When you invest in a Daikin air purifier, you want to know you’re getting the very best results, so we’re proud to say our products are tested by prestigious authorities including the Institut Pasteur de Lille, British Allergy Foundation UK and European Centre for Allergy Research Foundation (ECARF).

Air quality in your home is more important than ever. We’re an “indoor generation”, spending 90% of our time inside, but many of us are unaware that the air quality in our homes can be up to five times lower than outdoors.

It’s an invisible problem, but Daikin’s air purifiers are the ideal solution, making the air you and your family breathe at home cleaner and healthier.

Daikin’s Air Purifiers are known for their effectiveness, thanks to the high-performance electrostatic HEPA filter, a highly efficient system that's designed to remove small particles. Our patented Streamer technology is designed to eliminate viruses and allergens with accuracy.

Even though the threat of Covid is subsiding, the world has learned the importance of clean air and its health benefits, from decreasing the number of environmental triggers for conditions like asthma and allergies to reducing the spread of airborne diseases. Cleaner indoor air can also protect against outdoor pollutants such as smog and smoke. When you choose a Daikin air purifier, we want you to have complete peace of mind.

We want to make sure you’re getting the very best in air purification, so we’ve collaborated leading experts in the field to test our products. We’ve received test results from some of the world’s most renowned institutions.

How are Daikin air purifiers tested against respiratory viruses?

Daikin has always been first with innovative solutions, so we’re keen to test the effectiveness of our air purifiers. We asked the the renowned French laboratory Institut Pasteur de Lille (IPL) to rigorously test our units* and we are proud to share two of the most important results we received from them:

  1. Daikin’s air purifiers eliminate more than 99.98% of the human coronavirus HCoV-229E in 2.5 minutes. This virus is of the same family as SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus causing the Covid-19 pandemic.
  2. The units have also been evaluated as 99.93% effective against the H1N1 virus (which causes common flu) in 2.5 minutes.

This means Daikin’s air purifiers can help in the fight against respiratory diseases as the compact plug-and-play purifier can strongly contribute to reducing the risk of respiratory virus transmission.

Daikin’s seal of approval from the IPL is important to us: the Institut was founded in 1894 to respond to epidemics and is still a leading body in promoting disease prevention and good hygiene measures today. The IPL, with its 33 research teams, only works with carefully selected partners, so trusting Daikin’s products through its rigorous testing speaks volumes about our quality.

We know you want to keep your home safe and stop the spread of respiratory viruses – and we’re proud to be helping you do that with our tried-and-tested air purifiers.

More information about indoor air quality solutions

Maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for creating a healthy living environment. Below are some common questions about understanding how air purifiers can impact health, comfort and overall well-being.

What is the function of an air purifier?

An air purifier can remove pollutants, allergens, and other contaminants from the air. Using a combination of technologies such as electrostatic HEPA filters, activated carbon filters and ionisers, air purifiers help to capture and neutralise pollutants making the air you breathe considerably cleaner.

The 5 benefits of using an air purifier

There are many advantages of having an air purifier at home or in the office, including:

- Improving indoor air quality by removing pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mould spores and smoke from the air.

- Reducing allergies and asthma symptoms by removing allergens from the air.

- Reducing odours such as smoke, cooking odours and chemicals by using activated carbon filters and other purifying technologies.

- Improving sleep is one of the key benefits of an air purifier. It creates a cleaner and more comfortable sleeping environment by removing pollutants and allergens from the air.

- Creating a more comfortable and enjoyable living or working space by removing pollutants and allergens from the air.

There are seven signs that your home or office could benefit from an air purifier:

  • Symptoms such as headaches, sneezing or coughing can be related to poor air quality
  • A build-up of dust, mould or other visible pollutants around your home
  • Dust particles from a recently renovated home or office or from new furniture
  • Unpleasant odours such as smoke, cooking or cleaning chemicals or the smell of an open fire
  • A need to relieve allergies or asthma
  • High levels of air pollution from a high-density urban environment
  • A need to remove pet dander and other allergens from the air

Daikin’s air purifiers have high-efficiency electrostatic HEPA filters, which are designed to remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air, including common allergens such as dust, pollen, and pet dander.

Removing these small particles and allergens will improve air quality and reduce the symptoms of allergies and asthma.

Air purifiers can filter out the smell of smoke and harmful cigarette particles by using a combination of technologies such as high-efficiency electrostatic HEPA filters and activated carbon filters.

High-efficiency particulate absorbing filters are designed to remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air, including smoke, tar and nicotine. Air purifiers with odour filters remove volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as smoke odours and chemicals from the air by absorbing and neutralising them.

