Panasonic O2 Shower
Does this mean anything to you?
It should not if you are in an open area.
But what about when we are sleeping in our room with all the windows and door closed???
!!@! We are actual in a confined place whenever we are using air con. The oxygen percentage will keep decreasing as there are no new air entering our room. We might be lacking of OXYGEN!!!
Panasonic noticed this concern and came up with their indoor units capable of producing oxygen by bringing in 'new' air from outside thus maintaining the oxygen percentage at 21% or slightly above.
It is called the O2 Shower.
Principle
Every time we breathe, oxygen is consumed. And in order to maximise the cooling effect of the air con, most rooms are actually closed environment thus through out the night (or usage) oxygen level will decrease as we breathe. As research shows, whenever the oxygen level is below 18% we will feel uncomfortable. Thus it is important to replenish the 'loss' oxygen by adding in oxygen. This will ensure that the room will always remain at a comfortable oxygen level.
How did Panasonic does that?
A pump is actually installed in the outdoor unit and is used to draw in 'fresh' air from outside. This 'fresh' air passes through a oxygen enrichment membrane system. This membrane is able to re-produce air that has 30% oxygen concentration. This oxygen rich air will then be released into to the room through a hose connecting from the outdoor unit in the same trunking as the piping into the indoor unit. This method will maintain the oxygen level will stay somewhere around 21%* or more constantly.
The membrane also acts as a filter to prevent small dust particles, bacteria and other harmful elements thus ensuring whatever air entering the room is clean.
