Gain Insight on Your Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality plays a crucial role in our health, comfort, and well-being. With the emergence of new indoor air pollutants, the need to maintain good air quality becomes increasingly important. At the same time, factors such as temperature, humidity, mould, bacteria, and other pollutants can negatively affect the air quality, leading to discomfort, illness, and reduced quality of life.
Panasonic air conditioners not only cool your space but also feature the Clean Air Indicator, providing valuable insights into the quality of the air you breathe.
Unseen Indoor Air Pollutants: The Silent Threat
While we can immediately notice the effects of temperature and humidity on our comfort, the discomfort caused by unseen pollutants in our indoor air is often overlooked, yet can be just as significant. Common methods of monitoring indoor air quality typically involve using separate devices that can be small, easily misplaced, and require regular maintenance or replacements.
In today’s world, where convenience, minimalism, and low-maintenance living are paramount, we have integrated the Clean Air Indicator feature into our air conditioners to provide real-time insights into your air quality. Our air conditioners also feature a purification function that effectively eliminates pollutants and deodorises the space. With a Panasonic air conditioner, you can effortlessly monitor your air quality, purify the air, and cool your space—all in one appliance.
What is Clean Air Indicator?
Panasonic’s Clean Air Indicator is a tool that allows you to visualise the air around you, displaying real-time air quality and pollution level. It utilises advanced sensors to measure the presence of particulate matter PM2.5 and odours.
How Does Clean Air Indicator Work?
The Clean Air Indicator works by monitoring and detecting the air around the air conditioner, then displaying real-time updates on the indication bar. With these insights, users can take proactive measures to improve indoor air quality, while the air conditioner uses its purification function to clean the air.
Actively MONITOR & DETECT the air around you
The invisible PM2.5 particles and strong odours will be drawn into the air conditioning system through its airflow circulation.
The odour sensor detects strong odours while the dust sensor detects the level of PM2.5 concentration.
Real-time UPDATE on air quality
Based on the PM2.5 concentration and odour level, the air conditioner will analyse and display real-time air quality updates with a 3-colour level indicator.
Green suggests clean air, yellow indicates moderate pollutants and odours while red suggests poor air quality with high pollution and strong odours.
PURIFY pollutants and odours
nanoe™ X technology automatically purifies the space, effectively deodorising and inhibiting pollutants such as hazardous substances contained in PM2.5.
At the same time, nanoe-G works to remove dust particles as small as PM2.5.
*nanoe™ technology is ON by default.
Active Air Monitoring and Detection
The Clean Air Indicator utilises the built-in sensors to actively detect pollutants that are invisible to the naked eyes.
Dust Sensor
Dust sensor detects the presence and concentration of fine particulate matter of 2.5μm or less, which is smaller than house dust.
PM2.5
Dust
Odour Sensor
Odour sensor detects the presence of various odours, including those from cooking, garbage, tobacco, toilets, body odour, and pets.
Cooking odour
Garbage odour
Tobacco odour
Toilet odour
Body odour
Pet odour
Real-time Air Quality Update
The air conditioner displays real-time air quality using a 3-colour coded system, making it easy to quickly assess air quality levels at a glance.
Red
Air quality is poor, indicating high levels of pollutants or strong odours.
Yellow
Air quality is fair, suggesting moderate levels of pollutants or odours.
Green
Air quality is excellent, indicating clean air with low levels of pollutants and odours.
Purify Pollutants and Odours
Leveraging proprietary nanoe™ X and nanoe-G technologies, the air conditioner actively purifies and deodorises the air, creating cleaner and fresher indoor spaces. nanoe™ X technology harnesses the power of hydroxyl radicals to effectively inhibit airborne and adhered pollutants while reducing odours. nanoe-G technology effectively removes dust particles by releasing 3 trillion negative ions per second. These ions attach to tiny PM2.5 particles, carrying them back to the unit where they are trapped in the air conditioner’s filter.
How Does nanoe™ X Reduce Odours
1. nanoe™ X reaches odours deep within fabric or lingering in the air.
2. Hydroxyl radicals break down odour-causing substances.
3. Deodorises smells in fabric.
How Does nanoe™ X Inhibit Pollutants
1. nanoe™ X reaches surface-adhered and airborne pollutants in the air.
2. Hydroxyl radicals take hydrogen away from pollutants.
3. Hydroxyl radicals transform hydrogen to inhibit the activity of pollutants.
How Does nanoe-G Work
1. nanoe-G ion generator generates negative ions.
2. Negative ions attach to dust particles.
3. These particles are being carried back and trapped at the filter.
Uniqueness of Panasonic’s Clean Air Indicator
Panasonic air conditioner features the Clean Air Indicator to facilitate a healthier indoor environment.
Integrated and Zero Setup
The advanced sensor is built into the Panasonic air conditioner and is ready to use – no additional devices or setup is required.
Autonomous and Continuous Monitoring
Automatically detects and monitors air quality as soon as the air conditioner is turned on. Continuous monitoring as long as the air conditioner is operating.
Intuitive User Interface and Discreet Design
A simple and easy-to-understand user interface, accessible to everyone. The discreet display of the indicator avoids visual clutter and minimises its footprint.
Benefits of Clean Air Indicator
Panasonic’s Clean Air Indicator provides valuable insights into the invisible air quality. Here are some of the benefits:
Quick Notification for Vulnerable Individuals
Some individuals, such as infants, young children, pregnant women, or those with certain health conditions, are more sensitive to poor air quality. With this indicator, you can protect these vulnerable groups by detecting issues early, and taking proactive measures, especially on days with poor outdoor conditions.
Discrete Support for Busy Households
Active households with activities like cooking, disposing of food waste, exercising, or children’s play can experience a decrease in indoor air quality due to unpleasant odours and damp conditions caused by sweat and damp clothes. The hassle-free air quality monitoring system lets busy individuals enjoy cool comfort and clean air without constant monitoring.
Protection from Outdoor Pollution
In areas with high outdoor pollution, dust and pollutants can easily enter homes through open doors, windows, or even on people. The indicator detects high levels of pollutants and odours, prompting you to activate the air purification mode to improve your indoor air quality.
Knowing that the air in your home is clean provides a sense of security and well-being. It’s like having a personal air quality guardian, constantly monitoring and ensuring your loved ones breathe clean, fresh air.
Stay Informed for Healthier Living
The primary purpose of Panasonic's Clean Air Indicator feature is to enhance air quality and promote healthier living spaces. The integration with our air conditioners further elevates their functionality, providing you more than just cooling.
