Panasonic
Panasonic has announced that, in collaboration with Texcell, the global contract research organisation, Texcell has verified the inhibitory effect of the nanoe X, technology with the benefits of hydroxyl radicals on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). nanoe X, the original ioniser to generate ‘nano-sized atomized water particles’ is developed by Panasonic. It is an electrostatic atomization technology, that collects invisible moisture in the air and applies high voltage to it to produce ‘hydroxyl radicals contained in water’. The decisive factor is the existence of hydroxyl radicals inside nanoe X. Hydroxyl radicals are characterised by being strongly oxidative and highly reactive.
Panasonic has been conducting research on this technology since 1997, and has verified its effectiveness in a variety of areas, including inhibiting certain pathogenic microorganism (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and allergens, breaking down PM 2.5 components that have adverse effects on the human body. In 2012, Panasonic conducted a virus clearance test with a third-party organization and confirmed the effectiveness of each of the four categories in terms of biological characteristics. Based on this result, Panasonic announced that ‘hydroxyl radicals contained in water’ technology could be expected to have an inhibitory effect on new viruses. The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) of the current global
pandemic is one such new type of virus and testing with Texcell has now confirmed that the nanoe X does have an inhibitory effect on this virus. This testing was carried out in a closed laboratory environment and was not designed to assess its efficacy in uncontrolled living spaces.
Panasonic will continue to pursue the potential of nanoe X technology to address possible risks associated with air pollution such as new pathogenic microorganisms, with the aim of creating cleaner environments for people around the world.

Mitsubishi Electric
Mitsubishi Electric has launched a Climaveneta-branded NX2 range of air source scroll chillers, expanding the NX2 family and off ering improved energy effi ciency and sustainability. As a plug and play solution with low noise levels the chillers are the ideal solution for HVAC plants’ The new chillers complete the NX2 range, off ering a two and four scroll compressor version with a capacity range from 40 to 376 kW. Both options are available with the lower-GWP R454B refrigerant, ensuring high levels of energy effi ciency alongside quality comfort cooling, as well as R410A. The complete range is Eurovent certifi ed and far exceeds the minimum seasonal effi ciency level of 2021 imposed by EcoDesign Directive. The systems have been designed for perfect acoustic wellbeing, and operate at lower noise levels than the previous range, helping them to achieve one of the best sound power levels in the market, while maintaining the same performance and footprint as the standard acoustic version. They are also designed with high levels of seasonal effi ciency in mind, and achieve excellent SEER values that are over 11% higher than the previous range. These values could be boosted by selecting the optional UP kit (Ultra Performance kit), achieving top effi ciency levels on the market.

Vaisala
Vaisala has introduced a new Humicap humidity and temperature probe HMP1. With its top-of-the-line accuracy and sensor purge functionality that ensures excellent stability over time, the HMP1 is an ideal choice for demanding humidity measurements in environments such as pharmaceutical facilities, data centers, cleanrooms, or any other environments that require strict humidity monitoring and control. The product features the recognized and space-proof HUMICAP® sensor technology, which is known to endure demanding conditions. The HMP1 complements the Indigo product family, which is a premium solution for multi-parameter measurements with fl exible connectivity. The modular product family consists of interchangeable smart probes, transmitters, and Vaisala Insight PC Software, which together create a strong chain of data to ensure energy effi ciency, safety, and end-product quality. The probe is compatible with any Vaisala Indigo series transmitter. The possibility to detach the probe from the transmitter allows effi cient maintenance and calibration. With the Indigo200 series transmitter the HMP1 probe forms a single wall-mounted unit with no probe cable or probe holder needed. The robust Indigo520 transmitter off ers installation fl exibility and allows optimal positioning of the probe. It also enables dual-probe installations for extended parameter monitoring or extreme accuracy.
