Connecting with the world around us
Sharp studies nature to receive important hints for its air conditioner development. It uses the
power of ions, just as they’re generated in nature, to improve the air quality. Its gentle and effi cient
airfl ow control is guided by the shape of a bird’s wings. And its ecology-conscious design strives
to reduce the impact on the global environment. If you’re looking for a truly comfortable living
environment, the logical - and natural - choice is Sharp.
Plasmacluster ions clean the air Precise airfl ow control
The same positive and negative ions
that occur in nature clean the air
inside rooms, as well as break down
and remove unpleasant odors.

Sharp’s air conditioners take
advantage of a tendency in nature
that has been termed as „Coanda
effect” to heat and cool air evenly.
Unique „Nature Wing” fan blades New energy regulation compliant
By modeling fan blades after
the wings of birds and insects,
Sharp’s air conditioners increase
circulation effi ciency.
All Sharp air conditioners
are accurately measured and labeled
according to new seasonal energy
effi ciency legislation.

Plasmacluster Ions clean the room air.
The air inside ordinary houses contains invisible, harmful organisms such as bacteria and viruses. Sharp’s unique Plasmacluster technology, installed in your
air conditioner, uses the ac tions of positive and negative ions to clean up these airborne contaminants and create a pleasant living space.

• Plasmacluster technology can prevent the action of airborne viruses, as well as reduce the effects of suspended allergens generated by dust mite feces and dead mites by breaking them down, but Plasmacluster cannot create
a completely sterile environment, or ensure prevention of infection. • The actual number of ions and effectiveness of microbe removing*1 and purifying*2 depend on the room conditions and the operation methods, including room size or shape,
whether air conditioning or ventilation is used, product placement, direction of ion discharge, and operation mode. *1 Airborne viruses are suspended in a 1m3 box, and the percentages of the viruses removed after 10 minutes are measured.

The ions act on airborne
microbes.
The ions form hydroxide (OH) radicals
that are highly oxidizing only when
they adhere to the surfaces of mold and
viruses. They instantly remove
the hydrogen from the surface
proteins, breaking them down.

Sharp’s air conditioners take advantage of a tendency in nature that has been termed the “Coanda effect*2” to heat and cool air evenly. The Coanda
effect is the observed tendency of moving gas or fl uid leaving a nozzle of some kind to cling to and follow nearby surfaces. Sharp air conditioners
utilize this tendency by aiming the airfl ow at room surfaces, such as walls or ceilings, to more precisely control and direct the fl ow of air.

Usually, aircraft wing designs are used for airfl ow control and improved its products based on aerodynamics.
However, while aerodynamics is effective for moving large objects, it was discovered that the wings of birds and
insects are more effective examples for objects with the size of our products. This forms the basis of Nature Wing.

Inverter technology
Reaches preset temperatures in approx. 2/3 the time
Inverter air conditioners have a full-output operation
mode to reach the preset temperatures in about 2/3
the time of non-inverter models. Once the preset time
is reached, the inverter models switch to energy-saving
operation mode, in which
the inverter circuitry
regulates and maintains
room temperature by
switching the compressor
between high and low
operation modes.

Sine wave drive compressor control system
Uses the improved compressor control technology, which adopts
a 180° conductance sine wave instead of the conventional 120°
conductance waveform, resulting in a smoothing of motor
rotation. This greatly reduces energy loss, contributing to higher
effi ciency, and thus higher energy savings.
Reaches preset temperatures in approx. 2/3 the time
Inverter air conditioners go into energy-saving operation
mode immediately once the set temperature is achieved.
Sharp’s inverter air conditioners increase
performance effi ciency by using high-power
DC motors for the compressor and outdoor
fan, and a pulse linear expansion valve.

Meeting new Euripean energy effi ciency standards
Starting in January 2013, the previous EER and COP energy effi ciency ratings for air conditioners will be replaced by SEER and SCOP
ratings. The new ratings will provide assessments that come closer to actual use by considering seasonal and climatic variations
in Europe and performance in several modes. All Sharp air conditioners will be accurately measured in accordance with the new
legislation, and properly labeled prior to shipment.

Registration number
Sharp’s units for Europe comply with European regulations
that guarantee the safety of the product.
Sharp Corporation is participating in the EUROVENT Certifi cation Programme
with the products listed in the EUROVENT Directory of Certifi ed Products.
Note that Multi-split air conditioners with 3 or more indoor units are not in
the scope of the EUROVENT certifi cation.
Refrigerant GWP - Refrigerant leakage contributes to climate change. Refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GW P) would contribute less to global warming
than a refrigerant with higher GWP, if leakedto the atmosphere. This appliance contains a refrigerant fl uid with a GWP equal to 1975. This means that if 1 kg of this
refrigerant fl uid would be leaked to the atmosphere, the impact on global warming would be 1975 times higher than 1 kg of CO2, over a period of 100 years. Never tr y to
interfere with the refrigerant circuit yourself or disassemble the product yourself and always ask a professional.
Annual electricity consumption - Energy consumption “XYZ” kWh per year, based on standardtest results. Actual energy consumption will depend on how the
appliance is used and where it is located.
