Many of our units are available with a combined Negative Ion and Nano Plasma technology. This function can be switched on and off via the supplied remote control. The negative ions remove pollen, smoke and airbourne contaminants. Nano Plasma technology effectively kills viruses and bacteria and removes odours to give greatly improved air quality and freshness. This is a great health benefit, especially for those with asthma and respiratory problems.

What are NEGATIVE-CHARGED ions?

They’re oxygen atoms with an extra electron.
And they can help you feel better.

Remember that feeling you’ve experienced near a waterfall or high in the mountains? Those are two places that thousands of negative ions occur. They create an effect on human biochemistry.

 
Negative Ion Generator

Ions are charged particles in the air that are formed in nature when enough energy acts upon a molecule such as carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, or nitrogen to eject an electron from the molecule leaving a positively charged Ion. The displaced electron attaches itself to a nearby molecule, which then becomes a negatively charged Ion. It is the negative ion of oxygen that affects us the most.”
From “Whole Self”, Spring 1991, an article entitled “Ions and Consciousness.”

Most particles in the air have a positive charge or are positively ionized. The negative ions are drawn to these positively charged particles by magnetic attraction to one another. This causes the particle to become too heavy to remain airborne. As a result, the particle will drop out of the air, and into the filters in the air conditioning unit. Removing them from the air prevents them entering the respiratory system where the dust particles can trigger breathing and health problems.

Nano Plasma Technology

All Tasaki air conditioning units now come with Plasma technology for a healthy environment.
Nano Plasma technology effectively kills viruses and bacteria and removes odours to give a greatly improved air quality and freshness.

The Plasma has an excellent sterilization effect and will kill airborne influenza, bird flu, etc.

All Tasaki high wall air conditioning units are supplied as standard with a combined Negative Ion and Nano Plasma Generator. This function can be switched on and off via the remote control supplied with the unit.

Patients with breathing problems could soon be prescribed air conditioning on the NHS to help them cope with hot weather, it emerged yesterday. Those with a lung condition which worsens in warm weather could be given a £500 portable cooling unit for their homes.
