Panasonic extends air purification technology

EUROPE: Panasonic has extended the use of its Nanoe X Mark 3 air purification technology to its MU2 90×90 air conditioning cassettes and the MF3 adaptive ducted units.

Panasonic’s Nanoe X generator Mark 3 is said to inhibit a wide range of harmful bacteria, viruses, mould, pollen and allergens be they airborne, on hard surfaces or fabrics.  

Thanks to the unit’s cleaning function, the inside of the MU2 90×90 cassette is automatically dried after cooling/drying operation, and Nanoe X is activated to suppress mould growth.

In Panasonic’s adaptive ducted units, the performance of the Nanoe X technology is maintained even with 10 m long ducts.
