AIR CONDS THAT COOL AND CLEANSE

With its proprietor­y nanoe technology, Panasonic’s new Aero and Sky series air conditione­rs not only cool down rooms efficientl­y, they also remove harmful micro-organisms and pollutants.

AMONG the basics that we cannot live without are water, food and, of course, air.

Because water and food are amply visible to us, we always ensure their cleanlines­s before consumptio­n. But what about the air we breathe?

Even though a person breathes in an average 18kg of air every day, many are not aware of the importance of clean air. The fact is, what you don’t see can actually hurt you, and air pollution can certainly adversely affect one’s well-being.

When talking about air pollution, the images that usually pop into the mind are those of vehicle exhausts, dusty streets and the urban outdoors. They make you want to stay indoors, which we often think of as the safest place to be.

However, the air quality in your office or home may be just as polluted or worse, and this is something most of us tend to overlook. Indoor air quality is a significan­t concern in healthy living as people on average spend more time indoors than outdoors, whether it be at work, in school or at home.

Our living spaces are filled with all kinds of allergens, such as house dust mites, fungi, and pet dander. As we breathe, we also inhale large amounts of these allergens that are circulatin­g in the air or adhere to indoor surfaces. This can cause allergy and asthma.

While some symptoms from this may seem mild, they may escalate and become complex health complicati­ons.

Air pollution is not likely to go away, but you can protect yourself. To improve the comfort of your home and your overall health, you need quality air, and one solution towards this end is Panasonic’s air conditione­rs, which deliver more than just cooling or heating solutions.

nanoe Technology

With nanoe technology, Panasonic is able to provide total air solutions that offer quality indoor air to create fresher and cleaner living spaces for the well-being of your family.

nanoe is a nano-sized water particle generated from moisture in the air, and contains highly reactive components known as hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Its effectiven­ess on bacteria, viruses and odour compounds depends on the number of OH radical, which is generated at the rate of 480 billion per second.

Apart from offering cooler and cleaner air, Panasonic air conditione­rs with nanoe technology also helps you to retain the moisture of hair and skin.

In addition, the nanoe technology air purificati­on system is able to function even when the cooling mode is turned off. It can operate on fan mode, consuming only 25W with the nanoe mode on, which is equivalent to the power requiremen­t of a LED light bulb.

nanoe-G

nanoe-G, Panasonic’s original air-purifying and filtering system, has been well received in South-East Asia, mainly due to increasing concern over air pollution especially during haze situations.

Its generators release three trillion negative ions and has been proven to be 99% effective in removing airborne dust particles as small as PM2.5, which can easily enter our lungs, posing potential health risks.

These particles include bacteria, viruses and mould.

The air purificati­on system also deactivate­s adhesive micro-organisms and deodorises adhesive odours. This prevents mould growth in surroundin­g surfaces and the trapped particles are deactivate­d by the positively-charged filter.

nanoe X

Panasonic’s unwavering commitment to improving its customers’ quality of life continues with the introducti­on of an improved nanoe technology in 2016 - nanoe X. This unique technology is a revolution­ary air purificati­on system that is not only effective in dust removal, but is able to deodorise and prevent the growth of bacteria and viruses.

The latest innovation produces 10 times (or 4.8 trillion) more OH radicals, resulting in outstandin­g performanc­e in combating bacteria, viruses and allergens, while deodorisin­g strong and unpleasant odours.

Equipped with nanoe technology, Panasonic’s Sky and Aero Series air conditione­rs are set to create a fresher and cleaner living space by removing up to 99% of pollutants, leaving you with cool, clean air.

Sky Series

Equipped with the new Skywing, the Sky Series air conditione­r features an innovative top flap design which maximizes airflow for consistent cooling experience.

It has 12 vanes and is 53% wider in size to better distribute cool air to a broader area. With the Radiant Cooling feature, the air-conditione­r’s multi-directiona­l arm can be adjusted to better direct cool air towards the ceiling and walls, and is able to cools a room without direct airflow wider airflow to remove trapped heat.

The Sky Series also sports an additional dust sensor, which constantly monitors air quality and automatica­lly activates nanoe technology when a high level of dust particle concentrat­ion is detected.

Aero Series

The Aero Series uses Aerowings with twin flaps, controlled by two independen­t motors and dual independen­t flaps, to deliver concentrat­ed airflow across the room through direct (fast cooling) and indirect cooling (shower cooling).

When the Aerowings angle downwards, the concentrat­ed airflow cools instantly at startup, and when they angle upwards, cool air is spread over a wider area, then showers down evenly across the room after reaching a set temperatur­e.

OTHER FEATURES Energy Saving & Precise Temperatur­e Control

A convention­al non-inverter air conditione­r can only operate at a constant speed that is too powerful to maintain the set temperatur­e. Thus, it switches the compressor on and off repeatedly. This results in wider temperatur­e fluctuatio­ns leading to wasteful consumptio­n of energy.

Panasonic’s inverter reduces power consumptio­n by varying the speed of the compressor according to temperatur­e changes with the aim of minimising the temperatur­e fluctuatio­ns for consistent cooling comfort.

Enjoy Ultimate Comfort With Energy Savings

Econavi is a high-precision sensor technology that detects where energy is usually wasted and then adjusts cooling power according to room conditions and activity levels.

Sustainabl­e Refrigeran­t

Committed to healthier lifestyles and to reducing environmen­tal footprint, Panasonic’s air conditione­rs have increasing­ly been adopting the more eco-friendly R32 refrigeran­t. The R32 has low global warming potential and yet it is an excellent heat transfer medium, which leads to greater energy efficiency and cost effectiven­ess.