If you’re choosing an air purifier for health reasons and to remove smoke, look for a HEPA filter and CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) rating. The higher the rating, the more efficient the air purifier is at removing smoke, dust and pollen from the air.

HEPA filtration is a high-efficiency particulate air filter system that is designed to catch fine particles of dust. Research shows they remove 99% of particles between 0.1μm and 2.5μm in size.

How does the HEPA filter work?

The Daikin electrostatic HEPA filter collects dust efficiently using electrostatic forces, so it’s not prone to clogging.

What are the advantages of a HEPA air purifier?

An air purifier with HEPA filtration can purify a larger amount of air.

Unlike some filters that use fine mesh, the HEPA will not clog up with dust, but can collect smaller particles.

The benefits include improved air quality as the HEPA air purifier removes a wide range of pollutants and allergens and can reduce the symptoms of allergies and asthma.

HEPA filters typically last longer than other types of filters, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. The Daikin filter has a lifetime of 10 years.

Kućni ventilacijski sustav poboljšava kvalitetu zraka tako što unosi svjež vanjski zrak i uklanja ustajali zrak iz unutrašnjosti. Upotrebljava izmjenjivač topline za jamčenje stabilnih razina temperature i vlage, čime snižava troškove grijanja. Također, upotrebljava filtre za pomoć pri uklanjanju zagađivača i alergena, čime čisti zrak i čini ga zdravijim za disanje.

Sustav DUCO Centralized HRV poboljšava kvalitetu unutarnjeg zraka tako što unosi svježi vanjski zrak i uklanja ustajali zrak iz unutrašnjosti. Čini to upotrebom izmjenjivača topline, koji osigurava znatno stabilniju temperaturu u unutrašnjosti.

Ventilacijski sustav sastoji se od dvije glavne komponente:

1) Izmjenjivač topline: Izmjenjivač topline uređaj je koji prenosi toplinu iz ustajalog unutarnjeg zraka u svježi vanjski zrak. Time se održava stabilnost unutarnje temperature i snižavaju troškovi grijanja.

2) Filtri: Također, sustav sadrži filtre koji pomažu ukloniti zagađivače i alergene iz zraka. Ti filtri love i neutraliziraju zagađivače u zraku te čine zrak u tvojem domu ili uredu čišćim i zdravijim za disanje.

Osim toga, sustav DUCO Centralized HRV automatski prilagođava brzinu ventilatora na temelju kvalitete zraka. Dostupni su i upravljač te funkcija brojača vremena, koji rade u različitim prostorijama u kojima se sustav upotrebljava. Time ti se omogućava postavljanje rada sustava na određeno razdoblje.

Redovitim inspekcijama sustava DUCO Centralized HRV osigurat ćeš njegovu pouzdanost i dugovječnost. One mogu uključivati čišćenje otvora DucoVents, zamjenu filtara i provjeru postojanja propuštanja ili drugih problema.

Osim toga, važno je pobrinuti se za to da opskrbni i ispušni otvori ne budu zaklonjeni preprekama te redovito provjeravati indikator za zamjenu filtara kako bi se osiguralo da filtri nisu začepljeni i da se zamijene.

Protok zraka i temperatura u raznim prostorijama tvojeg doma ili ureda također se moraju uzeti u obzir i redovito provjeravati kako bi se osiguralo da sustav ravnomjerno raspodjeljuje svjež zrak u cijeloj zgradi.

Ventilacijski sustav pomaže poboljšati kvalitetu unutarnjeg zraka na brojne korisne načine.

Osim toga što unosi svježi vanjski zrak, također uklanja ustajali unutarnji zrak. Taj se postupak naziva i „izmjena zraka”. Njime se uklanjaju i razrjeđuju zagađenje, alergeni i druge štetne tvari u zraku.

1) Otvori: Ventilacijski sustav upotrebljava kombinaciju opskrbnih otvora DucoVents i ispušnih otvora DucoVents za cirkulaciju svježeg zraka u zgradi. Zatim taj svježi zrak distribuira s pomoću HEPA filtara. Oni filtriraju i stoga neutraliziraju unutarnji zrak te osiguravaju zdraviji i čišći zrak za udisanje.

2) Blaži simptomi alergija i astme: Ventilacijski sustav pomaže ublažiti simptome alergija i astme uklanjanjem čestica iz zraka.

3) Smanjenje mirisa: Svakodnevnim aktivnostima, kao što je kuhanje, nastaju neželjeni mirisi. Ventilacijski sustav pomaže ukloniti te neugodne mirise i čini tvoje životno okruženje ugodnijim.

