Shot out to catch and inactivate airborne bacteria and mould
Active -ion

Air is monitored both during air conditioner operation and
when it's switched off. When dirt is detected, the air purifying
function is started to immediately clean the air in the room.
Using the force of attraction between positive and negative
charges, the e-ion Filter – which is 7 times bigger and finer
than ever – powerfully captures dust particles.
The mega size air purifying filter covers almost
the same area as the intake grille to prevent dust
from escaping.
The entire filter is positively charged to
powerfully attract negatively charged dust.

Fibres extend
across the entire
area of the filter.

Electric Induction Fibres positively charge the entire filter.
*1
For an air conditioner with a dust collection system that releases negative ions from an ion generator to negatively charge dust particles and then collect them with the entire surface of a positively charged filter. (As of June, 2007)
*2 After 5 cigarettes were smoked in a roughly 20m

room, air conditioner operation was started and the decrease in particulate concentration was measured with a dust meter.

The sensor measures the dirt
in the air, and above a certain
level the air is judged to be dirty.
Detection
Whether the air conditioner is operating or not, the sensor
constantly monitors dirt in the air.
Monitoring
If dirt concentration exceeds the sensing level, the Air
Purifying System is switched on.
