Welcome the Plasmacluster Ion Generator for a healthier and more comfortable workplace.
Sharp’s Plasmacluster is the only technology that uses positive and negative ions to disinfect the air.
High density and long-lasting ions make a powerful
attack on dirty air across the entire room.
How Plasmacluster ions are generated
Positive and negative voltages are applied to discharge electrodes in
order to electrically breakdown water and oxygen molecules in the
air. This produces positive hydrogen ions and negative oxygen ions.
Plasmacluster ions are the same positive and negative ions found in
nature. The ions are long lasting as surrounded by water molecules,
and are released into the air.

high density of Plasmacluster ions across wide areas such
as lobbies and waiting rooms.
The airflow near the Plasmacluster ion generating
unit increases to produce more ions.

*What is the Coanda effect?
It is a characteristic of air and liquid jets that, when blown
along surfaces, tend to follow the surface even if exhausted
or curved downstream.

Higher ion densities with a Plasmacluster ion
generating unit.
The Plasmacluster ion generating device has been built
and incorporated as a detachable modular unit, which
both increases the density of the ion flow and ensures a
stable consistent flow of ions at all times. A lamp on the
front panel of the product notifies the user when it is time
to replace the unit.

Plasmacluster ion generating unit for replacement
(Plasmacluster ion generating unit will need to be replaced periodically.)
*After about 17,500 total hours of operations (about 2 years when run continuously 24 hours
a day), a lamp on the front panel starts flashing to notify the user that it is time to replace
the unit.

Plasmacluster ion generating unit replacement
•The Plasmacluster ion generating unit will need to be replaced periodically to enable continuous stable emission of high-density
Plasmacluster ions.
•The product stops running after about 19,000 hours (approx. 2 years and 2 months) if the unit is not replaced.
•The Plasmacluster ion generating unit may need to be replaced sooner when used in some environments or locations (such as locations of
suspended cooking oil droplets or other oil components, dusty or humid locations, or locations where sprays or chemicals are used).
Designed for both low power consumption and quiet
operation for comfortable use year-round
The product is designed to consume about 10 W*.
Furthermore, the operating noise is the same 34 db*
demanded for libraries, so the product can be used
comfortably all year-round.

Breaker interlock to prevent unnecessary running
If the breaker interlock switch is
set in the ON position and then the
product is accidentally unplugged
or the breaker trips during use, the
last used operating mode resumes
automatically when power is restored.