4) Bolji komfor: Ventilacijski sustav može pomoći stvoriti komforniji i ugodniji prostor za život i rad. Uklanja zagađivače, neugodne mirise i alergene, čime ti stvara čišći i sigurniji prostor.

Loša ventilacija utječe kako na tvoj dom tako i na tvoje zdravlje. U loše ventiliranim domovima može doći do stvaranja vlage, koja zauzvrat uzrokuje vlagu i pljesnive mirise u gipsanim zidovima i drugim građevinskim materijalima. Stvaranje vlage također može dovesti do strukturalnih promjena i truleži, što zauzvrat može privući štetočine. Dakle, kao posljedica toga može nastupiti i drugi problem, a to je da se zgrade previše zagrijavaju ili hlade, što dovodi do povećane potrošnje energije i, u skladu s time, troškova. Nastanak vlage, bakterija i loše kvalitete zraka može dovesti i do respiratornih problema, alergija i osjećaja umora. Ta su dva problema povezana, a poboljšanjem ventilacije stvara se pomoć za njihovo otklanjanje.

Rješenja za poboljšanje kvalitete zraka

Postoje brojna rješenja za eliminaciju loše kvalitete zraka. Pomoći će prirodna ventilacijska rješenja, kao što su otvaranje prozora te izbjegavanje paljenja svijeća i kamina. Međutim, najučinkovitije je ugraditi mehanički ventilacijski sustav, koji je učinkovito i održivo rješenje za poboljšanje kvalitete zraka. Ako već imaš ugrađen takav sustav, zamjena i čišćenje filtra mogu ti donijeti goleme prednosti.

Postoje četiri glavna načina kako učinkoviti ventilacijski sustav može sniziti životne i kućanske troškove. Oni su sljedeći:

1) Energetske uštede: Sustav HRV (koji je najbolji način za uštedu troškova) pomaže pri uštedi energije. Prenosi toplinu iz izlazećeg zraka u svježi zrak tako da održi stabilnost temperature. Time se smanjuje potreba za grijanjem, a time i štede energetski troškovi.

2) Manja opterećenja grijanja i hlađenja: Izmjenom vanjskog zraka i uklanjanjem ustajalog unutarnjeg zraka ventilacijski sustav pomaže smanjiti opterećenja grijanja i hlađenja HVAC sustava. Zauzvrat, time se može produljiti vijek trajanja HVAC opreme. Naposljetku, time se štede troškovi održavanja.

3) Blaže alergije i astma: Sustav DUCO Centralized HRV uvelike pomaže ublažiti simptome alergija i astme uklanjanjem štetnih čestica iz zraka.

4) Niski troškovi održavanja: Sustav Duco odlikuje se niskim troškovima održavanja te je izrađen od visokokvalitetnih materijala i napredne tehnologije, što ga čini robusnim i dugovječnim.

Profesionalni instalater ventilacijskih sustava pregledat će zgradu i procijeniti troškove. Zatim će u obzir trebati uzeti veličinu zgrade i broj stanovnika za najsigurniji i najučinkovitiji sustav te postupak instalacije ventilacije. Konstruirat će prikladan ventilacijski sustav, uzimajući u obzir građevinske propise i nadogradnje potrebne za starije zgrade prije ugradnje kanala za Ducoflex. Sustavu se mora moći pristupiti kako bi se mogao redovito provjeravati i ispitivati u svrhu održavanja i obnove.

Za ugradnju ventilacijskog sustava potrebno je nekoliko koraka:

1) Procjena: Stručnjak procjenjuje zgradu kako bi se odredila vrsta ventilacijskog sustava koji je najbolje prikladan za određeni prostor. Pri tome se u obzir uzimaju faktoru kao što su veličina zgrade, broj stanovnika i razina zagađenosti zraka u dotičnom području.

2) Dizajn: Sljedeći je korak osmišljavanje ventilacijskog sustava. To uključuje raspored kanala za Ducoflex, lokaciju opskrbnih i ispušnih otvora te veličinu i vrstu potrebne opreme.

3) Ugradnja: Ugradnja ventilacijskog sustava u pravilu započinje kanalima za Ducoflex. Oni se zatim povezuju s opskrbnim i ispušnim otvorima, koji se u pravilu nalaze na zidovima ili u stropovima zgrade.

4) Ispitivanje: Po završetku ugradnje stručnjak će ispitati sustav kako bi se osiguralo da propisno funkcionira te se pobrinuti za to da je protok zraka uravnotežen i da je sustav u skladu sa zahtjevima građevinskih propisa.

5) Održavanje: Svaki je ventilacijski sustav potrebno redovito provjeravati, zbog čega je važno osigurati da tvoj instalater provodi redovite inspekcijske servise.
