NEGATIVE ION GENERATOR
How are negative ions generated?
The high efficiency negative ion generator can generate negative ions through
discharge of high voltage across a carbon fibre terminal of the ionizer, during
which the electrons and oxygen in the air combine to make negative ions.
Benefits of Negative Ions
As universally demonstrated by scientific research, it shows that the content of
negative ions in the air is of great importance to the air quality. People near
forests or waterfalls enjoy much better air quality and freshness of negative ion
content in these places is 1000 times more than office buildings and urban
residential areas. The oxygen rich negative ion is very active and much easier to
be absorbed by human organs, which is beneficial for human body growth,
preventing several diseases and reviving the spirit.
In the table: Ion stands for negative ion, S for number of ions, and cc for
millilitre.

Prevention of “Air-Con” Symptons for healthier life
Extended periods in an air-conditioned room may result in exposure to excessive
dust, hazardous gas and positive ions, which induce “Air-con” symptoms (light
headedness, insomnia, nervosas, hypo immunity, amnesia…) causing serious
health & comfort issues. It is verified through testing that rooms equipped with
negative ion fans can have the negative ions increased from 50 to 10,000 within
half an hour of operation. The density of the the negative ions can be as much
as 1 million, equivalent to that of negative ions found in forests or near
waterfalls after 3 hours of operation.
Long term exposure in this environment may benefit from improved myocardium
function, pulmonary function, better sleeping, promoting metabolism and
strengthening immune system of the human body.
Effects of Negative Ions in dust-proofing & sterilization
Negatively charged ions can be blown throughout the room by the fan to
neutralize the positive charge in the particles of smoke and dust that float in the
air, thereby losing their energy & will no longer remain in the air. The
combination of of negative ions on bacteria may deter the bacteria growth or
even kill the bacteria.
Therefore the negative ions are effective in creating a cleaner & more sterile
environment leading to a healthier lifestyle.
FEATURES
•Active Oxygen Negative Ions creating a healthy environment
The ionizer is one of the main parts of the unit, helping to clean the air while
cooling the air at the same time.
•Low power consumption
It only consumes 60W when on maximum to cool the air which is a big
saving when compared to an air conditioner.
•Humidifying
The humidity can be controlled
•Sterilization & neutralizing smelly odours
A very useful part of this unit is the air filter. It can be activated by exposure
to the sun. The photo-sensitizer used in the filter can absorb and dissolve the
harmful chemical gas in the environment effectively. It’s deodorant rate goes
up to 95% of odours to make fresh air and a healthy environment.
The light contact agent material can also be regenerated under the light
source to ensure cleaner air for a longer period before replacement is
required.
•Mult-purpose
•100% Wide angle air delivery
Three fan speed selections: Low, Medium & High.
•Remote Control
6 metre remote control and 90° remote control signal.
