An air conditioning apparatus incorporates an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions by applying an alternating-current voltage between electrodes. The generated positive and negative ions coexist in the air and, when they attach to the surfaces of airborne bacteria, they react chemically with each other and generate radical hydroxyl and hydrogen peroxide, which extract hydrogen atoms from the cells of the bacteria and thereby kill them. This sterilizing effect is combined with the temperature-conditioning, dehumidifying, humidifying, air-purifying, and other functions of the air conditioning apparatus to bring about a comfortable and healthful indoor environment.
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage having an inlet and an outlet through which the blower circulates the air, and an air flow passage having an outlet directed away from said circulation passage inlet and not being enclosed by the circulation passage, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions is provided in the air flow passage.
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage through which the blower circulates the air, and an air flow passage not enclosed by the circulation passage, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions is provided in the air flow passage and wherein separate air inlets are provided for the circulation passage and the air flow passage.
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage through which the blower circulates the air, and an air flow passage not enclosed by the circulation passage, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions is provided in the air flow passage and wherein separate air outlets are provided for the circulation passage and the air flow passage.
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage through which the blower circulates the air, a heat exchanger provided in the circulation passage for conditioning temperature of the air flowing therethrough, and an air flow passage not enclosed by the circulation passage, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions is provided in the air flow passage, an air outlet of the air flow passage communicates with the circulation passage, and a confluence between the air flow passage and the circulation passage is formed on a downstream side of the heat exchanger provided in the circulation passage.
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage through which the blower circulates the air, and a heat exchanger provided in the circulation passage upstream of the blower for conditioning temperature of the air flowing therethrough, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions is provided on an upstream side of the heat exchanger provided in the circulation passage.
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage through which the blower circulates the air, and an air flow passage not enclosed by the circulation passage, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions by applying an alternating-current voltage between electrodes is provided in the air flow passage and
An air conditioning apparatus comprising a blower that circulates air inside a room, a circulation passage through which the blower circulates the air, and an air flow passage not enclosed by the circulation passage, wherein an ion generating device that generates positive and negative ions by applying an alternating-current voltage between electrodes is provided in the air flow passage, the blower includes a filter that removes dust from air sucked in, and part of the air that has passed through the filter is fed to the ion generating device so that air containing the ions generated by the ion generating device is mixed with the air that has passed through the filter so as to be circulated together therewith;
An air conditioning apparatus comprising:
