Breathe in cleaner and healthier air
A DANGEROUS component of air pollution is fine particulate matter, or PM 2.5. Less than 2.5 microns, which is 20 to 30 times smaller than the diameter of human hair, these particles are fine enough to lodge deeply in the lungs through inhalation and are said to pose the greatest health risk.
Another major pollutant found in the air is Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can be odourless and may have short and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors than outdoors.
Clean and healthy air should be a priority in our daily lives. Maintenance of indoor air quality can be achieved with an air purifier. An established brand in this category is Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier – a pioneer in this field since 2000. What makes Sharp different is its exclusive patented Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) Technology and unique three-step dust collection system.
Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifier Sharp’s PCI technology mechanism disperses positive hydrogen (H+) and negative oxygen (O-) ions into the air simultaneously. These ions are abundant in the natural environment and completely harmless to humans.
They deactivate airborne contaminants by attaching to them while extracting a hydrogen compound to break down the protein membrane, resulting in water (H20) molecules, which are returned to the air.
Apart from suppressing airborne virus and bacteria, PCI also functions to suppress airborne and proliferating mould, unpleasant odour and allergens such as dust mites and its faeces.
Sharp’s unique three-step dust collection system works with PCI to ensure thorough removal of contaminants in the room.
PCI neutralises static electricity with its positive and negative ions to prevent dust from binding to surfaces, which is then removed through Sharp’s unique airflow system.
Dirty air is drawn into the air purifier from the back suction panel while clean air is released from the outlet at a 20° angle and carried along the ceiling to every part of the room. This ensures faster air circulation and efficient airflow throughout the room, enabling remarkably quick removal of dust and particles even from far corners.
Another important factor to achieve clean air is filtering contaminated air through a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter to trap microscopic particles. This high performance filter can trap 99.97% of particles of 0.3 microns, which are eight times smaller than PM2.5.
To top it all off, Sharp’s air purifier comes with Haze mode. By activating this, the unit will run at its maximum airflow for the first 10 minutes and subsequently switch to high airflow for the next 50 minutes.
A high density of Plasmacluster ions will be dispersed into the entire room, which reduces static electricity, making it easy to capture haze particles. After an hour, the unit will continue to operate alternately between normal and high airflow for every 20 minutes.
As part of the success of Sharp Plasmacluster technology, Sharp has adopted the concept of “academic marketing” by collaborating with independent scientific research organisations worldwide to study the efficacy of PCI. In Malaysia, Sharp collaborated with University Putra Malaysia (UPM) in 2014 on the world’s first study on the effectiveness of Sharp’s PCI and Air Purifying Technology in Combating Haze.
The result successfully demonstrated that the air treatment technologies employed in Sharp air purifiers could provide excellent protection from haze.
With the commitment that Sharp has in providing a better solution for cleaner and healthier air, expect further development and application of air purifying technology from Sharp’s PCI technology.
