In recent years, environmental pollution has become more and more serious, followed by many complicated changes in the epidemic situation, causing many consequences for human health. Daikin has researched and released Streamer technology with a commitment to continuous improvement, which is Daikin's exclusive air purification technology. As a result, Daikin air conditioners and air purifiers are perfect for inhibiting odor-causing substances and contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, molds, pollen, dust mites, and PM2.5s in allergen ingredients. We hope that the following article will help you better understand this technology.
What is Streamer Technology?
Streamer technology is a form of plasma discharge that produces high-speed streams of electrons. These electrons collide and combine with nitrogen and oxygen in the air to form strongly decomposing OH radical elements.
The decomposition power is compared to the heat at about 100,000 degrees Celsius.
Thanks to that, streamer technology will adhere to the surface of fungi and allergens and decompose proteins in the air by oxidation. As a result, it helps remove allergens such as mold, weevils (feces and dead mites), pollen, and harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde.
Disable virus
In particular, Streamer technology can disable the Sars-Cov-2 virus variant by 99.9% for Alpha, Beta, and Gamma strains and 99.8% for Delta strains. For the new strain Omicron, the sterilization rate is up to 99.9% after only 2 hours. (*)
(*) The trial was conducted by Daikin Industries in cooperation with Professor Tatsuo Shioda and Assistant Professor Tadahiro Sasaki, Department of Infectious Diseases, Microbiology Research Institute, Osaka University, Japan. Under laboratory conditions, who obtained test results from the Streamer discharge device. Under actual conditions, the effects and impacts of products equipped with Streamer technology may differ.
Streamer discharge decomposition mechanism
Streamer discharge causes a substantial impact on the elements trapped in the filter, and this process takes place entirely inside the machine in 3 specific steps as follows:
- Step 1 (Discharge): Streamer discharge generates high-speed electrons.
- Step 2 (Combination): High-speed electrons contact and combine with Nitrogen and Oxygen in the air. This compound produces molecules that break down at a high rate.
- Step 3 (Decomposition): Degrading elements will break down the surface and destroy the center of harmful proteins.
The Advantages of Streamer Technology
After years of research and testing, streamer technology has been recognized by prestigious organizations in Japan and abroad to remove 68 types of harmful substances as follows:
Kill 12 types of viruses and 7-types of mold
- Influenza virus (type A, H1N1), H5N1 avian influenza virus, E. coli bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, tuberculosis, Norovirus, blue pus bacillus,...
It removes 30 allergens
- Mold, aspergillus, Eurotium, and other fungi are allergens,...
- Cedar pollen, cardamom pollen, tree pollen, garden grass pollen, and so on,...
- Allergens from living organisms: house dust, house mites, cockroaches, fleas, dog cuticles, cat cuticles, mouse cuticles, etc...
Eliminate 19 substances harmful to health
- The ability to reduce and filter out harmful substances that affect health, such as formaldehyde or diesel exhaust dust.
- CExhaust toxic gas chemicals such as NOx, benzene, and...
- Toxic chemicals in the form of VOCs such as iso-butanol, hexane, styrene, nonanoic acid,...
Keep the Daikin air conditioner's radiator clean with this anti-mold function combined with Streamer
One of the other outstanding advantages of Streamer technology is the combination of the Anti-Mold function, which reduces mold growth and unpleasant odors, provides a tremendous flow of air, and helps maintain efficiency, capacity, and life of the indoor unit.
This function has the following process of operation:
- Initially, the condensate from the cooling process removes dirt in the heat exchanger. After cleaning with condensate, the louver opens, and the machine will run in fan mode to blow the air out to dry the heat exchanger.
- Then, when the cooling or dehumidifying function is stopped, the machine will automatically operate in the fan-only mode for 1 hour to dry the inside of the indoor unit, reducing the generation of mold and unpleasant odors.
- Simultaneously, streamer electricity discharges and dries the inside of the indoor unit, radiator, and airflow, neutralizing harmful substances such as viruses, mold, and allergens.
With exclusive Streamer technology on air conditioners and Daikin air purifiers, it helps to improve air quality by removing harmful substances, allergens, mold, bacteria, and viruses from the air. On the other hand, what Daikin wants is to bring cool and clean air and products that are good for users' health. Therefore, after 25 years, Daikin is still the first choice for customers.
Above, Sieuthimaylanh introduced information about Streamer technology on Daikin air conditioners and air purifiers. Hopefully, the article will add more knowledge about this advanced and valuable technology to customers.
