Panasonic nanoe X promises cleaner air

EUROPE: Panasonic’s new R32 floor console and MU2/PU2 90×90 indoor cassette air conditioning units are using nanoe X air purification technology.

The upgraded nanoe technology is said to provide enhanced air purification by controlling allergens, bacteria and viruses.

Panasonic’s nanoe X, which is said to be 10x more powerful than its predecessor nanoe, works by generating hydroxyl radicals (OH) for healthier air. The effectiveness of virus/bacteria removal has been drastically improved due to a wider OH production area which can now generate 4,800 billion per second. OH oxidises chemicals and bacteria in the atmosphere, effectively removing them from the air making it safer to breathe.

The nanoe X technology can work simultaneously with heating or cooling operation to remove pollen, pollution, fungi and even cigarette smoke from the air. It is also said to reduce odours in the room and includes an internal dehumidifier to limit the propagation of mould and bacteria.

Panasonic says that the technology will be rolled out across all Panasonic air conditioning solutions in due course.
