Effect Of Cluster Ions; How The Hybrid Humidifier Works - Sharp HV-50CXE Operation Manual

EFFECT OF CLUSTER IONS

How bacteria-removing ions eradicate floating mold fungus.
Testing organization:
Ishikawa Prefecture Preventive Medicine Organization
1
Bacteria-removing ions (large volume of plus and minus ions) gather around the surfaces of floating
mold fungus.
2
Bacteria-removing ions, consisting of plus ions (hydrogen ions: H
react on the surfaces of the floating mold fungus and change to a very powerful active substance of
hydroxyl radical OH.
3
Hydroxyl radical OH removes hydrogen atoms from the cell walls of floating mold fungus and destroys
the cell walls.
Mold fungus with broken cell walls is self-destroyed!

HOW THE HYBRID HUMIDIFIER WORKS

What is a hybrid humidifier?
Hybrid humidifier uses a combination of
evaporation method, which humidifies the
air by applying air to the humidification fil-
ter, and the heat method, which assists
evaporation by warming the air using a
heater.
When starting operation, warm air is applied
to the humidification filter for humidification.
The heater is turned off when the air
reaches the set filter and uses the air in the
room to maintain set humidity while con-
serving power.
Humidification using heat/evaporation method
Evaporation-type humidification
Method of applying air when drying clothes quickly.
Heat-type humidification
Method of applying warm air when drying clothes more quickly.
More moisture is released as vapor than with cool air.
