Daikin Industries Limited, an air-conditioning brand, confirms the effectiveness of patented streamer technology to inactivate many viruses that can lead to respiratory illnesses. The brand says it was proved in a joint study done with Professor Shigeru Kyuwa, Department of Bio-medical Science, the University of Tokyo, and a group research professors from Department of Microbiology Okayama University of Science.
To verify the effectiveness of streamer technology the brand has previously demonstrated over 60 types of harmful sub-stances, including some bacteria, allergens and viruses, to be suppressed/inactivated by the technology. The technology uses streamer discharge, which Daikin says they developed in 2004, to perform oxidative decomposition of harmful substances.
