Streamer air purification technology has outstanding features

Currently, Daikin's products are trusted and used by many customers. In particular, exclusive air purification technology, Streamer, is applied to Daikin air conditioners and air purifiers, effectively removing bacteria, bringing clean, fresh air, and protecting customers' health.

What is Streamer Technology?

On the air conditioner

Streamer technology is an advanced 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 strongly decomposed molecules.

"Streamer discharge" decomposes bacteria and mold on the filter in the form of an advanced plasma discharge. A highly efficient method of oxidative decomposition. Streamer discharge is one of the plasma discharge methods. With the same power source, the oxidative breakdown rate of streamer discharge is 1000 times faster than that of conventional plasma discharge (glow discharge), effectively killing mold, bacteria, and viruses and purifying the source of the air you breathe.

Streamer discharge decomposition mechanism

Streamer discharge has a substantial impact on elements trapped in the filter. Because the decomposition process takes place entirely inside the machine instead of outside in the air in 3 steps, namely:

• 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 then destroy the center of harmful proteins.

The outstanding advantages of streamer technology

Mold and viruses are effectively removed up to 99% of the time.

Daikin has conducted many studies and experiments on the effectiveness of streamer discharge on various harmful substances such as molds, viruses, allergens, and diesel exhaust gases and molecules.

The results obtained are awe-inspiring. Within 24 hours of discharge, the Streamer removes 99% of mold and can inactivate 99% of viruses within an hour.

It can eliminate viruses and bacteria by using streamer technology:

• Staphylococcus aureus.
• Escherichia coli (E.coli).
• Klebsiella pneumoniae.
• MRSA.
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Moraxella.

Keeping the heatsink clean when combined with the anti-mold function

The condensed water condensing through the cooling process removes 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.

The fan function will work in tandem with Streamer technology and lasts up to 60 minutes. Thanks to this combination, the inside of the indoor unit, the radiator, and the air intake will be dry and, at the same time, neutralize harmful substances such as viruses, mold, and allergens.

On the air purifier

"Streamer discharge" is a form of plasma discharge that produces high-velocity streams of electrons that can combine with oxygen and nitrogen in the air to form active compounds with solid oxidizing powers and thus remove harmful substances allergens such as mold, weevils (feces and dead mites), pollen, and toxic chemicals such as formaldehyde. Compared with standard plasma discharge (luminescence discharge), the rate of oxidative decomposition is 1000 times stronger with the same amount of electrical energy.

The decomposition power is compared to a temperature of approximately 100,000 °C.

Streamer's 3C notation

- Clean: removes bacteria from the dust filter, humidifying filter, and humidifying water.

- Clash: Decomposes harmful substances on the filter by oxidation. Toxic gaseous chemicals adhere to the surfaces of substances suspended in the air.

- Cycle: The deodorizing filter absorbs and decomposes odors. The deodorizing power is maintained because the absorption capacity is regenerated.

Streamer technology benefits

Community academies in Japan and abroad (according to experiments performed by 3rd parties requested by Daikin Corporation):

• Inactivate viruses and bacteria: influenza virus (type A, H1N1), highly virulent avian influenza virus (Type A, H5N1), Ecoli bacteria, O-157, Staphylococcus aureus, tuberculosis, norovirus, green pus bacillus, toxic substances.
• Decompose various types of allergens: fungal allergens (mold, Aspergillus, Eurotium, Aspergillus, fusarium, penicillium), pollen allergens, organism allergens raw, such as flour.
• Remove harmful chemicals: Formaldehyde, diesel exhaust dust particles (DEP), toxic chemicals in the exhaust gas (NOx, tetrachloroethylene, benzene, trichloroethylene, dichloroethane, chloroform), poisonous chemicals in VOCs (iso-butanol, hexane, styrene, nonanoic acid, trimethyl benzene, xylene, naphthalene, ethylbenzene, toluene, ethyl acetate).

To be highly effective, you need to pay attention to some notes for the Streamer technology on Daikin air purifiers:

- Clean the air vents, sensors on the body, and the outer cover with a soft cloth or vacuum cleaner.

- Replace the filter periodically to ensure the best air filtration performance.

- Adjust the sensor level according to the instructions.
