Breathe Easy with Sharp Plasmacluster Air Purifiers

Natural Breathable AirAsthma and allergy sufferers understand the importance of clean air. Animal dander, pollen and many other airborne contaminants cause and exacerbate allergies, particularly in the home. With more of our time spent indoors, reducing these substances from the air around us is important because they can impact upon our wellbeing. Sharp’s Air Purifiers use Plasmacluster technology to help inactivate harmful airborne substances and make our living environment cleaner and healthier.

Sharp’s range of Plasmacluster Air Purifiers help to provide a quick and powerful cleansing effect for an entire room, by removing or deactivating a range of airborne allergens and other substances providing clean, safe air quality in the home.

The effectiveness of Plasmacluster Ions is being proven worldwideProven at 13 Institutions in Japan and around the world. Validation data for Plasmacluster Ion generating devices have been gathered by the institutions referred to below*.

GLP* compliant test facilities have gathered safety data on Sharp’s Plasmacluster technology after testing for;

Plasmacluster TechnologySharp Air Purifiers contain a Plasmacluster Ion generator that releases positive and negative ions into the air. The Plasmacluster Ions diffuse through the room, surrounding airborne allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses, converting hydrogen molecules in their surface proteins into water.

Plasmacluster Ions: * Reduce suspended allergens and floating mould spores

with positive and negative ions Plasmacluster Ions are helpful in deactivating allergens caused by dust mites and in deactivating mould spores that can cause mildew in the home. Sharp Air Purifiers help to improve the quality of the air you breathe.

• Reduce suspended viruses with positive and negative ions Plasmacluster Ions break down and remove projecting spike-shaped proteins of suspended viruses such as influenza, reducing their effects.

• Neutralise odour-causing molecules with positive and negative ions Plasmacluster Ion technology helps reduce the source of a wide range of unpleasant household odours including cooking, pets, garbage and cigarette smoke odours.

• Freshen the air with negative ions Using negative ions, Sharp Air Purifiers help to clean and

refresh the air. The release of negative ions creates a “feel good” atmosphere similar to naturally occurring environments like a rainforest or near a waterfall.

Major advantages of Plasmacluster Ions:+ - Deactivates airborne allergens, bacteria, mould spores

and viruses.

+ - Reduces unpleasant odours at molecule level.

- Refreshes the air by replenishing it with negative ions.

Plasmacluster Ions are similar to positive and negative ions found in nature. The ions are surrounded by water molecules, and are released into the air.

The ions form hydroxide (OH) radicals that are highly oxidising when they adhere to the surfaces of airborne microbes like suspended allergens, bacteria, mould and viruses. They remove hydrogen from the surface proteins, breaking them down.

The hydroxide (OH) radicals combine with hydrogen (H) to form water (H2O) which returns to the air.

Sharp Air Purifiers with HumidifierPowerful suction collects dust and particles from all directions

Sharp’s unique airflow technology1. Fast operation The new long collection nozzle provides efficient airflow.

2. Smooth airflow guide design Guides collect airborne dust smoothly into the back suction panel.

3. Powerful Suction Dust drawn in from the room is collected through the large surface area of the entire back of the unit.

4. Plasmacluster shower operation Aerodynamic Plasmacluster dispersion directs airflow backwards at a 20-degree angle as well as forwards for rapid air purification. This delivers up to 1.5 times higher density of Plasmacluster ions when dispersed into a room for 60 minutes.

Rotating humidifying filterThe unit senses the humidity level in the room. When the room becomes dry the filter rotates, picking up water from the tank and releasing moisture into the air. When the humidity reaches the desired level the filter is removed from the water and dried by the airflow to prevent mould growth.

Three stage anti-microbial2 HEPA3 filters collect airborne dust and odours 1. Micron Mesh Pre-filter –

captures microscopic dust particles as small as 500 microns.

2. Washable Deodorising filter – Removes odours,

3. Micron HEPA Dust Filter – removes micron size dust particles and 0.3 micron dust allergens4 and viruses5

Unique airflow circulation

Sharp Air PurifiersFUY30JWBreathe easy with the benefits of Plasmacluster Ion technology and innovative two-in-one filtration system.

Filtration systemFUY30JW is a Total Air Purification system combining a revolutionary Plasmacluster Ion technology with traditional filter based air purification. Newly developed two-in-one air filter joins benefits of a HEPA*1 and an Active Carbon filter in one simple and cost effective solution. The Mesh pre-filter helps prevent dust and dirt particles from clogging the main filter ensuring its long use.

Sharp’s Efficient and Powerful Airflow and Air Circulation Enable Quick Dust RemovalIt takes approximately 20 minutes to clean a room of 21m² size at Maximum fan speed. A long and wide emission nozzle provides a faster and more stable air flow. In addition, the 20° angle of the nozzle circulates air faster throughout the room, enabling quick removal of dust and particles. Air circulates into every corner of the room to help remove dust.
