For over two decades, Sharp has developed its plasmacluster ion and unique airflow technology to ensure we have good indoor air quality, an important part of living in a healthy home. Clean air guards your family against two common health problems: allergy and asthma. People are also beginning to appreciate the importance of cleaner air because of the dangers of airborne viruses.
With this in mind, Sharp Corporation and Kyoto Institute of Technology associate professor Masashi Yamakawa, an expert in the analysis of airborne virus droplets, conducted a study demonstrating how plasmacluster ions and airflow technology effectively collect airborne particles. Their study confirmed that an air purifier with plasmacluster ions works much better than conventional air purifiers.
A simulation compared a conventional air purifier that sends air directly above the product with a Sharp air purifier with their proprietary 20° angled rear-directed airflow. In addition, analysis and comparison using an air conditioner equipped with a general filter with high air pass-through efficiency were also performed.
The general air purifier releases a direct upward flow that causes the virus droplets to diffuse in several directions. On the other hand, the Sharp air purifier circulates the air, so virus particles are effectively captured without being dispersed in space.
This is also observed in the Sharp air conditioner with its proprietary airflow technology. In a regular air conditioner, the airborne virus droplets are carried on air currents and drawn into the air conditioner. These droplets are not captured but are re-circulated with the air flowing from the AC unit.
With a Sharp air conditioner, the air is blown upward. When an air purifier is placed directly underneath, an airflow is created that quickly circulates around the room in a process that effectively captures airborne virus droplets.
Sharp has been working toward achieving comfortable indoor air environments using Plasma cluster and airflow technologies for over two decades. Their expertise is found in Sharp products that are equipped with these advancements.
Here are the latest models with Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Technology:
Sharp FP-J50P-H Air Purifier
If you’re living in a small condo or house, this is an excellent companion for fresher air. It can cover a 40sqm area with its high-density PCI generator and fan. No need to worry about high electricity bills because it comes with an inverter operation. It is AIoT-enabled with a Smart Operation function that can be controlled on your smartphone. Most importantly, plasmacluster ion technology using positive and negative ions deactivates airborne allergens, viruses, and pollutants.
Sharp Plasmacluster Ion Electric Fans
As we’re living in a tropical country, electric fans are necessary for every household. Sharp is leveling up the electric fan by equipping it with plasmacluster ion technology to fight off germs, molds, allergens, and viruses. These models also feature an anti-overheat motor to allow long hours of usage while ensuring consumer safety. Other features are 160-degrees rotation action and a three-speed setting. Lastly, the Sharp Plasma cluster Ion Electric Fan comes in three different models — Stand Fan, Desk Fan, and Wall Fan.
