to eliminate viruses, bacteria, fungus and unpleasant odours for cleaner air
Mr. Sarawut Tempattarasak, Corporate Planning Assistant General Manager of Siam Daikin Sales Co., Ltd., the world’s leader in air conditioning technology, announced the launch of the latest Daikin air conditioner model, ZETAS, that comes equipped with Daikin’s patented streamer technology which helps eliminate viruses, bacteria, fungus, allergens and various harmful gases in the air. Daikin ZETAS hit the market in March 2021.
Streamer technology emits high-speed electrons that can deactivate SARS-CoV-2 and MHV-A59 by 99.9% – the test result was confirmed by Tokyo University and Okayama University in Japan on 16 July 2020.
The patented technology that is featured in Daikin ZETAS harnesses 3C innovations: Clean Air, Comfort Room and Convenient Control, that bring cool, comfortable air with user-friendly control via smartphone.
The Clean Air innovation comes with Air Purifying Mode. The streamer technology emits high-speed electrons that help decompose germs and harmful matters. Efficiency tests by leading institutions in and outside Japan since 2014 reveal that streamer can deactivate viruses, fungus, bacteria, allergens and 60 kinds of harmful gasses, hence reducing germs and unpleasant odours to generate clean, pure air.
The model also features upgraded Mold Proof Function that prevents mouldy odour fungus. The automatic cleaning feature creates water from condensation to clean the fan coil then gets rid of the moisture by blowing wind infused with electrons from the streamer to deactivate remaining germs in the air conditioner unit. The latest filter not only effectively filters PM2.5 dust but also viruses, bacteria, unpleasant odours and allergens with Enzyme Blue technology that is proven to deactivate 99% of germs.
The Comfort Room innovation delivers cool and comfortable air with Hybrid Cooling technology that automatically keeps the humidity level at 50-60% RH, which is scientifically proven to be the most suitable humidity level for Thai consumers, imbuing a comfortable, light and pleasant feeling.
The last innovation, Convenient Control, is powered by a built-in wi-fi adaptor that allows for easy control anytime from anywhere via Daikin Mobile Controller application on smartphone.
Mr. Sarawut added that Daikin ZETAS’s swing compressor helps save energy, hence saving electricity expenses. The fitted Super PCB PRO Inverter circuit board is extra durable, helping to protect the air conditioner unit from damage from a drop in voltage or power surge. The unit can continue operating at as low as 130 volts and is not damaged through 440 volts of power surge. The board is coated with a dust-free, humidity-free and pest-free surface and this part comes with 3-year warranty.
Daikin ZETAS FTKZ09/12VV2S comes with Intelligent Eye that maximizes comfort with automatic human movement detection, allowing for specific airflow or comfort airflow. Every BTU capacity model comes equipped with motion censor to save energy. The smart technology increases room temperature by two degrees Celsius when there is no human movement and reverts to the pre-set temperature when motion is detected.
Daikin ZETAS condensing unit is also pest-proofed. Small animals such as house lizards can cause serious damage to the circuit board, especially in residential areas upcountry. The newly improved condensing units either have smaller than 4mm access to the circuit board or are sealed with proofing stickers (for slots wider than 4mm) to minimize possible damage from pests and prolong service life of the product.
