Notice of acquisition of data on inactivation effects against airborne viruses/aerosols, including the novel coronavirus.
Ionair Japan Co., Ltd. (ionair Group base: Switzerland, Japan office base: Chiyoda, Tokyo, Representative Director: Beda Weibel) has collaborated with the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (Fraunhofer IBP), the largest applied research institution in the field of science and technology in Europe, to verify the effectiveness of the air purification system (AQS: Air Quality System) manufactured and sold by ionair in suppressing airborne viruses. It has been demonstrated that by variably adjusting and dispersing the corona discharge-type oxygen cluster ions/bipolar ions generated by ionair products, a reduction effect of 99.5% can be achieved. This effect is shown to be effective against the "novel coronavirus" through verification using Phi6 bacteriophages*1. We hope this information will be recognized as a preventive measure against the novel coronavirus. Ionair will continue to strive to contribute to society through verification research and development.

basic information
Ionair Concentration Adjustment Device (ICE-A1000/2000 a/m) *You can choose between two types of ion generation concentration control: automatic (auto) and manual (manual). Manual type: Sets a fixed generation amount and continuously generates a constant quantity of ions. Automatic type: Installs a sensor and generates the optimal ions based on calculated measurement data. Ionair Ion Generation Module IMM Series (Small) IMK Series (Medium) IMG Series (Large) Ion Tube Length: 190 mm / 250 mm / 360 mm / 530 mm Applications: Supply air / Extracted air / Exhaust treatment / Circulating air Installation Location: Within air conditioning units (AHU) / Air ducts (Note) The number of ion tubes will be calculated by Ionair based on the air conditioning ventilation frequency and area volume of the target area. Please contact us for inquiries. There is no interference with the design. No daily maintenance or replenishment is required. (Annual maintenance once a year) Inquiries through Ipros have been stopped. Please contact us directly at: P 03 3288 3220 E info@ionair.jp

Detailed information
-
This is an image of ion generation. By applying a constant high voltage to the generation tube, oxygen ions are produced from the air. Oxygen ions have properties similar to ozone and can remove odors and decompose chemical substances, but a characteristic of oxygen ions is that they have no impact on the human body.
-
This is an example of the AQS system configuration. By installing four types of sensors in the air conditioning ducts, air measurements are conducted. Based on that data, an appropriate ion concentration is generated. Additionally, the measurement data used during generation can be linked with the building management system.

Ionea - Inactivation demonstration (99.5%) assuming practical operation indoors for airborne viruses such as the novel coronavirus.
Company information
Founded in 1993 under the name "LK Luftqualität AG," the company currently operates under the name "ionair." It is a Swiss company that boasts a track record of over 10,000 installations in Japan, offering deodorization, air purification, and energy-saving systems. The ionair system generates oxygen ions using the corona discharge effect. It produces fresh and clean air without the use of chemicals, ultraviolet light, or ozone. Additionally, it is designed for use in occupied environments. - Deodorization Effect - By exposing contaminated air to oxygen ions, the system oxidizes and decomposes odor molecules and VOCs, breaking down and neutralizing the substances causing odors and converting them into water and carbon dioxide. - Air Purification Effect - Indoor air is more than five times more polluted than outdoor air. Ionair decomposes and neutralizes harmful substances such as chemicals, pollen, and viruses using oxygen clusters that have no adverse effects on the human body. - Energy-Saving Effect - By equipping the ducts of first-class ventilation air conditioning units, the system can reduce the airflow of the air conditioning unit. Furthermore, by increasing the amount of recirculated air and reusing exhaust air, it can significantly lower electricity costs associated with heating and cooling.
