Plasmacluster Ions inactivate airborne mold spores and reduce mold odours
Plasmacluster Ions quickly surround then inactivate airborne mold spores. They also reduce mold odours caused by propagation of mold. Plasmacluster Ion technology is effective against cigarette smoke* that contains nitrogen oxide (NO), styrene and acetic acid. * Toxic substances found in smoke, such as carbon monoxide, cannot be removed.

IMode of operation: Plasmacluster Ion generator single operation in an experimental room approximately 5.0 square meters. ITemperature inside the room: 25C, Humidity: 42% RH. IMethod of measurement: Air samples measuring the quantity of mold spores were taken from inside the room at a point approx. 1.3 m above the floor and 2.0 m from the outlet. IInactivation method: Without filter, generate Plasmacluster Ions in the air. ITest performed by the Ishikawa Prefecture Preventive Medicine Association in Japan.

Plasmacluster Ions control the ion balance
On completion of air purification, Sharp's Plasmacluster Ion technology provides an ion balance control mode to increase the rate at which negative ions are generated. In contrast to the natural environment in which there are positive and negative ions in almost the same proportion, the number of negative ions is decreased in the city. Ion balance control feature serves to adjust the balance of positive and negative ions to the natural ideal, an essential condition that is easily collapsed.
Sharps air purifier doubles the effectivity by combining Plasmacluster Ions with filters

Some toxic substances contained in tobacco smoke, such as carbon monoxide can not be removed. The illustration is an artist's compression; the anti-bacteria filter and HEPA filter are actually combined into a single unit.
The Plasmacluster Ion louver makes it possible to manually direct airflow in the desired direction for more effective dispersion of Plasmacluster Ions.
Plasmacluster Ions (dual generating units) Bacteriostatic filter multiplies the effectiveness of purification with Plasmacluster Ions. Twin fans give high air-flow of 8 m3/min. Superior quiet operation of 14 dB (when operated in quiet mode) Top-class energy-efficient inverter operation using a DC motor 24-hour arbitrary ON/OFF with 3 settings (time, airflow, ion) Double sensors (odour and dust)

Best energy efficiency

(FU-60SE and FU-40SE only)
Noise level of only 15 dB* despite high air volume (FU-60SE only, operating in quiet mode)
Sharp achieved a top-class noise level, 15 dB when operating in the quiet mode. (This is quiet enough not to disturb your sleep.) You can leave the air purifier on during a baby's nap time, for example.
* When operating in quiet mode. Operating noise when operating in high mode (air volume 3.7 m3/minute) is 40 dB. The decibel (dB) is a unit used to express the power or intensity of electricity or sound. Originally an electrical term, it is now used even more commonly than phone as a unit of acoustic intensity.

Sharp's air purifiers employ a DC motor and highly efficient inverter control to permit operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are designed to provide energy savings even when left running over a long period of time.

ITest method: One pass test, where a Plasmacluster Ion generator is placed in a cylindrical chamber (diameter: 5.5 cm, length: 20 cm) through which airborne viruses (approx. 2,000 pts per 300 L of air) are passed at the speed of approx. 4 m/sec and the inactivation rate is measured. This is then compared with the residual rate of viruses detected in the chamber without a Plasmacluster Ion generator in place. ITested viruses: Natural airborne viruses. IInactivation method: Generate Plasmacluster Ions (200,000/cm3) in the chamber. ITest performed by the Kitasato Research Center of Environmental Sciences in Japan.

Sharp's exclusive and highly esteemed Plasmacluster Ion technology introduced a new effect to inactivate airborne viruses that cause a health hazard every year. Plasmacluster Ions are now becoming accepted throughout the world as an indispensable air-conditioning function that can contribute to a healthy life.
Plasmacluster Ion Generator
Conventional air purification systems filter air through the unit itself, which is not only a time-consuming process but also results in sections of the room being left unpurified. Sharp's exclusive Plasmacluster Ion technology, in contrast, releases Plasmacluster Ions throughout the entire room, cleaning all of the air quickly and effectively.
