Plasmacluster Ions: How They Work

PCI Air Purifiers from Sharp Electronics use Plasmacluster Ion technology to create a +/- ion shower that actively seeks out airborne bacteria, virus, mold, fungi, smoke, pollen and odour causing particles. The process is detailed below for viruses.

1. Alternating Plasma Discharge

The Ion generator uses an alternating plasma discharge to split water molecules into oppositely charged hydrogen and oxygen ions.

2. Seeking Out Airborne Particles

Cluster Ions are drawn to airborne particles by their electrical charge.

3. The Ion Clusters Surround And Inactivate Airborne Particles

Positive and negative Ions react to form Hydroxyl (Nature’s form of a Detergent), which robs the particles of the hydrogen necessary for them to survive.

4. Hydroxyl Eliminates Hydrogen From The Virus

After the Hydroxyl eliminates hydrogen from the virus, the PCI cleansing process is then complete making the airborne virus inactive.
