generates an air flow passing through the unit housing section, and a contamination sensor provided between the photocatalytic filter and the air blowing fan. In a case where a controller determines that organic substances excessively adheres to the photocatalytic filter on the basis of detection values of the contamination sensor, it drives the light source at the maximum light quantity and drives the air blowing fan at the minimum air speed to refresh the photocatalytic filter.
