With the arrival of summer, one of the most popular topics returns: the use of air conditioning. With the heat, especially in summer, on many occasions it becomes the only option to enjoy a pleasant stay, as long as the temperature is correct.
The correct temperature data is more important than it seems. And it is that on many occasions, the air conditioning not used how it should, abusing very low temperatures for a long time and that can lead to many people catching colds or having health problems.
If we put a constant temperature around 24º, it is more than enough to cool a room without causing disturbances to people.
But the benefits of using air conditioning go far beyond not being hot in the summer. And it is that the air we breathe inside our house or in closed rooms is very important, since its quality can have a direct impact on our health and that of ours.
Not all air conditioners are capable of effectively filtering the air, and you have to pay special attention when buying one. One of the keys to deciding on one air conditioning unit or another, and making a correct use of it, is that they have a high-efficiency air filtering system with which, in addition to cooling the environment, they help to clean, renew the air and filter the air in a room at all times, eliminating all those microparticles, which although invisible in the environment, are harmful to health.
For example, the filter Quad plasma Mitsubishi Electric’s exclusive technology is capable of inhibiting 99.8 percent of SARS-CoV-2 as well as other particles such as dust, allergens, mold, mites and odors.
Hence the importance of entrusting this work to a brand with recognized prestige in the field of air conditioning, and not being guided only by a low price.
The importance of filtering
Whether our air conditioning is current or if it is some years old, it is possible to improve its performance in terms of air filtration, the new accessory Plasma Quad Connect from Mitsubishi Electric, which features air filtration system technology Quad plasma, and it can be installed on any brand equipment, whether it is newly installed or without equipment that is less than ten years old.
Among the advantages of having an effective air filtering system in your air conditioning equipment are:
- The main one is improve respiratory health, helping to reduce derived diseases such as allergies or asthma. By eliminating toxic particles, we help to breathe clean and healthy air.
- Better respiratory health and a home with a more comfortable temperature, too helps to enjoy more of the stay in which we are, be it our own home or even in the office. This situation even contributes to improving mood and productivity if we are working.
Finally, another advantage is associated with rest. A more comfortable home with a pleasant temperature, away from the summer heat, also helps to reconcile rest at night. Much more now that night time is consolidated as the cheapest to use electronic devices. Using the air conditioner at night helps you rest and keep the house cool during the day.
How the Plasma Quad Filtration System Works
Plasma Quad works creating a kind of electric curtain that collects the infectious and polluting molecules found in the environment and, by applying an electrical discharge, neutralizes them. This filtering method captures particles up to 30 times smaller than the width of a human hair.
Here is some information on what Plasma Quad is capable of:
- Inhibit 99.8% of SARS-CoV-2
- Neutralize 99% of bacteria in 115 mins and 99% of viruses in 65 mins
- Eliminate 98% of allergens such as pollen;
- Capture 99.7% of mites and dust and 99% of suspended particles less than 2.5 microns (PM2.5)
- Eliminate bad odors, such as tobacco or kitchen odors.
As additional information of interest, the effectiveness of the Mitsubishi Electric filtering system is endorsed by the Spanish Society of Allergology and Immunology (SEAIC) itself, capable of reducing exposure to allergenic particles by up to 97%, viruses and bacteria, which can help control allergy symptoms.
If you want to know more about how Plasma Quad technology works, take a look at the web from Mitsubishi Electric where you can also see the campaign carried out with Mario Picazo, meteorologist, scientific disseminator and professor at the University of California.
In short, the air conditioning it is no longer seen exclusively as a device designed solely for cooling or to refresh a room, it also contributes to the improvement of the quality of the air we breathe and that has a direct impact on our health and that of those around us.
