Daikin air conditioner's Streamer air filter technology

Currently, the situation of environmental pollution is becoming more and more serious. The disease situation is complicated, causing many impacts on human health. Intending to improve to offer superior technologies continuously, Daikin has researched and released Streamer technology. Daikin's exclusive air purification technology helps Daikin air conditioners achieve maximum inhibition of odors and contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, molds, pollen, dust mites, and PM2.5s in allergen ingredients.

What is Streamer Technology?

Streamer technology is a form of plasma discharge that produces high-speed streams of electrons. These electrons collide and combine with nitrogen and oxygen in the air to create OH-radical elements that decompose strongly with the equivalent of heat at about 100,000 degrees Celsius.

Then, they attach to the surfaces of fungi and allergens and oxidize proteins in the air. It helps remove allergens such as mold, weevils (feces and dead mites), pollen, and harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde.

Disable virus

One of the most incredible things about Streamer technology is that it can neutralize the variant of the Sars-Cov-2 virus strain:

- For Alpha, Beta, and gamma variants up to 99.9%.

- For the Delta variant, up to 99.8%.

- Particularly for the new Omicron, the sterilization rate is 99.9% after only 2 hours. (*)

(*) The trial was conducted by Daikin Industries in cooperation with Professor Tatsuo Shioda and Assistant Professor Tadahiro Sasaki, Department of Infectious Diseases, Microbiology Research Institute, Osaka University, Japan. Under laboratory conditions, it obtained test results from the Streamer discharge device. Under actual conditions, the effects and impacts of products equipped with Streamer technology may differ.

Streamer discharge decomposition mechanism

The Streamer emits electrodes and causes a substantial impact on the particles trapped in the filter, and this process takes place entirely inside the machine in 3 specific steps as follows:

- Step 1 (Discharge): Streamer discharge generates high-speed electrons.

- Step 2 (Combination): High-speed electrons contact and combine with nitrogen and oxygen in the air. This compound produces molecules that break down at a high rate.

- Step 3 (Decomposition): Degrading elements will break down the surface and destroy the center of harmful proteins.

The Advantages of Streamer Technology

After years of research and testing, Streamer technology has been recognized by prestigious organizations in Japan and abroad to remove 68 types of harmful substances as follows:

- Kill 12 types of viruses and seven types of mold: influenza virus (type A, H1N1), avian influenza virus H5N1, E. coli bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Norovirus tuberculosis, blue pus bacillus, etc.

- Removes 30 allergens:

• Mold, aspergillus, Eurotium, and other fungi are allergens.
• Cedar pollen, cardamom pollen, tree pollen, garden grass pollen, and so on
• Allergens from living organisms: house dust, house mites, cockroaches, fleas, dog cuticles, cat cuticles, mouse cuticles, etc.

- Remove 19 substances harmful to health:

• The ability to reduce and filter out harmful substances that affect health, such as formaldehyde or diesel exhaust dust.
• Exhaust toxic gas chemicals such as NOx, benzene, and...
• Toxic chemicals in the form of VOCs such as iso-butanol, hexane, styrene, nonanoic acid,...

Keep the radiator of the air conditioner Daikin clean thanks to the anti-mold function combined with Streamer

Another outstanding advantage of Streamer technology is its Anti-Mold function, which reduces mold growth and unpleasant odors, provides an incredible flow of air, and helps maintain the performance and service life of the indoor unit.

This function has the following process of operation:

- Water condensing through the cooling process is used to remove dirt in the heat exchanger. After cleaning with condensate, the louver opens, and the machine will run in fan mode to blow the air out to dry the heat exchanger.

- Then, when the cooling or dehumidifying function is stopped, the machine will automatically operate in the fan-only mode for 1 hour to dry the inside of the indoor unit, reducing the generation of mold and unpleasant odors. Streamer electricity simultaneously discharges and dries the inside of the indoor unit, radiator, and air intake, neutralizing harmful substances such as viruses, mold, and allergens.

With exclusive Streamer technology on Daikin air conditioners, it helps to improve air quality by removing harmful substances, allergens, mold, bacteria, and viruses in the air. But, on the other hand, what Daikin wants is not only to bring cool but also clean air and superior products good for users' health. Therefore, Daikin is still the most trusted brand after 25 years through the criterion "Choose an air conditioner - Remember Daikin first!"

Above, Dien may gia goc introduced information about Streamer technology on Daikin air conditioners. Hopefully, the article will bring customers a lot of helpful information about this superior technology.
