The evolution of nanoe

An image showing that nanoe™ X contains many hydroxyl radicals

More hydroxyl radicals, greater benefits

nanoe™ X technology has evolved dramatically. Compared to the first nanoe™ generator developed by Panasonic in 2003, the nanoe X Generator Mark 2, developed in 2019, generates 20 times and the nanoe X Generator Mark 3, developed in 2021, even generates 100 times as many hydroxyl radicals.

The decisive factor for the cleaning effects is hydroxyl radical amount,
which contained in nanoe™ X particles.

Generating mechanism	Counter electrode Atomisation electrode Generating area for hydroxyl radicals: Small	With multi-leader discharge (4 needle-shaped electrodes) the generation area is significantly expanded, so 10 times as many hydroxyl radicals are generated. Multi-leader discharge (4 needle-shaped electrodes)	The convex shape of the counter electrode draws moisture from the discharge point upward, stabilizing discharge, so 20 times as many hydroxyl radicals are generated.

Results of Mould Inhibition Test

Comparison with and without internal cleaning function.

Test Method: A mould sensor from the Laboratory for mold prediction was installed in an indoor unit (CS-P80U7H) and the growth of mould was compared after 9 days of cooling operation (3 hours of cooling operation and 21 hours of shutdown) with and without internal cleaning.
Environmental Conditions: Temperature 25°C, humidity 70%
Testing Organisation: Laboratory for mould prediction

*6 While this function is effective in inhibiting mould growth, it does not prevent mould from occurring. The mould growth inhibition effect may vary depending on the installation environment and operating time. *When using the nanoe™ X Generator Mark 3 function, a multi-function wired remote control (CZ-10RT4C) is required. (The floor-standing type with a built-in control switch in the main unit can be used.) *Only ON/OFF operation is possible with the multilingual wired remote controller (CZ-10RTF4). Also, local setup is required to use the nanoe™ X Generator Mark 3.
