Provided is an air purifier that efficiently restores the capacity of a deodorizing element to adsorbs odors. Said air purifier is provided with the following: a case in which an intake and outlet are formed, said case having an air passage that connects said intake and outlet a fan means that is built into the case and introduces room air into the aforementioned air passage a deodorizing element, provided in the air passage, through which air can pass a heating unit that locally heats said deodorizing element a frame in which the deodorizing element and heating unit are provided a position-change means that changes the positional relationship between the heating unit and the deodorizing element and a control means that controls the fan means, the heating unit, and the position-change means. The deodorizing element has the ability to recover its deodorizing capacity when heated by the heating unit and is rotatably attached to the abovementioned frame. The heating unit is affixed to the frame so as to face the deodorizing element. A cover that covers the heating unit is provided on the opposing side of the heating unit with the deodorizing element interposed therebetween.La présente invention concerne un purificateur dair qui restaure efficacement la capacité dun élément désodorisant à adsorber les odeurs. Ledit purificateur dair comprend les éléments suivants : un boîtier dans lequel sont formés un orifice dentrée et un orifice de sortie, ledit boitier ayant un passage dair qui connecte ledit orifice dentrée et ledit orifice de sortie un moyen formant ventilateur qui est construit dans le boîtier et qui introduit de lair à température ambiante dans le passage dair susmentionné un élément désodorisant, fourni dans le passage dair, à travers lequel lair peut passer une unité chauffante qui chauffe localement ledit élément désodorisant un cadre dans lequel lélément désodorisant et lunité chauffante sont fournis un moyen de changement de position qui change la rela
