BOLT-ON AIR PURIFIER NEUTRALISES INDOOR POLLUTANTS
Mitsubishi Electric has launched its new Plasma Quad Connect air purifier for improved indoor air quality from air conditioning systems. The bolt-on device can neutralise six key indoor pollutants, as well as inhibit 99.8% of SARS-CoV-2*
P
lasma Quad Connect can be bolted on to Mitsubishi Electric’s air
conditioning
for both new and existing indoor
units across the M Series, Mr Slim and City Multi ranges.
Improved indoor air quality Unique to the manufacturer, Plasma Quad Connect works like an electrical curtain to catch and neutralise even microscopic particles in the air, to significantly improve indoor air quality. The technology has been independently tested against SARS- CoV-2 by the Microbial Testing Laboratory, Japan Textile Quality and Technology Centre in Kobe, Japan. Plasma Quad Connect has also been found to be effective against bacteria, dust, viruses, mould and allergens such as pollen, in addition to microscopic particles down to PM2.5. “There’s a lot of debate around indoor air quality, especially as we look to move back into offices and buildings and good ventilation is the first thing any business should look at,” explains Mark Grayston, Product Marketing Manager for Mitsubishi Electric. “At the same
time, air conditioning with good filtration can play a significant role in optimising indoor air quality.” The level of pollutants inside buildings can be as much as up to five times
higher than
the outdoors, so being able to remove harmful particles
in
the air is essential to occupant wellbeing. With greater regulation pushing for air tightness in buildings, improving indoor air quality is also becoming an increasing priority for businesses. “Plasma Quad Connect significantly improves
indoor air
quality, providing peace of mind for the building owner and reassurance for building occupants,” adds Grayston. “It works with new installations but we’ve also designed the device specifically to address existing equipment, making it ideal for hotels, leisure facilities, medical centres, retail outlets and offices.”
Cost-effective solution
The device’s bolt-on capability provides flexibility of installation and offers a more cost-effective
solution, which means businesses can avoid costly refits. With regular maintenance, Plasma Quad Connect has the same service life as an indoor unit and it can be installed with wall mounted units, ducted units and ceiling cassettes systems. “Plasma Quad Connect is automatically powered when the air conditioning is in operation,” adds Grayston. “Our design engineers have not only developed something that is simple to install, it is also easy to use so building owners now have a straightforward and highly effective solution to improving indoor air quality.”

Ideal for spot lighting or for multiple compositions, Jewel Mono is equipped with an anti-glare lens – the standard version of which generates a 38-degree beam – that creates extraordinary visual comfort. The constant current dimmable LED source and its driver are integrated into the lamp. The aesthetic versatility of Jewel Mono, combined with a luminous flux per pendant light of about 700 lumens and a colour rendering index greater than 90%, make the lamp suitable for both residential and public environments.
